    Of course some things would be different, such as the specs and etc, but the options and setups should be the same in most cases and similar in other cases.

unplug the power cable while the buzz is on, for just a few seconds, then retry.

You are getting internet connection and server connection, even if just to get a channel list loaded. Those PPV channels are redirects and don't work the same as other channels. A channel list will load first and then the handshake and etc... Them PPV channels only need the channel list to load and they will work, even if other channels don't. In other words you could get the PPV channel's separate URL and open that one channel simply thru a PLaylist player and never even connect to papiao and the channel will work, but you'd have to get the channel URL first, which you get from papiao server, included in the channel list.
So anyway, that is why you'll get PPVs, as long as the channel list loaded and the right media Player is chosen.
It seems server connection is timing out or resetting on you, even before time starts. Is why some kind of reboot or IPTV reset or portal change might have helped.
Try that pulling power cord from the buzz box while it is powered on with buzz app opened.
Try rebooting the router too, but I generally leave that alone as it seldom if ever changes anything.... but a boot in the rear sometimes .... when you know that rest :)

--> medial player is not supported <--
I have seen this message before when the device losses connection with the channel, but not the server. So it's not always about the media player.
If there is no channel for the media player to see, but the connection is live, so it shows the media player error message.
If it lost server connection altogether it'd give a 'Not found 404 error'.

Start up the Buzz app and go to Server settings and disconnect which ever you have showing as connected (MAC or XC or m3u), then exit menu, re-eneter menu and attempt to connect to one that wasn't connected before. Exit menu, re-enter and disconnect that one and reconnect to the one you have setup... exit, check results.

question: wouod a new box help or not. can buy a box on amazon with free returns to find out still have same message media format not supported. does ayone have tmobile home internet with buzz working?

I dont think new box will help but you can try.
is tmobile a mobile phone service? if have enough speed and coverage should work fine. here in Africa we have bad mobile coverage and low speed does not work but local broadband with 5-12 mbps no issue. so if you have around that much from tmobile then should be fine.
