Just opened the shipping box. :yeaah: They sent me a X5 AI 128GB at no extra cost. :yeaah:
Okay started up my box today. Could not connect to wi-fi so I used cable to get started. I am now stuck on Server Settings screen with "Preparing to install applications...". Has been here for approximately 20 minutes. What is going on?
Hold power button down and rebootQuote:

All updates were completed. Now to try and figure out why I cannot get the wiifi to connect.

Do I need to download a player to access IPTV?
No...the buzztv5 app has a player installed.
I do see a lot of IPTV providers tell you to download a certain player. The BuzzTV player will work with those providers? I have sent them this question but have not heard back yet.Quote:

Hiding the url from open forums is the whole point to protect it from being compromised.(no VPN needed) P.M ing or emailing the url is allowed. And not all apps are smarters or crappy. I have paid playstore apps that have the url hard coded to make activation easy for everyone, just enter user/pass. I dont like giving urls out for trials. I give an app, much easier then trying to figure out someones tech talents. Got off subject here, sorry.Quote:

I never said to post URL publicly. URL should only be communicated in PM for many reasons (which we won't get into).Quote:

If the app can provide that for a trial, then great. But would hate to be locked into a specific app, if someone decides to buy a sub. Would make buying a dedicated IPTV box a completely moot point, if you cannot use their software (BuzzTV, Formuler, etc..).
