BuzzTV is making a definitive pivot toward the premium mainstream market with the launch of its G-Series Set Top Box. Moving away from its traditional Android-based IPTV roots, the G-Series brings a fully certified Google TV ecosystem powered by the new Amlogic S905X5M platform.
Aimed at enthusiasts who want top-tier streaming performance, the G-Series merges robust hardware, modern codec support, and dedicated AI-driven video processing into a single, comprehensive media hub. Pre-orders are live now, with units slated to ship on April 10, 2026.
Quick Highlights
Dedicated AI-SR 2 Hardware: Real-time, zero-lag 4K upscaling.
Premium Visuals: HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support.
Modern Networking: Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet.
Certified OS: Android 14 for TV (Google TV).
Under the Hood: Amlogic S905X5M & AV1 Decoding
At the heart of the BuzzTV G-Series is the Amlogic S905X5M chipset, which utilizes a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU and a Mali-G310 V2 GPU. BuzzTV paired this SoC with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage, providing plenty of overhead for fast UI navigation, smooth app switching, and local media caching.
For media playback, the G-Series is fully equipped for the modern streaming landscape. It supports hardware decoding for AV1, H.265, and VP9. Video output is capped at an impressive 4K at 75 fps, bolstered by support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos audio pass-through.
The Standout Feature: AI-SR 2 Hardware Upscaling
While many streaming boxes rely on software upscaling, the G-Series leverages AI-SR 2 (Artificial Intelligence Super Resolution) via dedicated hardware. Because it works inline within the video pipeline, this real-time upscaling enhances 720p and 1080p content to near-4K quality without taxing the system memory or bottlenecking CPU/GPU performance. For users with massive libraries of older, lower-resolution content on Plex or Kodi, this is a massive value-add that significantly improves sharpness and edge detail while maintaining smooth frame rates.
Connectivity, I/O, and Control
BuzzTV hasn't skimped on networking or physical I/O. The G-Series features Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet to ensure bandwidth-heavy 4K Dolby Vision streams run without buffering.
Port Selection Includes:
HDMI 2.1
USB-C (Data) & USB-C (Power)
USB 2.0
Gigabit LAN
Optical SPDIF
microSD Card Slot
On the software front, the shift to Android 14 for TV (Google TV) means deeper content aggregation, seamless smartphone remote integration, and native Google Assistant voice search. For IPTV power users, BuzzTV retains its identity by integrating the BuzzTV 6 app. Navigation is handled by the included G21 Bluetooth Voice Remote, which features a numeric keypad and dedicated shortcut buttons.
