70 years old people will NEVER go in settings and you know this

If you don't know anything about mechanics, are you going to start dismantling your car? obviously not. people who don't know anything won't look at these options. I didn't want to be arrogant. but just to demonstrate that it is unfair to block options, especially image quality options which are visible to the eye. but it is a choice of the company. and I can tell you that just for this blocked option I would not want to buy the P6. because it is a device that will also be intended for video games. and it's really not fair to block image quality like this.

I hope the BT500 will resolve this issue. But honestly it doesn't make sense, for example, if I restart my desktop computer, I do not have to turn my screen off and on. I restart my computer without turning my screen off and on. I restart my U5 and I have to turn my television off and on again (if I want to take advantage of controlling the TV volume with the U5 remote control). Seriously, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe no one complains, because people just pull the power plug without bothering to turn off the box. And you know just like me that it's very bad to do that

Like for example if a user change and unsupported resolution in windows ... I understand your point of view. But try to understand mine, I am penalized for not being able to choose a complete color range because of the potential ignorance and incompetence of certain users... I don't think it's fair

ok thank you

thank you for your answer I understand better now. I have other device with amlogic S905X4 and I can change this option. Personnaly I watch with YCbCr444 8bit or YCbCr422 12bit, because my TV can support it. Because it's the best option for colors. As technical guy you know why. So I am really disapointed I can not choose this option. It's like to have an Ferrari and it's limited to 200km/h because some people could have an accident. I'm sorry but you are the only boxes with which I encounter this kind of limitation. I don't find that normal. Why with other boxes that have the same Amlogic chip I can change that but not with your box ?

it does not work, it puts the TV in standby mode and nothing happens to U5 box. And even if it's works it's not a good option. Imagine, I reboot my box but my TV is in standby mode, and I should power up again my TV. The mistake and the Auto TV setup is "will control Power" Auto TV setup should only control the Volume of TV not the power (standby). HDMI-CEC it's here to control the power off ot TV. I am really the only one I see it's an non sense ? I don't think I am so stupid and crazy, because on all other boxes the equivalent of Auto TV setup does not control the Power of TV only volume.

If you want to develop the brand, your product must be able to be easily used by a seventy year old person who does not have technological knowledge

Ok fine. But with F brand it's not like this ... With A brand also, with tivimate also Maybe we should ask ourself why F brand sell so much device ? Once I was in a shop in my town to buy an IPTV Box the seller told me the 90% of his sales are the F brand. Which really upsets me But ok I am the only one which complain ... Because maybe buzztv boxes are not well know here in my country (Europe Central). The biggest IT resller in my coutry does not sell buzztv boxes but he sells F brand boxes. If buzztv wants to remain a niche market it must continue like this. But if it wants to develop and surpass the F brand, it will have to think as an end user and not as a power user. In terms of menus and intuitiveness. But obviously I'm a rude and negative person because I try to improve things. Because I see the potential of the brand. It is better than brand A and brand F. But you think like power users and not like average end users

the same here until I set up Auto TV setup (which allow me to control the volume +- of the TV, with the BT-400). When Auto TV setup is configured holding power button puts the box and the TV in standby without any menu choice

It puts the TV and the U5 in Standby (HDMI-CEC is enabled AND Auto TV setup configured). No more menu with Power off / Restard options

your argument is right but we should have the choice of the list of episodes, for example to rewatch an episode and ordinary users they don't understand that they have to put the series in favourites, they will go to recently watched and continue watching by episode I think for the end users it's most simple to go in recently watched. For end users it should be the most simple and make this manipulation to put in favourites after searching it's not intuitive That's my point of view and I think the goal is to sell boxes to the maximum number of people and for this all should be really simple. And simple for end user point of view and not from technical guys. 99% of end user will not come in forum to ask question. They will buy a box from provider and put power off and everything should be intuitive. And the procedure to search put the search result in favourite to have the "full" menu of episodes it's really not intuitive, it's already a trick. And again this is not to say that the product is not good, I actually want this product to work and exceed the sales of the F brand, because the Buzztv products are better.

What I mean it's to have the menu Power off / Restart Yes the power button puts the TV and the box in standby. So HDMI-CEC it's properly configured. But if I want to unplug my box from power outlet, I should first Power off, not put the box in standby But when HDMI-CEC is enabled AND Auto TV setup configured it's not possible to acces to the menu Power off / Restart. Only standby When HDMI-CEC is enabled AND Auto TV setup NOT configured I have three choices for my box : Standby (with power button) and Power off / Restart with the menu When HDMI-CEC is enabled AND Auto TV setup configured I have one choice for my box : Standby (with power button). Power off/Restart menu (long pressing power button does not display anymore Power off/Restar menu, puts everything in standby). It would be really nice to have HDMI-CEC enabled AND Auto TV setup configured AND long pressing power button makes the Power off/Restart menu appears

sorry I did not see the answer from Emporium. It's a solution which works But what do you think, it will not be a good option to have in recently watched bot "menus" ? The list with season 1, season 2, etc and also the menu play, continue watching

Thank you for you answer, I know this and I make it works also. My question is : How to have restart/power off menu with HDMI-CEC enabled AND Auto TV setup configured (with my TV brand) ? Because F brand have this feature, which is really good. And if they implemented this feature it's because it's very practical. Again I don't critize buzztv box I only want the buzztv boxes have this good feature. Which is really useful. I project to buy P6, U5 was only a test before P6. But this features should be implemented, because it is very useful and practical. It's the details that make the difference

I will send you PM message about what I mean

the BT-400 has only one set of +-volume but the question it's not here even basic remotes with few buttons you can change volume up/down on the TV (because of some channels have sound which you can control with the box, and some channel have dolby sound which you can not control with the box, if you use external device who decode dolby) It's only question of software implementation and yes I am frustrated that a 200 euros box does not offer the same basic functionality as a 50 euros box, especially since these are software features Maybe you can understand me maybe not, but I believe my opinion is justified

sorry in fact you don't see that each time I ask something it's always a problem from my side or from my equipement In fact if I can not ask some feature or complain about something which does not work for me, just tell it And could you please tell me what I should do to have this option working (color space setting) ? Because what I feel, it's U5 it's perfect no need to improve something and your TV is bad. So if you want to have this BASIC setting working change your TV. We will not improve nothing in the box. Really it's what I feel

Why I want to control volume on TV ? Because on some channels/movies with dolby sound the box does not allow you to control the volume ... So you need to have the play with two remotes ... Really someting from the last century

I tried but it's not what I mean. Look for example when I search a serie, I click on the name on the serie and after comes to an menu with the cover of the serie and season 1, season 2, etc But if you but the serie un favourite or in recently watched you can not enter anymore in this "full" menu, you have : play, continue watching, etc If you want to find again this "full menu" you have to search or scroll to the serial. This menu : play, continue watching, etc is good for movies, this yes. But for series it will be better to have this menu AND also the "full" menu where you can look seasons in the same place

I will ask the question in another way. Could you please explain me how to get the same menu like in picture with HDMI-CEC enabled AND Auto TV setup configured (with my TV brand) ?

Could you please try to understand something ? I don't know if I can post brand here but clearly I will explain you the issue. I have Panasonic OLED model produced by Panasonic on 2022, which I think it's up to date TV. These settings where available with : Formuler Z11 Pro Max BT1, Amiko A11 Gold, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2. Gen), Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd. Gen) and others ... What are you trying to explain me in fact ? It's issue from my TV ? But with all others boxes the option is available ... What's your point of view : U5 compatibility should be improved ? Or should I change my TV (which has not problem with other box brands) ? In fact I don't understand what you try to tell me I should accept that's this option it's not available with U5, which I paid more than 200 euros ? And available from 50 euros box ? Really tell me, because it's like I just need to shut up and be happy with this issue

I understand your point of view. But you know today there's 3 brands of good boxes on the market, Buzztv, brand A an brand F. Like I said before, I hope Buzztv to become the number one in the market, but fot this sometimes it's necessary to look what others offers as good option and offer also the same option. But in my point of view one on/off button to enable/disable ipv6 is a must on the settings and also the option to easily change the dns to cloudflare, quad9, google For example if I go to see my gf or a friend with my box I don't want to mess with they router. And these two options can be a game changer between the stream works or not. P.S. Pfsense is really good solution, I used it for years on Pcengines hardware, and before Pfsense I used m0n0wall

It's not the main issue. My main issue is to control the TV volume with Buzz remote and be able to shutdown/reboot the U5.

sorry, but I think it's not normal to need to buy additional remote for this even with boxes at 50-60 bucks you have these feature, I will not post brands here sorry I don't consider normal to buy additional remote on 200$ boxe, when 50-60$ box do the trick
