How come your EPG doesn't look the same as this?



Another user posted this in the last page of this forum..

I would prefer the way yours looks though vs how his looks..

I bout a buzztv about a month ago and has been working great so far. 2 days ago I had a prompt saying an update was available and I clicked to make the update. It kept showing a screen that said "Loading" and below that "Handshake started..." then showed a loading icon/spinner and 30+ mins later nothing happened. I used the box tonight and Kodi worked fine, but when I clicked on LiveTV I still see this "Loading" and "handshake started..." and cannot get to livetv.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know where to get support? I see that their website seems to be: hxxp://getbuzz.tv/but I don't see anything about support, downloads ,etc. I went to settings -> disabled automatic update -> run a manual update and it says no updates found.

did you let the update finish before you did anything else? might have to do a factory reset and start over

Hope some of you guys and gals that have had this BuzzTV box for a while can help. Thanks to reading this forum I was able to figure out that you have to hold down green button to enter URL. I have a few more questions and hope someone can answer.

1. The very first server is name "Default" when you select that you can change only name. there is no line for URL. What is this for?

2. The specs say this has 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi. The 5GHz SSID for my network does not show up on my box. I am in same room as my extreme router so distance isn't an issue. All my other devices that pick up 5Ghz work fine. I have tried a factory reset already and din't fix.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I reported this issue with that update and certain servers to them and was told that their engineer is looking into it.

To answer question #1.. default is the url for a certain service which you cannot change. Just ignore and use the 9 other slots.

Did you turn off overscan in the settings on the TV/monitor?

Were you able to get the update bug resolved? Anyone else have issues with updating the box?
I'm supposed to pick up 2 of these boxes and your post has me a little leery of buying a brand new iptv box.

I did read it but most people don't realize leaving overscan on will cause the same issue you had in your photo, that's why I suggested it.

I passed on buying the boxes, the guy was acting sketchy. I guess it's just part of the business but I didn't want to take the risk buying from him.

I've been out of town for about 10 days and returned home to find the new update available on the buzztv - it was offered as an optional install when I started the live TV app. The new app version is 1.5 (which I swear was the same version as the last one) and remedies a few of my complaints. VOD content is not stretched to fill from letterbox to full vertical extent of the screen - there is a menu option called "auto" when VOD content is paused that is present but I haven't tested. The buzztv app / vod player now is fully usable from my perspective. Regarding the guide, two photos of the onscreen guide are in this thread - one of these is the default "live tv" master view with the preview in the top right, a list of channels on the left, and a short list of upcoming shows on the highlighted channel. The other version is accessed by hitting the EPG button (part of the Live TV, VOD, and EPG set of three on the physical remote). I am not certain if there are any changes to the EPG version which shows a set of 5 channels with a grid guide for the next two hours to the right - scrolling onto the guide moves the single channel content sideways without scrolling the time labels. It seems to me a more reasonable setting would be to scroll the entire view for the five stations with the time labels moving at the same time. Right now I'm back to using the Buzztv app full time rather than switching off to stbemu. Good update with no hick-ups.

Thanks for your current assessment or the newest update plorraine doea stb emulator run smooth as well?

To answer your question : you dont need stb emu on this box. It is already pre-designed to run iptv. you just have to add the servers and thats it.

I just got this box yesterday and it seems like it is working nice and smooth. However, one thing i found out is the video quality seems a tiny bit blurred as compared to mag. i dont know may be there is a fix for this?
 
#138
I don't have a mag (or other) for comparison. Veronicas in another thread made some comments where she felt the native buzztv app had inferior video quality to that with stbemu using the exo player. My casual observation has been that over several different providers, channels that look good on stbemu look good on the buzztv app but that this varies with channel and provider as you might expect. Yesterday I watched a baseball game using the buzztv app that was beautiful - high frame rate and free of blurring. VOD content using the buzztv player looks better than the earlier release and comparable to stbemu - again a very casual comparison. In Veronicas' other thread, someone who had been in contact with the developer reported that buzztv is built with the exo player and that the quality *should* be the same - whether it is or not is the question.

I believe that Buzztv had an update or two since Veronicas posted.................. I have owned Avov--Mags--Dreamlink T1--- firestick.... and now Buzztv........I can tell you that for me Buzztv is just as good as the Dreamlink T1 plus....very happy with it.........But I still love my Dreamlink...................
