The 4900 is great, but I understand it may be a lot more than some people are willing to spend.
The xrs4500 is a great mid point.
But if that is also too expensive, then the Essentials E2 (not the older E1), is a great entry point for a solid box. It is essentially the same as an xrs4500, except there is no bluetooth remote, and less memory. But, it has same CPU and also running the buzztv4 app (and will be updated to buzztv5 eventually).
And with buzz box, the buzzTV applications, makes using a 3rd party app, completely redundant, and not needed in most cases. And the app is so much better than anything out there (including tivimate, which is the best for most generic boxes).
Nut honestly, I don't see the relation between his phone and his box. Unless he is running a torrent client on his phone and downloading at full speed, I don't see what the phone can doing to kill the box.
Did he by any chance do something stupid like manually override the MAC address on his phone to emulate the MAC on his T95 box, in order to try to get his single subscription on box his box and his phone ? Either way, the MAC is emulated on all these in one form or another, since the physical MAC is not really what is used.
If he uses any other wireless device in his home (tablet, laptop, PC, someone else's phone, etc..) does he experience the same issues ? Or just with his phone ?
