    Default Buzztv startup

    Hi !
    I was thinking of getting a buzztv for my older parents.
    Just wondering if the buzz is the same on startup as my formuler z7+ as when you power on the box it goes straight to TV.
    No app to click. Sort of a shortcut to live tv. That is easier for my parents .
    Thanks !

    It has a live tv and vod button on remote which will go to tv.But that is easy part you will have to show them categories.

    Thanks guys !
    The formuler is great that way as when you startup it brings you straight to TV and last channel you were watching.
    No clicking on any apps and then just use guide to choose channel. Very user friendly similar to cable .
    Way easier for older users.
    Might get the buzztv xpl3900 and if they don't like it, I will have to keep it :-)

    you cant say its way easier unless you have tried one.
    I have some elderly users who have no trouble pushing one button It also goes to last channel
    One issue about going straight to tv is those who dont have unlimited internet

    Your right, gonna get one for them to try .
    I am guessing the xpl3000 is easier than the xpl3900 due to remote .
    They won't need the fancier keyboard remote.
    Also you need the TV remote to open TV or can the buzz remote emulate TV remote to open TV ?
    Thanks again !
