BuzzTV xpl2000

Tested a few more things after getting Stalker setup.

IN STALKER PORTAL:
- Refresh rate switching does NOT work
- Channel changing is very fast
- Video quality is hit and miss. Some things look really good, but I'm noticing almost like a shake/blur in the background (unfocused) part of the video. Some things look worse than my MAG or dreamlink - same IPTV server
- Noticing almost a "motion blur" - similar to low bitrate streams

95% of the testing was done with VOD content in order to reduce the chance of mixing up the above symptoms with low birate streams. It could just be due to the indivual server I used, but I don't think so. It worked great on my T1.

There will be more to come. I won't be able to check many other stalker servers (costs $$). I will definitely test this server a lot more when I get a chance.

Cheers


Interesting findings on the VOD playback. I've now tested 7 stalker services but haven't tried one VOD as I exclusively use kodi for that sort of thing. I'll do some testing on the VOD myself tonight. I think this device could use a bit more refinement (I'm sure this will improve as updates roll out) but all in all I am very happy with it. The navigation alone impressed me. One button press from live tv to Kodi as oppose to the dozen button presses to do the same on my T1 devices.
 
Which MAC did you use?? The one on the back side of the box it came in? Or the MAC listed on the screen in the "server" menu? You want the one displayed on screen in the server menu screen (00:1A:79...)

Keep trying, make sure to look for other threads with the same questions (just a different box)
 
I have decided to return the box. I wrote about it over in my thread if anyone is curious. Good luck with this box. I will check in here periodically to check for firmware updates.

Atleast you gave Er the old college try and tested it out yourself..heard mixed results about this box thus far..it would be nice if there was a coder or someone who knew a coder to pass the info onto them
 
I love this box! It does everything they said it would. The only update I'd like is for hdmi spoofing like the minix so that you can use certain apps that detect that. That is the only negative I have so far after 2 days. If it had that I'd ditch my minix.
 
Hi Mustah,
1 few more questions...
Is there any GROUP button on Remote like T1 remote. If not how do you make channels fav?
What do the 4 buttons on Remote stand for? RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE ?
Is there any support link and manual download?
Can you please provide any video on youtube?
Many thanks

You don't need a "category" button.......the categories, Sports etc are listed down the side of the page, along with the Language selections.

I TOO would LOVE to see a manual for this thing. I accidentally LOCKED myself out of NBC Golf HD.........NEED TO HAVE IT, :), and I can't figure out how to UNlock it.
I think I may have done it with the Red button on the remote........but now the box wants a Password to unlock it! WTF!! Anybody know what to do? Thanks.
 
Also.......my keyboard's spacebar doesn't work on my computer when I use "Quick Reply" on this forum. What's up with that? I have to go to Advanced.

??

Hey Taco,

Red button does indeed channel lock.. default password = 0000. Also, that space bar issue on quick reply is some sort of browser issue. I have the same issue with chrome but it seems to work in internet explorer.

Can you achieve the same thing with Xposed framework? (Look into that!) I installed it OK on the box. WARNING: If you screw /system files up, a factory reset may not fix it. Be careful everyone who is using root features like this.

I would research how MINIX accomplished this feature because you may be able to achieve it.


Has someone contacted BuzzTV for the original firmware IMG file that can be restored using the Amlogic Burning tool from a Windows PC? If someone gets this, please upload it for people to have.

If you screw up system or bootloader, I think the only way to fix it, is to exchange it (unless someone can upload the firmware IMG).
 
Is this normal with the Buzztv Box ......When your in live-Tv and want to return to the main menu page ...exit does not do it......I have to hit the HOME button on the remote
 
EPG and Show Reminder

Are you able to set a show reminder with this box like you can with the Dreamlink T1?

Also, I saw some pictures of this device's EPG on another page of this thread, but the resolution was like 120 x 200 or something.. lol, can someone PLEASE upload a high resolution picture (or video) showing the EPG?


Thanks!
