If I do a Force Stop and clear the cache, it runs again, but only for 30 seconds prior to crashing.
As a troubleshooting measure, I installed the BuzzTV 1.6 (108), which runs absolutely fine. If I try to force a different build of 2.0 on top of build 247, it comes back as a corrupt APK. I know that's not the case as I can install it just fine on other Android devices.
As for now, I am more than satisfied with running BuzzTV 1.6 as it doesn't look any different from 2.0. The remote works as well, so even better.
So saying that only a fool would try to fix it themselves, is a red herring. I believe in thinking outside the box. You should try it some time. Many fixes for Android devices come from third party developers that got fed up with a manufacturers' crappy ROM's. S90x and S912 boxes are modded all the time with better ROM's such as atvXperience.
So again, like many other users have said on this about compared to three website locals - Buzz crapped the bed big time.
