New Buzz TV Boxes - XR/XRS 4500

[Zorro]

Looks like certain boxes using the Amlogic S905X3 are running Android 10. This means that Amlogic may release its sources for Android 10 soon, allowing Buzz Team to work on Android 10 and (hopefully) push out an update OTA to deliver Android 10 to these XR/XRS 4500 boxes.

To clarify: The boxes I linked to that are running Android 10 are not IPTV boxes. Rather they are set top boxes licensed to broadcast and pay tv operators. However it is relevant to the discussion because it means that Amlogic's (currently unreleased) Android 10 sources for the S905X3 are probably stable.

Android 10 SDK is still pre release from Amlogic, and was only given as Android TV SDK, not AOSP.
It still needs a lot of work

It took 4 SDK updates from Amlogic before Android 9 became stable.
They're on their 6th SDK version now 01-17-20, for Android 9.


Plus what is the reason for wanting Android 10?
As I have not seen any added benefits listed for Android 10 from Google that would benefit a TV Box.

I think so
I found my 3900 has a better pic than my xr 4000
and the xrs 4500 is better than the 3900

I was going to chance it but they were saying whiteout conditions so wasn't worth the drive for me.

Gonna head there Monday for some boxes though.

My findings after 2 days of use:
Pro-great picture,probably the best Iv'e seen on an IPTV box
-all functions VERY fast
-excellent GUI
-FINALLY fixed the pvr button.It actualy controls pvr function(on my 3900, pressing the pvr button makes my neighbors car horn honk)

Con-I can't get any version of Netflix or Amazon Prime Video to link/ work
-Unit freezes periodically, losing remote control functions
-I hate the fixed mac addy design
-the off status on the power led is brighter than an aircraft landing light.
That's it so far.
