Not Impressed

[tubbs]

Okay, I'm not impressed.

I spent $160 bucks on this $4500 Max and to me, it's pretty much a joke.

I had to put the MaxTV app on it to make it work.It wouldn't work with the default buzz TV XCIP file routine.

The second thing, I think is the remote is lackluster at best.
In order for me to do anything with this damn box, I had to have a keyboard and a mouse hooked up to it 24/7.

I'm glad I bought this damn thing from Amazon so I can send it back.

Thanks to everybody that tried to help, but I'm going back to my mag boxes.

Maybe they don't have all the bells and whistles but they are pretty straightforward and easy to use.--

your post makes it obvious you dont have a clue what you are doing!!!

[dishuser]

what help?
you never answered any questions

[sat9182]

buzztv boxes are some of the best

not to mention the support
have a problem email then they actually look into it
try to find other box providers that return emails and fix issues, good luck

one of the easiest boxes to set up
plug it in
select language
select timezone
resolution
screen size (zoom)
set up WiFi or hard wire
let update

then go to live tv

choose
mac server for mac
or xc api login for user pass
or m3u

dont get much simpler then that


they make it so user friendly

Taking a look at a bunch posts you made on this forum it is clear you are a freak. If you have no idea how to use something a normal person would admit they don't know how to. They don't come out and act like a freak.

If you can't operate the most user friendly android TV unit out there then you are unique, but on the negative side

I'm guessing they put url under portal name :innocent:

I was a mag user for many years, use to upgrade bla bla bla but goin feom a mag 250 to a higher model aint upgrading, going from a mag to a buzz thats an upgrade !
I bought the xrs4500 and loved it, most user friendly box with all the extras was amazing then i went to the 4900 and that was WOW what a move…very happy and got all my friends to do the same …
Buzz is the way to go and here the guys help with any issue … hope u dont quit on the buzz

Tubbs you have been at this for awhile, so what’s really going on

[The Noof]

There's no question that the Buzz team set the bar.They make the best iptv hardware you can buy, with support second to none.NO box is perfect, but Buzz gets closer with each new model.Frustration with your own lack of knowledge is getting the best of you.You don't need to do anything more than ask for help at this forum, & it will be there.The help ethic here is amazing.

If you need some help getting her up in running let me know .. i have two xr4500's .



here's the setup instructions c/p crazed 9.6

BuzzTV XR4500 XRS4500 - some setup instruction
Once you power-up the 4500 for the first time, it will want you to pair the Bluetooth Remote (BT-100)
Follow the on-screen directions to pair your Bluetooth RCU.
Directions are also included in the User Manual and also can be seen on the back of the RCU

The RCU will stay in IR mode if for some reason the Pairing was not successful. If the Pairing does not seem to be going to work, you can press the Back button to exit the Pairing process and then your RCU will work in IR mode from here on in till you later re-try to Pair it.

To at some time later, check if the Pairing did or did not work...
Open Settings > Remotes & Accessory .. next you will see either one or two options.
Add Accessory & BuzzTV BT-100
If the BuzzTV BT-100 option is not shown there, then it did not Pair successfully.
But if you do see the BT-100 option shown there, then your BT-100 did Pair successfully.

You can also elect to un-Pair the BT-100 here as well.
And at anytime Pair it back here as well, thru 'Add Accessory' option.

After you go thru the 'initial' Pairing process or elect to stay with IR ...
-Select Language by Country
-Timezone
-Resolution
-Screen Size
-Configure Network (enter WiFi Setup or connect an Ethernet line).

After Network has been connected, there will be a message onscreen indicating it is looking for new Updates.
These Updates will be a BuzzTV4 update(s) and/or BuzzTV Firmware update(s). So let the updates proceed.

Next thing we may want to is connect to our Server if elected to have one.
Launcher screen > Server Settings > Sever Line > Add Server.

Enter thru the onscreen Keyboard (KB) a favorite name to name your Portal. It can be any name you want, keep it short and sweet.
After the name has been entered, either press the Back button on your RCU and scroll down to the next slot and then press enter again to bring up the KB.
Or that blueish greenish colored key on the KB brings you to the next slot as well.
The Portal URL is next to be entered and you will notice that the BuzzTV4 app already has the http:// prefix entered for you, so follow that up with your server URL.
Next we would leave the User Credentials box un-checked and scroll down to Connect, but do not press on it yet.
First thing we need to do is visit the Server website and log onto your code and enter the MAC ID onto your code.
The MAC ID you want is shown as 'Server ID' and is seen in the top right hand corner of that same onscreen Server setup menu.
There will be two MAC Addresses/IDs shown there.
Top one is shown as the MAC Address and bottom one is shown as the Server ID
The one to add to the server is the Server ID
You will notice that both of those end with the same 6 digits , while the first 6 digits are different.
The Server ID starts with 00:1a:79 and is the correct one you want to attach to your code at the website.
Once that is attached, then select the Connect option on that onscreen menu.
Add multiple servers if wanted.

If it does not connect by using the Connect option found there in that server menu, then use the Home button on your remote and that will take you to the Home Launcher screen. Then use the LiveTV or VOD option and then it should connect (assuming everything else is correct).

There are two other ways to Add and connect to a server, which makes 3 in total seen in this Server Settings menu.
-Add Server --discussed above. Add multiple servers if wanted.
-Add Streaming Line --add credentials to link to a subscribed streaming service. Add multiple servers if wanted.
-Add M3U Playlist -- add .m3u playlist or connect to server thru a Playlist portal. Add multiple servers if wanted.

While still in the Server Settings, select the Menu button on the RCU and a side-bar Personal Settings menu will appear.
Here you can see a few things.
BuzzTV4 app version and date of that version update will be seen here.
Look at the very bottom and it will show something like --> Version 4.0.437 Updated:03/19/2020
Also in the Configuration sub-menu can be seen the Video Player option (for VOD) and a 'Start on Boot' option.

Your Launcher screen can be accessed by exiting LiveTV either by the Exit button seen in that side-bar menu or the Home button on the RCU
The Home screen is the Launcher screen.
The LiveTV EPG Guide access button is seen there on the RCU beside the Home button as well.
The VOD access can be done thru Launcher screen or thru the VOD RCU button.

Press the Back button twice will exit VOD and back to LiveTV and press Back button twice again and will be taken to the Launcher screen.


c/p end .




I really would like to see your 4500 up n running properly before you send it back ;)

Thanks nobody, maybe this should be a sticky? I ordered one of these because of the satfix2021 promotion and don’t know how to program it yet. And I haven’t found a simple step-by-step. Thank you, gonna try this. :thumbsup:
