Ha ha just the box it came in very impressive packed very well, it's a little bit bigger than the others, but has a lot more power and faster than the others.
lots of different options, very nice Box!
Thanks Team Buzz

I have a Shield Pro and put it in the den last night. My Shield runs Tivimate also. I got y Buzz 4900 yesterday and after setting it up without a single problem I decided this will stay in our living room. My wife LOVES it....thank god lol.
I put Tivimate on it as well as Kodi with the Doomsday Aspire build and IpVanish and I am going to say the Buzz is faster then my shield. You can use Tivimate or the BuzzTv App which works very well. With the click of a button you can change servers seemlessly or watch a PVR recoding or watch VOD etc etc. I also recorded a show last night to see how that worked and it was also flawless. I even hooked up a wireless Keyboard/mouse to the Buzz4900 and that also worked with out a single problem. So far I can not speak high enough about the Buzz4900. I haven't had it freeze or crash with all the crap I installed on it yesterday lol. The remote is a very good size as well and the backlit buttons are pretty cool. I really believe that Buzz has made a box that can contend with the Nvidia Shield only I find the Buzz4900 smoother to operate. One other thing....I find the picture extremely clear as well as the sound.

This option would have taken it over the top (even though it is pretty much there) :thumbsup:

But like dishuser said, buzztv2 was the last one to have that option. I keep hoping it will be enabled again but I don't think it will ever happen (I could always be wrong) :)

For now, when I need to test with other MAC, I just load up STBEmu (no comparison in terms of interface - but it serves the purpose).

I wondered the same about the sticky foam pads and I ended up with the conclusion that they are for the SSHD for when you install it although not certain.

So does anyone have any idea if the lit up buzz logo on the front of the box always stays on? Mine does regardless if it is powered on or not.

lol mine complained about the brightness of the light also but she loves how clear the picture is. I recorded a show the other night for her to watch yesterday and she said she couldn't believe how nice the fast forward and rewind worked. I have an SSHD coming in next week and will be putting that in :)

New and Improved UI with New Themes. Choose from 6 Themes, Including Dark Modes.
