BuzzTV xpl2000

I am itching to see a screenshot of the EPG. Also, this seems to be their actual homepage :
staff edited... live link removed

It actually appears that it has Playready , Verimatrix, and Widevine DRM. :O

That would be pretty rad. Not sure if its true but they advertise full 4K YouTube through Android. Wireless AC, gigabit, full 10bit video support. Seems to have a lot going for it.

I am going to sell my T1 and possibly consider getting this little gem. Still too early to be sure, as I want to hear some more reviews first.

If you live in Canada, the cheapest I can find it is Newegg.ca for $130 CAD, including shipping. 15 day money back guarantee.

Cheers

Does not have gigabit ethernet.. also if you aren't newegg premier member you're looking at around $165 when it's all said and done.
 
Well you can see how often I buy stuff on Newegg ;) I never knew there was such a thing.

Are you positive about no gigabit? The manufacturer has it written and advertised, as do all the resellers, including Patriot Electronics.
It wouldn't be the first time that specs were negligently copied and pasted tho :p

Cheers
 
Yea positive. I speed test on average 940 down on my nvidia shield and minix boxes when plugged in via Ethernet. On buzz tv and my dreamlink it's 94 down so clearly megabit Ethernet port on both devices. I actually get better speeds on my 5 ghz wifi with the buzz as a result lol
 
I'm wondering if maybe there is a bug in Android preventing gigabit and forcing megabit. Many PINE64 boards suffers from that very issue (might be hardware tho). But I fear you are likely correct. That's hilarious about the 5ghz tho. :D

Yep those are the accurate specs
 
Does it come with its own brand IR remote or not? If I I look at BUZZ TV XPL2000 IT shows BuzzTV IR Remote with LIVE, EPG, RECALL and 4 different color buttons while KR41 does not have such buttons.
Can you please clarify this and confirm?

For a MEDIA STREAMER/Stalker box, lollipop is sufficient for now (who says it wouldn't be updated. This is the INITIAL launch). Most Android boxes are still running KitKat but Lollipop had some major improvements.


2GB Ram is NOT enough?? Ummm You realize you would likely be able to have good performance even with 512mb (optimized Android), and 1G is more than sufficient. Maybe you should take a look at how much RAM is actually in use on your Android boxes (even under full use). This is not a Windows/ Unix computer or VM server, requiring 16gb RAM.

Those AML s912 boxes for sale with 3GB RAM are basically a marketing gimmick as you'll never need that much RAM unless you decide to erase Android and turn it into a Linux server, OR the Android OS is built really crappy, with minimal optimizations, and possible memory leaks.

Can one install third party Cutom Kodi build on top of Kodi 17 in this box? I intend to install EZZERMANS Krypton build.
Does it have Catch up rv function and how does it work?

Unrestricted with full playstore support so you can put whatever you want on it. Tv catch up works the same as T1 where you can see what was on over the past 7 days.
 
What is the name of the app for live tv? How does the epg work and is it the grid type? A few pics or demos will suffice

The app is called Buzz TV and the epg is a grid display. I personally prefer the look of the grid EPG on the T1. I liked the T1 but that and even the T1 plus are lacking in some critical areas, mainly android version. Now that boxes limited to kodi 16.1 (due to kitkat) are seriously lacking in HD links compared to kodi 17. I have a strong feeling that we will see a new dreamlink model later this year.
 
Stumbled across another cool feature. In addition to be able to jump instantly between live tv and kodi with the press of a button, you can also jump straight into Netflix using the channel recall button.
