Crazy Carl’s Buzztv Intial Impression
Hello iptv team
I have recently acquired the Xpl3000 model and wanted to give my initial impression on it.
What I like:
1. The box is well equipped with remote, long HDMI cable, batteries.
2. Form factor from the box is tiny and I mean the footprint is smaller then a roku 3-4 generation.
3. Set up was easy and starting screen is simple to use and that makes the over all smoothness nice from the get go.
4. Apptoide market is a major win, well populated with useful viewing apps from streaming to sharing with kodis latest version and apps like showbox, terrarium, etc..
5. Bluetooth works well and keeps my Sony headphones connected without having to repair them every time I turn them off.
6. Easy clear brush app closes all background apps not in us In the form of a rocket ship. (Always wanted to be an astronaut)
7. My neighbors dry waller also has this box and I will reiterate what he said about the Buzztv app, the overall smoothness of this app is refreshing. The GUI is nice and simple and populated well and quickly it does sometimes need a page up or a page down to fully get it there though. Portals are easy to access and enter and there are several options such as pvr, catchup, and timeshift. The buttons on the remote help as there designed for and around the app.
8. The remote is softouch and quieter then other remotes I have used which is nice if you have a light sleeping partner or little ones.
What I don’t like:
1. There’s some lag when using the keyboard easily fixed by using a keyboard remote or blue tooth keyboard mouse combo.
2. The mouse on the remote has some lag as well.
3. The buzztv app according to the dry waller sometimes flashes a lost stream message that sometimes comes and goes on it own and sometimes requires a click of the remote to get rid of.
Overall in the short time I have had the device for I would rate it so far a solid 8/10 I have tested quite a few box’s and own a Nvidia Shield and I must say I’m quite pleased with the buzz box and the team behind it.
