With all the buzz around the buzz3000 I gave it a shot. It’s a 2gb xpl3000 buzz 2018 edition.
Set it up was easy enough.
Guide was a nice look and options easy to get to.
Basically a android box with its own Iptv app . Livetv has search function lets u find channels. The guide interface looks really slick nice lots info and vod sections show episodes as list. Got a nice looking epg grid also. Those seem to be the things that set it apart from mag/stbemu.
I guess it’s a good box to get if u don’t already got a android box And gonna do Iptv.
I already got android boxes and after a Few days using I’m struggling to like it over stbemu or mag.
First thing is if u got Mac u using on multiple different mag or stbemu boxes it will lock to buzz I’m assuming buzz must send device Id cause I tried cloning serial number too but no go, not able to go back to another mag/stbemu.
Next it’s kinda slow not as responsive as mag/stbemu and channel list and info must loadad on every start and lil lag every time u change channel wait for channel info to display correct. I have used the cleanup brush option and also clean cache in settings for buzz app that didn’t help . And as for loading on start for livetv when u switch to videoclub/vod same thing it loads and authenticates. If u want radio section I didn’t see it on buzz.
Also remote u gotta have pointed at box not huge issue but thought I’d mention it.
If u select favorite channels when u go to view them u can only sort them via number or by name. No way to move channels around manually and group them like u can in stbem/mag. Makes for a messy list on buzz.
If u go to timeshift it works but seeks ff rew really slow. And when u kick outta timeshift it kicks u back to livetv not list of day u where last looking at so u gotta go back that day all over again.
Also with timeshift it’s not clear like on mag/stbemu how far back rec goes. Red lil rec icon on mag/stbemu
In simple view When u are looking at catigory livetv like English or favorites or sports ect and viewing channels there’s no indication on screen telling u what category you are in.
Also when u viewing a channel in preview window and browsing other avail channels there’s no idication what channel is showing in preview window if u forget.
If u have adult section livetv it will not have password default set. On mags/stbemu many portal have it set to something those boxes will default to that. On buzz it didn’t see that think it was 0000 or not even set. Also even after it’s set u can still view channel names on in adult catigory which can/May be very descriptive.
So far that’s everything I can remember last few days of testing it. I understand they update fw now and then maybe they can take these issues into consideration.
And
Also forgot to add that if u are watching in favorites catigory sometimes if u do catchup and kick back to livetv go back to catigory it will revert back to whatever catigory that channel belongs to like English or sports ect..
