Buzztv box XPL3000

[sarkar]

As this new box has been released,any experience with box would be appreciated.

[NBS]

do you see any dealers selling it?

[kens]

I just set up a Buzztv box XPL2000.
If the XPL3000 is a step up, it is a great box.

The 2000 Performance is excellent.
/kens

[floder2]

xpl3000 shipments are coming in small quantities and selling mainly in Canada right now. we dont have official launch date in the US since inventory is the problem.

Key Upgrades:
-New Processor
-Android 6.0 OS
-HDMI 2.0
-HDR Technology
-Enhanced PVR (OTA update in October 2017)
-External Wi-Fi Antenna for Better Range
-Supports ATSC Digital TV Tuner (Requires A681 Stick)


pricing will be similar or same as xpl2000

we will continue to support xpl 1000 and xpl 2000 to make sure there running optimal. Some new features will only be available on new models.

thank you

[NBS]

is that a c and p?

How would A681 tv tuner work with this box? Would it require any thing else?
Which new CPU is being used in this box?

A681 tv tuner would plug into the usb port on the box..........the tuner will give you all your local over the air channels

not sure what cpu they are using,,,but it does say that it will be an upgrade from the XPL 2000 cpu..........

[floder2]

Buzztv xpl 3000 cpu Amlogic S905X
Buzztv xpl 2000 cpu Amlogic S905

The difference is that S905X has Android 6.0........H265 4K ...VP9 4k....HDR ...SPDIF
The S905 has android 5.1 ...H265 4K (NO VP9 4K) (NO HDR or SPDIF)

[divo77]

Thanks for the info floder2.
How would you compare the new Buzz xpl3000 to the Dreamlink T1 plus? I know the xpl2000 had 1gb more memory that the dreamlink.

[Munstah]

I managed to get some and did some testing tonight. So far it is a step up from the 2000.

if administration and staff had some test models, these buzz forums may increase in guides and etc.. or just may fall by the way side.

dues are dues....administration opened a forum for Buzz
and that took me some doing, if yous remember.

We can not moderate if we know nothing of the product.

just sayin :eek:

agreed.. if any buzz affiliates are monitoring it would be a good idea to do so. Might be a good promotional tool.

Welp might as well close this one too then..if your gonna commit then commit.

[crazed 9.6]

Buzz posts are okay in this section (other android receivers)
Back where they started.
Again guys I do applogize for this but if we do not do this then where does it stop...
The dreamlink or Global or Mag or Avov box makers and sales (or many other box makers) would not be impressed with us if we give a free ride to one while all the others (them) all show support for what we give them in return (we give them sales thru our support with posted guides and etc.. We can not do that if we know nothing first hand about these boxes)

[ASIMO]

So your saying because staff didn't get free boxes there is no more forum for Buzz?

No one should listen to staff here that say Dreamlink is the best or Avov is the best etc.
Look what happen to Avov. Staff pushed those and now there all junk. Cant comment on the newer ones from Avov but the older ones yes staff here upped those now everyone that has them are stuck with crappy boxes.

So because staff don't get a free box they close a forum.
Not hard to see what goes on here.

[catz]

Please reread the last post made by Ceazed, just don't think you understand what he said. Not having a receiver ties your hands on being able to talk(suppot) about that receiver.

I think the section in question was well handled by those who owned the units and they had all the relevant info to assist anyone. From my readings, they needed no guides and the unit is one of the easiest and best to use, it is just that good.

Also, the guys that owned these units could create their own guides, don't see the difference in a regular member or staff making a guide. I'm just being fair to the argument here and really, the section operated so smooth there was nothing to moderate, all the members that contributed to that section are super super super cool and kind, it was as if these guys lived in the same neighborhood.

I understand there are other brands that give free units to have a section here but if you can't achieve that with a particular brand, there is no reason to make all the threads and posts about disappear. Simply close all the threads, or from an admin level deny all permissions to post in the section. I have administrator experience and I know it can be done.

It's sad but if that is how it is here then it must be respected.

[duhhud]

i think the point crazed 2.0 is making, is that they are not charging these guy that have THEIR own Threads any thing for advertising or maintain thread by keeping it running clean and smooth so they give them a few boxes play with and learn about so they can help other member here when they have issues with the box.and it is advertising for them (i no of two people that have bought boxes because of buzztv thread)IMO a few boxes for these guy to play with is a small price to pay for the advertising they are getting with their own thread.And if they dont want to have there own thread there is always this thread that can be used.all it takes is one of the guys on here that resales the buzztv to talk to the guys they get them from and they talk to the main supplier and i think they would jump a the opportunity...this is just my opinion

[Munstah]

Crazed also said that it is fine to discuss in threads under "other" where we are discussing this right now. It is, however, unfortunate that the main thread was closed down as it had quite a bit of reference material for the novice user. In future they will just have to refer to the other section is all. I think it's fair and see no problem with it personally.

[crazed 9.6]

I am still in hopes that the Buzz team will come thru and offer even one sample box to one of our staff, even one box is fine. And the box will not be coming to me either, it will go to another staff member...
We do need to have first hand access to any supported box on this site guys.
That is not all either. There are many points to all this. I had posted on that Buzz closed thread last night about this very thing.

And yes guys I did like the Buzz forum and how it was going .. one thing I saw in there thou were many comments about how great the box is. well that draws buyers. Them buyers happen to be on a website that Tinie and NFPS run and pay for.
And what about the many other box makers that have shown support for the site... what do you think they will think about all this when they find out that other box makers get special treatment (their own sub-forum) and never showed any support to the site at all.

Dreamlink is our main supported box, yes... and yes they have sent many, many sample boxes to the site administration.
So has avov, Mag, CNX, nFusion, Global, Dreamlink, Dreambox, Mega3000, and the list goes on.
Everytime Dreamlink put out a new box, IKS or IPTV, at least half a dozen are sent as test samples...We would be spitting in their faces if we let another box share in the front page without a bit of shown support to the site here. ANd yes that means to give us the means to have a first hand look at these boxes... for many reasons.
I have said all this before.


Anyway guys, I do hope things change but no matter how you feel about this, my mind will not change on this matter.
Like I said, there are many points to this situation.
And when we put up the Buzz forum it was my understanding that a box or two would end up in administrations hands, is mainly why the forum went up :eek:


ohh and I guess members may not be able to see my last post in that Buzz forum. I copied and pasted it below...

okay guys, I have had a couple private messages asking why this has happened and is this about getting freebies only.
Below is a copy of the reply I sent back...

it is not about getting freebies. It is about this site supporting buzz box but have no way in testing the box for ourselves. We need to know what this box is all about first hand, I do not know what the box has to offer in ways of services and for all I know they have an online server of their own and are privatly drawing away our clients (That is not what I believe here, but I use it as an example of what we need to know first hand.... but I am not about to go out and pay for one of these boxes just so I can better know the box and what we are supporting with a sub forum here at iptvTalk.
Buzz support should realize this and should have done something about it. If they want our free advertising of which they are getting sales from said free advertising, then they need to support this site even in a small way.

Like I said my freind, they should have realized this.
And I was told that there would be sample boxes or even one box for one of the staff here, but that was forgotten once I had put up the Buzz forum...
All other boxes have done this and you mentioned dreamlink, well they do it everytime they put out a new model.
They have seen their sales rise due to the fact that we support them, and they have realized a good thing when they see it. With every new dreamlink model at least a couple staff get sent a sample box, everytime since years ago. We as a sponsered NFPS support site need that first hand look at what we are supporting when it comes to receivers.
And other boxes also do this for return of support. Global, Dreamlink, Avov , Mag, Jynx, Mygica, and even the Nivida sent a sample box to our since retired administrator.. to name a few that show their support to this forum. I do not think that they would be impressed if they knew that Buzz has the same support (resulting in sales) but did nothing in return of that said support. Not fair to the others at all :(

[Maestro701]

Mygica is the buzz.....

[floder2]

Mygica is the buzz.....

BuzzTV is made by the same manufacturer "Geniatech" as MyGiga boxes
But they are 2 separate companies.

[Munstah]

cool.. anyhow, just saw update on XPL3000 that added tuner support (DTV player app), buzz boot video (audio too loud IMO) and fixed the channel recall button. that button no longer launches netflix. I checked my buzz xpl2000 and no update has been pushed to that as model yet.

[Maestro701]

Well, they are two other forums that have the buzz section so.........

[Munstah]

a not so good finding with this latest update. While fixing the channel recall buttton netflix launch issue on buzz remote, they have accidentally messed up mouse pointer functionality on mx3 airmouse aftermarket remote which is a fairly popular device. You basically cannot use your airmouse correctly as now the toggle button will launch netflix.

Again this affects the MX3 airmouse remote. Minix A2 and A3 lite don't seem to be affected at all.

[gsmitty22]

I just hooked up an XPL3000 and I get the ACEIPTV channel menu but no channels. Something is different from XPL2000. You'd think it would be improved but it won't fully connect with ACE. I contacted ACE and everything is good on their end so basically a sit and wait situation or a waste of money.

You know.....................you jump to conclusions so quickly....No patience .......no perseverance............Can you go without a smartphone ...a computer and a television for 1 week ......with only books to occupy your mind ???

[Munstah]

Lol ace sucks.. maybe they did you a favour :) word of advice, Don't buy a brand new release box expecting everything to be perfect right away. Will never happen

[Maestro701]

To put ACE on a buzz is a disrespectful lol

[floder2]

Anyone get the Buzz 3000 box and figure out how to use the ATSC Digital TV Tuner (Requires A681 Stick) .........I have the box and set it up ...took the updates.......I have the ATSC Tuner....plugs into the usb port .........But the box does not show any recognition of the device ..................Is there an app that needs to be downloaded to interface with the turner or what..........Anyone know ?

If you took the latest Firmware update

Their is a new app installed onto the box called DTV Player
Currently this is how you can use the A681 Tuner

Eventually you will be able to view these channels in the Buzz App, but for now it is just the DTV Player.

[floder2]

Is the new firmware dated ( 09-27-2017 ) if so The box installed that update.........but I do not see the DTV Player in the App Folder

[buzztest]

Is the new firmware dated ( 09-27-2017 ) if so The box installed that update.........but I do not see the DTV Player in the App Folder

Yes that is the Firmware
Have you rebooted the box since you took the update?

[floder2]

yes a couple of times..............

[Munstah]

what's strange is that I had the DTV tuner app when I first set the box up for testing. Just checked now and it's no longer there.

That bites! I rely heavily on my MX3 airmouse remote. How do i prevent the update from going through on my box? Silly they would solve one problem by creating another.

[Jagstyles]

@Munstah

Clear your PM inbox - trying to send you a PM but says your inbox/capacity is full.

Thx

I don't think it was accidental. They are affiliated with mygica and so was recommended to buy the mygica kr301 remote which is basically just a mygica branded and coded version of mx3 airmouse. I'll just stick with my minix A3 lite.

Strangely enough, I also have the MyGica KR301 remote but preferred the MX3 because it has the programmable buttons. Not sure why they would remove that functionality from the MyGica KR301.

Agreed they get plenty of business from here and should send one out to one of you guys period! It's ridiculous that it's even had to be brought up in the first place. The reason I got one was reading all the good stuff posted on this board and I'm sure others did as well. For what it cost them they can afford to send one out to you guys just like every other manufacturer. The amount of box sales they will get and do get more than cover one box! It's nice to be able to read reviews from mods here on the boxes available out there. I really hope they listen and send one out to one of you guys so you can put the main forum back up again!!

Okay, but nothing wasn't said about they contacting the buzz folks and putting their case to them and getting denied. If that was the case then sure, removing the section is fine. Theses things should be worked out behind the scenes and not brought out into the forum. If the guys here get one, fine, if not then close the section and say we had to close due to unforeseen circumstances or something to that effect.

But contact the guys and work something out behind the scenes, how else would they know what you want or what's going on.

[pod77]

I would have to think they know that this forum has a section on them as in one of the earlier post a member was contacting them mentioned it. So hopefully they send one out so we can get the subforum back as I'm interested in the new box that came out not to long ago... I can't find the post but one member was going back and forth and mentioned the firum here. So just good business is sending a test unit and you get all sorts of free advertising. Like every other box maker here that likes to have there boxes supported and again free advertising.! Why would they even need to ask, this is a huge forum with a lot of members just seems like common sense. Hopefully it all gets worked out because its a great box!

[pod77]

Any sellers yet of the new box yet. Send me a pm I'm interested in getting one. Thx all!!

[floder2]

Only seller I can find are from Canada ................. they want $136.00 to $155.00 dollars including shipping....May have to wait until the company releases to the USA....Think there is a short supply right now ...thats why the price is high..in my opinion .........................

Please tell me those price quotes were in CAD and not USD. Average going rate right now on xpl3000 is about $130-$140 CAD

[NBS]

worldwidesats has them for 99 US

[floder2]

worldwidesats has them for 99 US

Orders over $99 get Free Shipping in North America

[Maestro701]

worldwidesats has them for 99 US

It's true, from the time the new unit was released it always this price.

[samshah]

Those who received their boxes, can you please share with us GUI and performance of your box? thanks

[floder2]

It's about the same as the buzztv 2000 except for a faster processor and an update we are waiting for to have the PVR working..and also the integration of ATSC Digital TV Tuner with the Live-Tv instead of a stand alone app...
Coming soon they say................

[Munstah]

same GUI for now.. rather large update is supposed to hit the xpl2000 and 3000 sometime over the next few weeks. Upgraded processor in the 3000 is noticeably faster especially within kodi. The 3000 is currently running a newer build of the buzz tv app which eliminates the iptv menu glitches experienced with certain providers.

Coming soon they say................

FYI the processor is the same speed. 1.5Ghz I believe (the 2.0 Ghz claim was a flat lie from Amlogic) Only s905(x) device that can be ran faster than 1.5 is the Odroid C2 (over clocked). I own many s905 and s905x devices. The s905 devices are definitely a bit quicker but the s905x has the advantage of VP9 - the other "upgrades" other than Marshmallow are pretty tiny. If you don't need Marshmallow or VP9, I personally don't see the point yet.

One thing I hated about s905x was being limited to 10/100 Ethernet. Some s905 had gigabit but can't remember if the Buzz did. If you need more than 100, a good chipset USB3 Ethernet adapter might get you faster speeds (depending how its wired).

Upgrades are good tho, I'm just having a hard time justifying this purchase to anyone that already own a Buzz 2000.






***For those of you who can't use your remote control - MX3***

Try installing this and remapping your buttons

[Munstah]

Thanks for the info as always veronicas. Processor may be rated at the same 1.5 Ghz but there is definitely a difference between the two (or perhaps some other optimization in play). I would agree that if you own an XPL2000 and don't care about PVR ability it makes no sense to upgrade at the moment. The version of buzz tv app running on the 3000 I'm sure will be pushed to the 2000 in next update. However, if looking for a second device why not grab the 3000 as it is the same price. Also the xpl2000 will disappear once stock dries up. As I understand it the new model was more about manufacturing costs than true upgrade. Still limited to 10/100 ethernet and wifi performance increase is marginal at best.

I attempted mapping with that app you referenced, however, the mouse pointer button didn't register as an input. Will check it out again later this evening when I have some time.

Thanks again

Hopefully the buzz tv app update rolls down to the 2000 box soon, the glitch with some providers is annoying me to no end.

1 x BuzzTV XPL 3000 Android IPTV OTT set-top HD 4K TV Box (Onyx Black) (xpl3000) = $99.99USD delivered to usa.

There's a guy on ebay selling a 2000 for $237.00 US

Has to be nuts!

[crazy carl]

Fully loaded kok

[floder2]

Wonder what ever happened to the update to the Buzztv 3000 ..........to give it a fully functional PVR ??

[Maestro701]

October hasn't finished as yet so there is still time..... I guess would be the explanation

[Munstah]

meh I could care less about PVR TBH. I'm more interested in the changes that are supposed to be coming to to GUI. I have PVR on global media 4k box and t1 plus, tested once to see if they worked but that's it.

Exactly, PVR was hit with IKS but with so many streaming going on now PVR is basically obsolete. Timeshift on iptv servers is what is needed

[jropps]

I'm interested in PVR functionality on the BuzzTV XPL3000, particularly in setting up scheduled recordings while away from the house/STB unit.
I haven't examined Timeshift enough to see if it will provide me with what I'm looking for at an alternate time. Still like the idea of a simple, reliable PVR Recording feature though.
I'm currently torn between ordering a BuzzTV XPL3000 now, or waiting for whatever may be coming next from the Dreamlink peeps, as I'd like to have the BuzzTV XPL3000 and the newest Dreamlink box at the same time....but I'm so freakin' tired of the erratic (freezing) performance of the MAG254 STB I've been using since December of 2015 that the DL T1+, the BuzzTV XPL 3000, or even an empty soup can with string sounds waaaayyyy more appealing at this time on NFPS than this annoying MAG254! Grrr!!:mad:

I hope both Buzz and DL keep and improve the PVR function in their latest offerings...either way, Ive got to get something better than what has been driving me nucking futz for the past 2 years! LoL;)

I too am looking for a new box because my dreamlink t1 just died.

However, I have some mag 254 and they are super reliable. If you're having problems you describe, this is likely a network or server issue, not a hardware issue.

What steps have you done to confirm it's the hardware that is bad?

[ap1979]

Just got the XPL 3000, think the box works excellent so far. One issue I'm having is that on the epg, I can only go back 24 hours to watch catchup shows. I know that the server goes back further, as the Dreamlink T1 will take me back 5 days to watch shows successfully. Anyone know if this is a setting that can be changed, or if there's any method to request this be addressed in an update by the Buzz team?

[floder2]

The Buzztv XPL 3000 has an update earmarked for this month...... it should fix and add multiple expectations ..............We will have to wait and see..........

[NBS]

you should get the update today
the 1000 and 2000 tomorrow

[jayfamis9]

Did anyone get the update on the xpl 3000 yet? Did the catch up feature work as soon as you got the box without any updates?

[Munstah]

confirmed catch up working on 3 servers on xpl3000, however, only appears to go back to prior day.

[jayfamis9]

I also knew the update for these units were coming today, how I know, it doesn't matter. What matters is loading the update on the box when it's available. Replace your curiosity with anxiety to load that update and enjoy your unit.

Actually it does matter, he stated it and I want to know wether he heard it from the company or elsewhere. I'm just curious, don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

How's this box now with the new update.....can it record like it says

there is no mention of enabling the recording in release notes

[floder2]

This e-mail from Buzztv to me was e-mailed on Oct 9th...
I would think since they called it a "Big Update" .that it may be via a firmware update .....not just something that happens in the background without notice

================================================== ================================================== =============================================

" right now xpl 3000 looks and functions the same as xpl 2000. within the next 10 days were doing a big update for xpl 3000 to add the PVR functions

thanks

New to IPTV, and just got xpl 3000. Just am curious as to: how I can check what firmware my buzz tv is, the server is not working to manually check for updates,
also the Netflix app doesn't work and even the apptide one is really slow and laggy - any solution to this?
Is there a support contact email or a website for their firmware updates?
Thanks in advance!

Do you see the light marked "net" on the front of the box? Is that the light that is blinking or the "status" light? Do both lights blink or just one?

Mine was doing it too. I didn't know if it was normal or not but I knew it was annoying and was thinking of putting a piece of tape over it.
After a few days it died. Wouldn't turn on any more. I contacted the seller and have shipped it back. I was going to get a refund but I think
I will just get them to send me another one since it is suppose to be a good box to have. I currently don't have any other box to use.

[citrus]

Sorry if this is a newb question, but can the XPL 3000 record ANY stream, regardless of the provider? Or, do you still need an IPTV provider that allows / enables stream recording as well?

[Marley]

look do a factory reset ans start all over thats what i would do and have done

[citrus]

So, I got an XPL3000 to test out and while yes, it can record any stream there are some major limitations.


1) There is no skip forward / skip back functionality so you can't "instant replay" something you saw.
2) If you try to create a scheduled timer recording, you have to leave the "Live TV" app running on the box 24/7 because if you exit it, and go to the main menu, the recording won't start. This is a huge waste of bandwidth and just plain dumb.


I've emailed the developer asking if they can implement the first two features, and fix the scheduled recording problem.

1. Are you refering to a recording for fast for fast forwarding or rewind? recordings to my knowledge can do this..if your talking about live tv that would be called timeshift and not all servers support it.
2. Yes this makes total sense given that really any app must be on in order for it to fully function.. it would be hard to implement this feature as it would suggest that the Buzztv app would always need to be running in the background in order for it to know what type and when you wanted to record..so enfact your statment is ass backwards, it would be a hugh waste of bandwidth and dumb to have it running in the background always...anyways just my 2 cents friends but hey maybe your right...but also maybe not

[citrus]

I'm referring to skip back and skip forward live tv, similar to what you do on a bell pvr. The back button zips back 15 seconds and the forward button zips forward 30 seconds. You can do this during live tv to do an "instant replay". The content doesnt necessarily need to already be recorded, as the pvr keeps a buffer of the currently tuned in stream regardless of whether or not you have started recording it manually.

As for the the scheduled timer recordings, at a minimum they should make it so that IF the TV app has to remain open so that the scheduled recordings work, that it isnt "tuned" into a channel, streaming content for no reason if no one is watching it. That way it could still be open in the background and not consuming bandwidth by having a stream "open".

Yes yoru talking about time shift, this is a feature already included in the buzztv app, it is just that not every service has it active, it is not quite what i think you are expecting but you might be hoping for a little to much for a grey market service/box.

This could be done but would liekly require a server end update not a software end, buzztv app only facilities the portal access for the iptv your connecting what you are suggesting is that buzztv creates its own channel within the server to sit on that is black in order for it to then switch to the scheduled recording..I don't see this happening but hey anything is possible in this game

[PayPerView]

The skipping back/forward, pausing live TV etc. is part of time shifting and is not supported (I wish it were) but recording seems to work except porn.....you cannot record the porn channels. I understand not being able to record the prerecorded porn channels but the three live porn channels should be able to be recorded.

As for the timer recording I too have mentioned the issue of the apps inability to fire up the box and start a timer record. Leaving the app open so the timer record will work is a colossal waste of bandwidth but I seem to be in the minority on this subject as no one else seems to care.

I believe I have a solution to this but it would require an update by the Buzz people to their BuzzTV app. It's a solution I think would be an easy solution to implement.

As we know, the app is limited on it's capability to start the timer record unless it's up and running....I get that. However to leave the app up and running it is always on a channel burning bandwidth. If Buzz programmed in a "dead" channel in the app, let's just say "channel 0 (zero)" this could solve this issue. No matter what server one subscribes to, when you launch live TV (BuzzTV app) the channel list from the server would load, but at the top of the list would be channel 0. This channel would be a dead channel that pointed to nothing. The app wouldn't even try to search for a stream, it would just sit there kind of like free parking in Monopoly. This way the app is up and running but not burning any bandwidth. If you set a timer to record at 14:00 on channel 139, then turn to channel 0 and leave for work, when 14:00 comes the app switches to channel 139 and records then when the timer is done the app changes back to the previous channel it was on prior to the timer, in this case channel 0. The only bandwidth used would be what was used during the timer. No needless use on bandwidth when no one is there watching it. You come home from work and watch your show and life is good.

I truly believe this would be an easy implementation to the BuzzTV app. Channel 0 would not be server based but Buzz based so nothing would be needed from the server.

Not a bad idea really..however not sure if it can be done..buzztv has no control over the channel lists they only supply the GUI (Epg interface,VOD interface) the server your connecting to does the rest.. it would be tricky to implement

Been a couple weeks with the buzz and iptv in general. Loving the xpl3000 so far. I have a couple different subs I've been trying out and with the VOD for each the first time I play a movie it's displayed in 16:9 and I have to change the setting manually to auto. Then any movie i play is automatically formatted to fit the the screen. When I power off/standby the buzz and go back to VOD, the display setting is back to 16:9. Kind of a nuisance to fix every time.

Is there a way to change the settings in the buzz to set the display to auto?

Just played around on the buzz and I can do the pause, skip forward and backward and works with both subs I use. The only thing is that it goes back and forth in 1 minute increments. I can tell the time as I'm watching CP24.

Any update on scheduling recordings into USB flash card? I got a Buzztv and trying to schedule it into usb flash drive. Does it work? Any tips appreciated.

[quizzer]

Put the NTSF formattedflash drive into usb drive and Buzztv recognized it. Scheduled 3 recordings last night for programs this morning.


Saw a tick mark next to the recordings when I switched now. But unable to play any of them. Why did the recording not happen?


I scheduled recording from EPG and red button.

Update:

I contacted buzztv support and was told to keep the "live tv" app on and not to go into home or standby mode. If i keep the livetv on for say 8 hours/night, what will be the apprpox data consumption? I have a 1TB monthly cap and have few other devices.

You cannot record something and the device is in an offline state. TV is viewed within the app so the app has to engaged or in an online state.

If you have a 1TB cap it makes no sense doing recording
s in my opinion. Best to install an app where you can view the recorded stuff like kodi.

Got an update from BuzzTV support last night that many customers have requested for recording to happen without streaming. They are working to have the 'livetv" app on but without streaming so that recording can happen. ETA is 4-6 weeks.

[Marley]

see dont care about that its bust for recording i like safe thats only way they can get you as of this time have not seen a letter yet but thats the one that will get you but no ones cares till its to late just my two cents look it up and read

Any idea how much GB will be consumed for 1 hr of IPTV cant name other sites that ban i used dish stream info which you can look it up to

at 720 i think gig and half 1080 5 gigs 4k 20 gigs thats hr

I had posted a while back that Buzz should program in a "channel 0 (zero)" in the Buzz TV app that was a dead channel that pointed to nowhere. That way we could launch the app, keep it up all day but as long as it sat on channel 0 no bandwidth would be used. Most people in this group thought that was a stupid idea....whatever.

I currently don't have a sub as it ran out and I wont re-sub until winter so I am working from pure memory here. I had a work around for the exact issue you speak of. Since the timer will not launch the Buzz TV app, or even turn on the Buzz box, you have to leave the box on, and the app open. Now I don't know (since I no longer have a sub) if it's still there, but Papiao had a channel 999 which was listed as a "test" channel. At the time this channel was dead; didn't point to any URL. If this is still the case then you can use channel 999 for this work around.

Turn on the box, launch the Live TV and turn to the channel you want to record. set your timer via the guide (if the guide is correct), or set the timer manually. once completed turn to channel 999. If 999 is still a dead channel then you will burn no bandwidth (except for the minuscule amount of data used by the Buzz app checking for a handshake for channel 999). Now, while on channel 999 set a "reminder" via the manual timer for 5 minutes after the timer is set to end on the channel you want to record. set the reminder for channel 999.

If done right this is what should happen:
Lets say the show you want to record starts at 12:00 and ends at 13:00 on channel 100. turn on channel 999 in the morning before you leave for work....no bandwidth is used on 999. At 12:00 the timer switches to channel 100 and records for an hour stopping at 13:00. When the recording stops you'll still be on channel 100 burning bandwidth. This is where the "reminder" comes in. At 13:05 the reminder fires up and switches back to channel 999 where the Buzz app will sit for the remainder of the day burning no bandwidth until you get home.

If 999 test channel is no longer there then look for another channel that's dead. If I remember right there were a couple of dead Special Event channels that could be used. I know there were a ton of international channels that were dead, but they come and go and any ones whim so one could fire up and start streaming while you're at work.

Play with it and see what you come up with.

and what if someone wants to set up more than one recording from more than one service?:confused:

Multiple recording timers can be set in this fashion with a reminder for channel 999 set in between each record timer.

As for more than one service, no other services are allowed to be discussed here so it's a moot point. To quote your post #124 "you might want to read rules".

This is the Buzz section of NFPS/Rocket/Route 66 IPTV site. No other services are to be discussed on this site regardless of what section you're in. So again, setting a recording for other services is a moot point here.
