JimBob Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 I already have a xrs4900 which works fine. Been looking around to buy another one here in Canada, but seems they are all out of stock. Am I missing something? Is a different model coming out soon I should wait for? Quote
stdly Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Canadian WintronicComputers have it but $249 I have bought from them many times. Go here canada.buzztvglobal.com and take a look at all the newer models running android 11. I'm no expert but the classic with the 2 good remotes for $189 looks tempting. Quote
Emporium Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 The U5 is pretty much the "replacement" for the 4900. And now they have a U5 with 128GB (instead of just 32GB) of onboard storage. And you have a slot underneath (like the 4900) to add an HDD/SSD. The U5 is a nice box, with AndroidTV 11. The only thing, I have a little preference for the BT200 remote that was included on the 4900 But that is personal preference. Otherwise the U5 works great. I have installed a spare SSD I had lying around and it just works (like most Buzz boxes). The Classic with 2 remotes is also a nice deal. I recently convinced a buddy of mine to buy one, and so far, he is liking it. 1 Quote

stdly Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Never knew about the warranty problems. I'm not pushing Wintronics I am local to the Mississauga store and bought a lot of computer components back in the day but never had to use a warranty lucky I guess. Bought my first MAG box and a Formuler Z7+ off them both are still working. I realize the Classic is not the replacement for the 4900 but thought I could get him looking at the newer models at that price. Quote
nbs. Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 The classic is a really good box for the money 3 Quote
stdly Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 It's too bad my XR4500 is so darn reliable or I'd be buying one of those Android 11 boxes . LOL Quote
JimBob Posted April 18, 2023 Author Posted April 18, 2023 just following up, since I was OP, ...got myself a U5 from WWS, and love it .. 3 Quote
