we have around 7 X5 active units and none have issues with pairing. no issues with firmware but lots of new functions and improvements with buzztv 5 app. so saying buzz has done absolutely nothing makes no sense. we are using bt-400 remote controls and not disconnect once.
average android box? seriously, have you seen packaging alone? forget about quality material. android boxes you are talking about mostly are fake, fool you with software but in reality they are not inside what your software show you.
buzz is real product with real support.
