Has anyone here used this box?
Wondering how the ota atsc tuner works, and looking for a player that is capable of time shift.
I use a Buzz 4500 which I like but does neither of these added features. Thanks

atsc was supported with the stick and timeshift is working in the buzz 5 betaQuote:

Took the update. Can't get my box off of buzztv5 screen.
Should have known better.
The comment should have said expect bricked box
Update
Several hard power resets and no factory reset available. This update was an instant kill to my 200 dollar buzz 4500 on Christmas. Followed instructions went to ota update entered 2015 now my box is fked
Merry christmas
what version of buzz tv is on now?
No idea what a hard power reset is.
If you did a hard reset which involves using a pin it brings up the android recovery screen. Factory set is on that menu
If the menu didnt come up you were doing it wrong
Finally got to reset by removing power and pressing pin on startup. Had to wipe box clean starting all over. Hope it's worth all this
Guess you didn't think to use backup/restoreQuote:

Quite obvious btv let's users be the guinea pig to see what fiasco their wonderful dev can bring us. Every update is something, this one being the worst.
it said there are bugs and update at own riskQuote:

You are absolutely correct. As I stated above I should've known better. Judging by the track record of bugs even in official updates from a team that obviously releases these updates with little or any debugging I should have avoided at all cost.Quote:

obvious? What is obvious is you dont know the purpose of backup/restore. It is not to revert back It is backup all your settings favs etc so if there is an issue you can restore your settingsQuote:

The drive seems to be corrupted
Followed instructions even checking to be sure the file was same date. Waited for install, on reboot box would stay at the buzztv 5 screen.
Nothing would work on rescue screen except factory reset.
Only 2 apps I added to box
Ipvanish
Vod room
I do not use this box for anything else
