How long should this update take

XRS4900 took about 30 seconds seems short for amount of things listed

Thank you all for your time

sounds right to me

if you look at the bottom of the screen it tells you the size

[Emporium]

It's about right...  20 30 seconds for the download, and maybe 10 seconds of a few flashes and restart of buzztv app.  

This was APP update only, NOT firmware, so it is quick.  Doesn't usually matter if it is 1 line of code change, or 200 bug fixes... The app is roughly the same size (plus/minus a bit) regardless.

I was going to ask the same question, all my box said was database update, 30 seconds later restarted.

Thanks

Correct this was just an app update

So only about 65MB in size
So that is why it was so fast.

Plus it doesn't require the box to reboot like a Firmware update.

Got an issue with new app update if your in favorites catergory and u punch in channel number it goes to the all channel catergoy instead of staying in favorites. Also does the same thing if u hit guide and press a channrl to have the guide go to it jumps to all channel category

because you playing channel from all categories. try to play one channel from your favorite list other than thats current playing then try and you will see it will stay in your favorites.

try selecting channel renumbering to see if it helps because my 4900 stays in same category I was in

OK.. I just reproduced it on my B5

With Group channel numbering on, this is not an issue.

With Channel Group numbering off, if I'm watching a channel and then from LiveTV stream, I punch is something like "1635" to go to that channel, it changes, but then, even though I was in my favorites and this new channel is also in my favorites,  when I hit OK, to scroll through channels, I am in "All Channels" category now.

Same thing when in GUIDE mode.  Scroll through favorites, and then enter something like "3464" which may even be displayed on your GUIDE of favorites, it will hesitate for a quick sec, switch to "ALL Channels" category, and then show you the 3464 entry.

Guess there needs to be some logic added that "IF" the channel is in the same category that you are in presently, then it doesn't need to change to "All Categories".  Obviously if it is NOT in your current category, then "All channels" switch is the obvious option.

 

* Channel numbers above are just arbitrary, to describe the issue.

Just tried it on my X5 (now on 5.0.905) and it seems to work as expected now.  If channel is in the Favorites category, it stays in the favorites category when you manually switch to another channel in the favorites category..  Actually as a matter of fact, if you are in ANY category, if you choose a channel that is in the same category, it does not change category.  

Thanks
