As we tried it on 3 different big brands and 3 different mesh networks without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wright Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Having freezing issues now, I did discover the resolution was switched during the upgrade to 1080p. I discovered that setting the screen resolution to 1080i stopped 99% of the freezing issues, I set it back. So far after a half hour it appears to have fixed the issue. Then the remote, I have to now get up and get within a few feet of the U5 box to get it to work. When I press the up or down arrow to scroll through menus it takes off, and keeps scrolling like it has a mind of its own until I get even closer to the box and press the center enter button. The batteries are at 86% and I am using Energizers. And yes, I went and paired the remote again, and then again. There are no BT devices between my sitting position and the U5 box. Very annoying.

Kone Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I'm using Ubiquity UDM PRO plus U6-LR Access Point. Tried disabling all the possible options. Only WPA3 is enabled and cannot connect. WPA2 works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try factory resetting the remote Hold down the 0 + Down button on the remote for 5 seconds. It will blink to confirm its been reset. It will work as an IR remote after doing this. You can re pair the remote from the Buzz Smart Remote App I think it might have just been a bad connection between the remote and the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wright Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 BT-400 remote no longer works via BT, I have to be within a few feet of the box to get it to work, roughly two to three feet. I reset the remote by pressing the "zero" and "down" button. I went to the Home Screen to pair, and discovered the buttons for both the Buzz remote pairing and the Buzz OTA no longer work. I click on them, the screen fades to blue, and right back to the Home Screen. When I went to settings, to the remote settings, I can no longer control back lighting, it is faded out. I cannot access any BT-400 remote settings. Then the freezing, now it is every half hour, I had it virtually eliminated prior to the upgrade. Looks like another hard reset is in my future. The juice is getting to the point it is no longer worth the squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Wright Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Loaded up the update, lost remote control function, did a factory rest, remote now work. But, all I get now is the "Time Shift Error: Stream not available". It just flashes over and over. I have rest the server several times, double triple check EPG loads no issues, everything is there, now no stream at all, and it was working fine prior to doing the hard rest to fix the BT-400 issues. GRRRR! I tried YouTube, works fine. TX switched on, external hard drive attached and recognized. Now, black screen with time shift error flashing. Any suggestions? I have tried everything I can think of, including erasing Cache and resetting the PG numerous times, along with shutting the U5 down by pulling the plug. Even on the Home Screen, non stop flashing time shift error, stream no available, on the Home Screen? Go to EPG, VOD, nothing loads.

Michael Wright Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Everything is working now... Reset the U5, changed providers and now everything seems to be stable. Remote is now working, and can control the TV. What a headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhusker24 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Can you make it so we can hide channels in our groups that we don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: In upcoming firmware you will be able to create multiple "favorites" groups, name them whatever you want, and therefore you will not be limited to a single favorites group. It's actually a very nice feature. with multiple people using the box, you can each have your own favorites groups Or, just use it to organize your favorites in multiple categories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhusker24 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I love that but there's a bunch of blank channels and channels that are useless so since you can do it with groups and rearrange the groups why not the channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
