But that shouldn't stop the recording 

turn it on and try before making judgement

and it doesn't create thumbnail until finished

I was wondering i try to recond something and the steam will be fine but it will stop and fo a thumbnail but it will say still recording on the top of the screen 

of course it's fine

I've recorded what I watched and it froze but recording didn't

or you don't want a thumbnail created when you go to pvr?

4900, I have not tried (maybe out of curiosity, I'll try tomorrow).. But U5 I have, and it does boot.  But then again, since it is not designed for it, it may not work on all devices.

 

the u5 will react the same as a stick using most tv's usb port for power(my tv's usb powers my stick just fine but that's the only one out of five)

it'll keep rebooting or crash

the 3900 is 3amp no other 5v is for other boxes

for $15-$20 I would just stick with what box/device came with

if that doesn't work email buzztv info

did you try livetv/menu/settings/check updates?

Is there any news on to get bumped to android 11(it could easily work with android 11)? Or no updates anymore.

they don't do os upgrades

and I've gotten many,many software updates this year

I tried a 5v on my 4900 last week and it stayed on red light...never booted

I only tested backlight once for a few presses

after that never again

I hate having to recharge my batteries...lol

ya the bt-200 is my favourite as well

can start a download and only turn tv off when I crash

Will a 5v 3.0 amp power supply handle the U5 with an internal or external hard drive? 

nope

it probably won't even turn on

I love my 4900

2½ years old and still going strong

point the remote directly at the stick from up close if you don't have the ir extender

nope

in fact I'm downloading a vod right now while watch mnf

you never replied about trying a browser

my guess is the wws site hasn't been updated

they have refurbished for sale

ya I checked to see if any different options but like you said there was none

at least vlc comes preinstalled

so no biggie

plus vlc gives better audio options

speaking of audio when I hooked up my 3900 to format drive the bootup scared the crap out of me...lol

so I downloaded four 4k movies today and none had any audio...lol

they play fine in vlc though

does provider have addidtional portal url's to use?

did you take the 20230913 software update to 5.0.893?
