They are one and the same. Pressing home screen in buzz 5 takes you to the buzz 6 home screen
I have the L1 Linux and it does not go to the Home screen when I press the home button.
mine does and always hasQuote:

This is a Linux box. Not an android box.
There is NO app store.. It's integrated IPTV app only.
This is an L1, not P6. There is no Buzz TV 5 on the L1 as far as I know :)Quote:

Thank you for all the information. Will have to config the VPN. The Ver I have is V1.0.167
1.0.67 is the latest public version for the L1, which was released about a month ago.Quote:

Do I use my own VPN I pay for or is there one in the program for the Box
No subscriptions are included with the box.Quote:

I use ipvanish and went to their site to get the openvpn config for linuxQuote:

so when I open openvpn I loaded each location seperately
Thanks for the information
Anyone else having a problem getting a VPN running on A1 6

VPN working fine here with Windscribe on the L1.
FYI, the latest update which was released last week also fixes some of the UI issues. So now it works quite well.
PS: Keep in mind that on some providers (like Windscribe), when you create an OPENVPN config file, it also generates a new username/password for you (often a button on the page to reveal it). Username/password is not always the same as the username/password you would use to log into the windows/android client.
example:

Each provider will be slightly different.
Have not been able to get mine loaded and running
Have you taken the latest update which was pushed lashed week ?Quote:

you put the config file on a stickQuote:

All like DU said.
BTW: I did have an issue with a few USB sticks. When you go to select the config file from the dropdown, it should bring up the USB stick so you can select it before seeing the files. I use a pile of different sticks and I did have 2 of my dozen or so sticks that were not recognized. I did not check to see the reason it was not (filesystem type, etc..). So if you do not see your USB stick device, try a different usb stick.
