I just switched mine over from Buzz 4 to the Buzz 5 and thought I had a big problem. It just keep going in a loop and telling me the Buzz 5 app was not working. I did a hard reboot 2 times with no change. I finally got into settings and cleared cache, rebooted with no change. The next time I got into settings I cleared cache again and this time I also cleared data, rebooted and it now was working properly! The only thing I had to do was put in all my server settings and setup all my favorite channels again (bit of a PITA) but it is all working GREAT right now! Right now I am trying to do a scheduled recording with the box turned off in the suspend mode, I want to see if the box turns on and records, If it can do that I will be VERY HAPPY because my XRS4500 Max never would record a program more then about 5 to 10 minutes. In about an hour I will let you know how I make out with the recording. 

WAHOO this box is working GREAT! The box woke up and recorder the show I had scheduled with one button push. This is the first time since I bought my XRS4500 Max that it ever recorded a complete program. These guys did a GREAT job on the Buzz 5 app, At this time I highly recommend switching from Buzz 4 to Buzz 5!! 

Emporium,

That is good to know, then it must be something to do with the U5 box that I am sure they can fix in the future.

dishuser,

Are you saying on other Buzz TV boxes running Buzztv 5 the suspend shut off mode turns the box off like it did in the buzztv 4 app and when you start back up you go right back to where you were before you shut down?

If that is what you are saying then yes it must just be a bug in the U5 that I hope they can fix in the future.

Yes I always liked the suspend mode like it was on the Buzz4 app.

When you shut down in the suspend mode in Buzz 4 app it completely turned the box off, saved some electric and also gave the box  a chance to cool down also.

And I liked as soon as you turned it back on you were right back to where you stopped it.

But I will say the recording features in the  Buzz 5 app works GREAT !!  In the Buzz 4 app it never worked any good at all. lol

nbs, the main bug I have right now is this will not let you shut down in the suspend mode, the only way you can shut down is in the shut down mode.

I always liked to shut down in the suspend mode because when I start up again it goes right to the channel I was watching when I shut down.

I needed to go to the IR 200 remote to get everything setup to work like I wanted it to.

With the BT400 remote every time I would shut down, the TV would go off, and when I turned the TV on to watch my cable box the Buzz U5 would turn back on even though I did not turn it on with the BT400 remote.

With the IR200 remote everything is working like I want it to.

Now I want to see it it turns on and records the program I have set to record at 5PM then shuts off after it records for an hour.

If it can do that I will be very happy with it.

It seems like they have quite a few bugs to work out in the U5 yet, I wish these would have been all worked out before it was put on sale being this is the highest price box they are selling.

GREAT by turning the CEC switch off that seemed to work! Now the U5 turns off without turning my TV off, that is just what I wanted!

THANK YOU dishuser!!

The only way I can get mine to stay off is to remove the power cord.

If it shuts down and turns red as soon as I turn my TV on to use our cable box the U5 box turns on automatically!  

I do not want the U5 box to have any control over my TV and I don't know how to stop it from controlling my TV.

Any help would be appreciated!!

How can I factory reset my U5?

I do not want this to control my TV!

When I put it to suspend upon power off it never goes off, light just stays blue never turns red!

As of right now I am VERY disappointed in this box, Paid $260.00 for it and it doesn't work near as good as my 4500 boxes.

I am now trying to do a scheduled recording that should start box and record then after recording the box should shut off, if this function doesn't work this box will go back!

Just to turn it on and off and to change channels.

But if I get the code numbers it may operate almost everything the Buzz remote does.

I am looking for the code number to use with a Sony sound bar remote.

Do you have a code number to allow the Buzz XRS4500 to operate with a universal remote?

SD card i've tried are 4gb and 32gb ,USB flash drive 8gb and 16gb 

What the best file system to use when formatting  sd cards and USB flash drives?

I would no use anything smaller then the 32gb for the backup.

Had my box for 2 weeks now been trying to do a backup today but its not doing it tried 2 different usb sticks and a sd card I let it run for 50 mins but no joy.

Can anybody get theirs to backup if so how??

 

Thanks Ray

Be patient it takes A LOT LONGER to do a backup then it takes to do a restore. (usually about an hour to do a backup)

What size SD card or USB flash drive are you trying to use?

Yes you are correct it is: 0000

I am setting up my new XRS4500 box and am trying to set a password in parental controls.

It is asking for my old password but I never set a password before and without the old password it will not let me set a news password up.

Any idea what the password would be for a new box?

Just an update, you CAN NOT use the backup file from a XRS4500 MAX box to do a restore on a XRS4500.

I think the problem is the restore backup file is listed as xrs4500max_backup, and it never shown in the restore menu on a XRS4500 .

I think you could only use this as a restore backup to another XRS4500 Max box.

Should work 

I will let you know, I am going to give it a try.

Worst case I will need to do a factory reset on the box if it doesn't work. lol

Quick question.

I have a XRS4500 MAX box all setup just how I like everything to be, I made a USB flash drive backup of it.

My question is:

Today I am getting a new XRS4500 Ultra for a second box.

Can I use the backup I made for the XRS4500 Max and just load that onto my new XRS4500 Ultra in the restore function?

If I can my new XRS4500 Ultra would be all setup just the way I like everything without me having to go into all the settings and set everything up again.XRS

Yes I just found out when this happens you just have to hit your server, and that will refresh your server connection.

Everything is good now!  

What is going on?

Tonight whenever I hit my live TV button it just takes me to the server setup screen, EPG is doing the same thing.

When you want to move an icon, you long press on it, the move dialogue come up, you press on move.

Then how do you move it ?
