Thanks, sea157. I think I'm going to try the Buzz 5 beta.

I do have 3 lines with one of my providers and I'd love to record one channel, while watching another. I hope the recording to SSD via USB3 works fine.

My guess is that the next step will be to send my MAC address to Allaboutbuzz via PM and ask for a beta access.

Thank you all for quick responses and helpful info.

what firmware version do you have?

if it's v20211108 then check for update and before leaving screen enter 2015 with remote

My X5 will not update. Tried numerous times. It will download and then tell me to reboot. After rebooting nothing happens it locks up. I have to unplug and plug the box in about five times so that I can use it and then it tells me to update. While watching shows a notice will pop up telling me to update this is really frustrating. This has been going on since I bought the box about 4 months ago.

 

you need to load 3 files to sd card

I posted the video above

write down all your server info because the fix resets the box as well

menu and look at the bottom for iptv version

home page/settings/updates to check firmware version

That is typically what you get if you press and hold the power key on the remote.  

The few times I have gotten that, I realize that the wife has fallen asleep and rolled over onto the remote

 

every night at the same time?

what version is your 4500 at?

AtI just got 2 xrs4500 boxes, I’m looking for a provider especially for sports, and one that the rec and playback functions will work. Any suggestions?

you're on the wrong site for that info

I have my U5, X5, HD5 and my older xrs4500 connected to a 27" HP  computer monitor via HDMI, and I have a pair of Bose sound companion 2 speakers connected to the Audio out from the monitor (which just takes the audio from the HDMI and outputs it over a standard 1/8" audio jack), and I have not noticed any difference in terms of volume loudness between any of the boxes (at least not with the 2 servers I use and one custom M3U list of live streams).  

 

on my 4900 and older models I have tv set at 60%

all the newer models the volume is controlled by the source so anywhere between 15% to 20%

the box doesn't output the audio like other models

did you do auto tv setup in the app?

We shipped him an SD Card with the files already on it
Tested it before sending as well.

that's what I said

not sure if you watched this

most of the beginning doesn't matter since card already has the files

Yes. I unplugged everything from the x5. I inserted the card(32gb). Then I plugged in the HDMI cable. I pressed the reset button and plugged it in. I held the button for about 20 secs. Had the red light since then.

try it again

it took me 2 tries

second time light turned blue after about 5 minutes

its not beta anymore

but only available to beta users

years ago I bought an asus 4 in 1 router(about the size of a pack of smokes) for $35 on kijiji

set it up as a repeater one floor away from modem/router

could get 4 bars 500' away at garage going thru several walls as well

easily the best item I ever got from that site...lol

of course it makes a difference

and I can choose between 2.4 and 5 on my x5

Completely forgot about them.  I had bought my first xpl3000 from them

compare the 2 addresses...lol

True but the 4900 has the advantage of being able to add an internal 2.5" HDD/SSD (like the U5), making it ideal and a lot neater for those recording large amounts (or downloading VOD locally).

I installed a 256GB SSD initially, now replaced it with a 1TB SSD in my 4900 and it works quite well.  Don't need to use internal storage for recordings, and neither a USB key.

But in terms of CPU power, yes the X5/U5 have the advantage.   But keep in mind that the X5 and U5 are newer, so there may be a few little glitches initially, but Buzz is addressing them quickly as they appear, as usual.

The 4900 however is getting harder and harder to find.  Buzztvglobal canada site no longer lists it, and neither on amazon canada (direct from buzz).

 

wws still has them

they were asking for recording and functionality lol 

specs wise X5 has upper hand

128gb holds a lot more recording than 64gb...lol
