Does the suspend mode now turn the box off like the 4500's do? (Green light goes off and red light comes on)?

It does now with the latest update!

Now all they need to do is get the backup and restore working.

The are working on getting TWRP backup/restore working on Android 11 boxes.

It's not a huge issue for me, since I keep all my latest apks that I typically install, on a single USB stick.  So if I have to reset, reinstalling all my apps takes less than 10 minutes and maybe another 10 or 15 minutes to configure them.  Now if you install something like Kodi and piles of plugins with all sorts of customizations, I can see where the backup would be handy.

The one thing that would be useful (for me at least), would be to be able export "my favorites" (per service) to some sort of backup file (xml or other form) and then be able to restore them after a reset or clear data of the buzztv 5 data.  But for now, it is not a huge deal since it is not something I do frequently anyhow.
