DETAILED BUZZ TV GUIDE
So you've set up your BuzzTV box, and now you want to watch all your favorite shows and movies. To begin, you'll need to connect to your internet in order to stream the media to your device. Browsing into the Settings (found on the Home screen), you'll find a selection that includes WiFi in the top row. When you click there you will find three connection settings, for WiFi, Ethernet, and VPN. If you are connecting wirelessly, find a network using the WiFi option. If you are using a wired connection with an Ethernet cable, select the Ethernet option. Advanced users interested in security and privacy may want to connect using a VPN.

Before we advance, you should familiarize yourself with the remote. Naturally, you used the Arrows and OK button to get this far, but there are many features that you may not guess so easily.
->At the top, in black, you have traditional TV controls: rewind, play, fast forward, stop, and mute. Below the arrows are the volume and channel +/- buttons.
->At the top, in color and bearing no symbols, you will find buttons with a function that will depend where you use them. You will always find this information at the bottom of the screen where they are applicable. If no colored button is found in the legend at the bottom of the screen, they have no use in that area.
->There are also three (3) light grey system navigation keys, which include Menu, Return/Back, and Home. Note: The Return button does not close the popup Menu. Simply press the Menu key a second time to do this.
->You will also have three shortcut buttons to more quickly switch between the three main sections of BuzzTV: Live TV, VOD, and EPG.
->The K button below these will transport you to the Kodi app, where you can create a custom media set with your own contents or Add-On contents.
->The "i" (Info) button on the opposite side will give you details about a show or movie, including its rating, and its synopsis.
->In the middle is the Recall Channel button, which has the same purpose as this button on traditional remote.
->One last key feature of the BuzzTV remote is the Mouse button, which gives you an on-screen cursor to freely select contents as opposed to being bound by menus. Use the arrows to move it, and press the Mouse button again to hide the cursor.

Now that you are online, you will be able to browse the Live TV and VOD (Video On Demand) sections. Beginning with the Live TV section, you will be able to navigate a channel guide sorted into categories, primarily by language. If you wish to browse a traditional TV guide, you can press the EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) button. Here, you will be able to browse your channels as you would on your cable or satellite TV box, by channel number and time slot. If you wish to be made aware of when your favorite shows are on, you can cycle through the guide and set a reminder, using the Red button.

Some models have PVR capabilities, however, and they will use that button to program a record instead, as a PVR. Using the Menu button, you can access the PVR. With a capable device, it will appear in the pop-up menu, below Live TV, VOD and EPG. Selecting this will bring you to the My PVR menu, where you can access your Recordings, Scheduled Recordings (which you normally set by using the Red button as mentioned), Manually Schedule (where you can set specific time frames as flexible as you desire instead of the preset time slots), and Storage (where you can monitor the free space left on your external devices.

However, if you already know which channel you want to watch, you simply need to remain in the Live TV menu and use the search bar at the top of the categories. If you find that you have channels you are regularly returning to, and you wish to navigate quicker, you can simply use the Yellow button as indicated in the legend at the bottom of the screen in order to add them to your Favorites, which will show up as a separate folder near the top of the sidebar

The default Live TV/IPTV section


The VOD section is where you'll find streaming shows and movies, including many new releases. This selection is sorted by genre, though you can search by title if you know what you are looking for. As with the Live TV section, you can add anything you desire to the your Favorites for your convenience. The earliest season of a show available on BuzzTV will show up with three stars (***) to the left of the title. Though the New Releases and All Movies categories are a mix of movies and shows, you can find the TV Series category to browse only shows. When search for something to watch in VOD, understand that there is a slight delay in presenting the information on the right side, as it downloads the image, text, and other data for the program. There may be a problem if you are on a fast internet connection and this takes longer longer than 15 seconds.


The Video On Demand (VOD) section, where you can watch popular movies and shows

Additional notes regarding the functions of the controller to make life easier:
If you find there is too much to browse through, simply use the Page Down and Page Up keys (at the bottom of the control, denoted "Pg" with an arrow down or upward) to jump 10 selections at a time. But your BuzzTV remote also has other powers. The colored buttons in particular are matched to the legend at the bottom of the screen, which describes their function. As previously mentioned, in the Live TV and VOD section, the yellow button will add your current selection to the Favorites (the Favorites from those two sections are not connected). Another function is the Red button, which can lock the whole category in VOD, or can lock categories or individual channels in Live TV. This can help to make sure younger children don't find themselves watching mature contents unsupervised. As an important note, when you lock these categories, if you have not configured the password, by default it will be 0000. Additionally, using the light-grey Menu button will bring up other functions, such as Parental Control, if necessary. The Green button will not be available in VOD, but can be used to sort the categories in Live TV. VOD has two sorting methods to choose from at the top of the sidebar.

Now, we'll talk about the sections outside of VOD, Live TV, and EPG. Your Apps sit on the Home page, with the favorited ones found on the bar below the main selections. You can put whichever ones you desire down there for easy access using the "ADD" option to the right of your apps on the bar. To get more apps to choose from, you have three main choices. The Market is an app store tailored to the BuzzTV setup, working seamlessly with the remote. Your second option, the Google Play Store, although the traditional app store for Android devices, isn't adapted for BuzzTV. Lastly, you can install apps from packages without using an app store by using "AppInstaller" which can install APK files on your system. If you're not familiar with those, don't fret. The Market is very accessible and should be your go-to. If any app is not adapted for use with the BuzzTV remote, don't hesitate to turn on the cursor with the Mouse button. However, games are not advised on this system unless you have a dedicated gamepad and are using a compatible game for it. Then, in the Settings, you have a different menu, as you observed when you connected online at the beginning.

our other options, besides WiFi, are Server, LAN, Date & Time, Display, Language, Update, and More. Server is used to connect your BuzzTV to get your shows according to your subscription. LAN leads to the same screen as WiFi, and refers to the method of connecting with an Ethernet cable. The next three (3) are as the titles describe, allowing you to tweak date, the screen resultion, and the language of the on-screen text. Set how your BuzzTV updates with new versions and fixes in the Update selection. Finally, More has several additional in-depth settings packed together. It is not advised for the average user to wander through here.
