dishuser Posted October 1 Posted October 1 no issues with install not sure how long the download took as I was watching the evening news last night when I received it 1 Quote
whacked Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Also did the update last night. I was quite surprised after the update was completed that I had the Buzz6 app sitting there on the Home Screen. I hadn't thought it was there before. Seemed like a nice surprise, or so I thought. You see NBS told me last night about the update so I powered on the SS and there sure enough was an update. And after completion there was that Buzz6 app there on the Home Screen. I run 4 boxes at once thru a HDMI Switch, so I never have to disconnect reconnect HDMI cables, All I do is power up which ever device I want and the HDMI Switch picks up the signal and switches automatically. Easy Peasy. But turns out I had the P6 powered on (which I didn't realize) and at same time as the SS, so the HDMI Switch recognized the P6 and so as per happens, the P6 also had an Update waiting, and that's what I thought was the SS update.... lmao... I thought it was funny, still laughing at myself... I was so impressed that the SS device got the Buzz6 app as a surprise 3 Quote

Emporium Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Just curious, when you say stuck at the buzz emblem, how long did you give it ? Just asking, because I recently manually updated a different box and I thought it was bricked because it went through boot logo, boot animation and then stuck at buzz logo, for what seemed to be close to 3 or 4 minutes. 3 or 4 minutes can feel like a super long time when you are stuck staring at a screen doing nothing. But low and behold, after the 3 or 4 minutes, it started the initialization. Quote
Dannylares Posted November 19 Posted November 19 How can I back up / save my new buzz sport before I take any update ? Just in case the box gets brick , is telling me to install new update , I don’t want to , I want to save my original firmware from factory firmware just in case I can tried to unbrick the box , Quote
Emporium Posted November 19 Posted November 19 The only thing you can backup (which is always good thing to do), is to backup your BuzzTV settings (ie: servers, app settings, favorites...). That way if anything happens and you are forced to do a factory reset, you can easily restore your server and favorites. PS: just make sure you save the backup file to a USB stick, because if you save it internally only, then it is gone once you do a reset, so kind of defeats the purpose. Now for backing up the whole box including 3rd party apps you may have installed, like DU already mentioned, there is no way. If 3rd party apps have a function to export their configs, then great.

Dannylares Posted November 19 Posted November 19 So how to I save that in a usb stick , where to I look for saving that info in my box ? Thanks Quote
