Lost remote control Left & Right in VOD w/upgrade

Hmmm... interesting... I still haven't received any update notification for my BuzzTV xpl3000, running Android 7.1.2, even after manually checking all week, including just prior to this post. I also bought one of the BuzzTV ARQ-100 Wireless Air Mouse Keyboard Remotes, cuz I couldn't stand how the factoory remote refused to work even 3 feet away from the xpl3000, pointed right at it, without pressing the same buttons repeatedly until it occasionally would respond, even with fresh batteries, I found the factory remote to be horribly unresponsive. The seller I bought my BuzzTV xpl3000 from on FleaBay included 2 factory remotes, which was a nice bonus, but neither of them worked very well.
The new BuzzTV ARQ-100 Wireless Air Mouse Keyboard Remote works very well indeed, although the "Guide" button on the new remote doesn't bring up the guide, the lil' sprocket symbol button in the lower-left corner of the remote, directly above the Red button does bring up the Guide, but still no "Info" about the program showing, other than the Name of the program, if it's available. Maybe, once I finally do get the new firmware update for the xpl3000 this will change for the better.

hope you know the update is for buzztv2 ..not firmware..........you have to go to live-tv and then menu.....down to check updates............there will be no automatic notification because this is not a forced update
I tried VOD yesterday to replicate an issue someone had and I can tell you that the left/right arrow buttons on the remote does work.
@floder2:
Yeah, I misspoke when I referred to it as a "firmware" update....I meant the buzztv2 app. And yes, i've been accessing the update function via the Menu button. then down to Check updates. NBS had reached out to me back on 22 DEC and offered to assist with the update, but I haven't been on the site since the 21st, due to work and the onset of the holidays, etc.
For me, anyway, this elusive update is just that -- elusive, no matter how many times I check updates manually, it always says "No updates available", even if I reboot via the RCU, or power the xpl 3000 down via removing the rear power plug and waiting a few minutes and powering it back on, it hasn't received any update since my original post back on 21 DEC.
Hopefully NBS can work his magic with the info I sent him at his request, and I'll be able to check out the new update. Assuming I finally do receive the update for my xpl 3000, and if it fixes enough of the issues in the old version of the BuzzTV app, I may go ahead and grab one of the new xpl 3900's that came out recently too.
Thx!

@NBS:
Hey NBS...yeah, I'd read that thread too last nite after responding to ur pm. Since u'd asked for specific info in the pm u sent me back on 22 DEC, I guess I figured u had some kind of connection / abiity to affect that kind of change, therefore the "magic" reference. LoL

i could have if you were the only one not getting it
@NBS:
Noted! LoL
I now have the update too! Yipppeee!!
Pretty cool changes...many I've yet to test, but I will check 'em out over the next couple of days.
A few things I did notice immediately after the update today were/are:
-- Small channel view looks slightly different, although I'm trying to figure out what changed... maybe a bit cleaner?
-- The info button on the original BuzzTVxpl3000 RCU and on the "Guide" button on the replacement BuzzTV ARQ-100 RCU I recently purchased now shows some info about the program ur watching, which is great to have it working. Maybe they'll get the keymaps fixed on the BuzzTV ARQ-100 RCU to get them working to match the labels on that remote...but the good news is the info is now showing/working.
-- Velocity Ch 246 seemed to have disappeared...was watching it prior to the update, but it's disappeared from the list..so, out of curiosity, I typed in the channel number on the remote and pressed the OK button, and it changed to the Velocity channel! I then pressed the OK button again, and it showed the Velocity Channel (ch 246) in that lil' mini channel list, but it's not working, so maybe this is a server-side hiccup, vs a byproduct of this latest BuzzTV2 app update. Then I noticed the channels seemed out of order, so I pressed the Green button on the remote and it sorted the channels in ascending order like it's normally shown (on my xpl3000 anyway!). Hope the Velocity channel content returns, as it's one of my fav's.
Correction: The channel list is still somewhat messed up after this update, for me anyway, with several channels missing from the display lineup, which makes it appear as though they're in some kind of weird order, even after pressing/toggling the Green (sort) button on the remote. Audience Network Channel 244 was also missing (and others in that 239-294 range) and I tried my previous trick with Velocity channel, by typing in the channel number directly on the remote, and it appeared in the list, and it works (content not missing on that channel), but once I did that, the Velocity Channel (ch 246) disappeared again from the mini channel view list and from the Guide/overall channel lineup.
Thinking that maybe this is some kind of cache corruption issue, I tried clearing cache and rebooted the xpl 3000, but the weird behavior persists...never had this issue prior to this latest update.
If future updates can fix the handful of nit-noid things remaining, I'll gladly go buy the new BuzzTB xpl3900 model that just came out, so I can take advantage of the internal hdd slot (mine will be a 500GB/1TB SSD) for recording capabilities, and storing other media content.
Aside from the latest weird behavior described above...Cool update BuzzTV support peeps! Thank you very much!!
