JimBob Posted March 31, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stdly Posted March 31, 2023 Share 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.

Emporium Posted March 31, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stdly Posted April 1, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbs. Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 The classic is a really good box for the money 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdly Posted April 1, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
