Would the Onn. remote pair with my TCL Android TV? For that price, it's almost worth it for the better remote.

Take the receipt to the customer service desk. They'll give you the difference back if you actually "just bought it" probably within 30 days.

looks like this is nation wide, it was posted yesterday on the telegram group. Ordered one today for pickup and got one in the evening. I am surprised how nice the remote is, the box is crisp. I have all kind of boxes, apple tv, Roku's, firetv's, chinese box's. This is a steal at this price. The remote has RF feature as well, and i can control my receiver and TV via it.

so does anyone have the freezing issues with this thing? i see a ton of reviews saying that but ive setup 3 now and none froze one me yet even once?

It’s is actually a awesome product. You get your bang for the buck. Solid and stable.

altsuperego

Wow I better get one

sneedo

Do these devices have Bluetooth support?

evictedkoala

Pretty soon they'll be mailing these to people randomly like samples of Tide.

Solid streaming device with a remote control that work with most TV (your TV remote will become obsolete!). Bought this when it was $30. At $20 it is a bargain!

Did they fix the issue with YTTV constantly freezing on this? I unplugged mine and went back to a Roku a few months go.

Did they have to decrease it because Prime Video is no longer available on it?

GRRRRR.....

Gonna stop at Wally World today and get the stick for the remote - I mean the remote alone is worth $15 if you have a CCGTV and don't like that remote 100%.

For me it's a little small and the button placement is bad. If I could remap the GA button and make that home it would be better but I cannot.

Edit - Now I have heard it all the Walmart in Newport, RI does not carry the Onn devices according to the two sales clerks there in Electronics. WTF?

local store manager where i got mine today said they were prob not selling as well as they wanted them to. also the tivo 4k are on clearance in all my local stores for 22$ one store had a ton of them on a shelf like stacks of those.

Fred_Fitch

Take it back haha. How do you like it?

WasedaWalker

Where is this? Doesn't seem to be on sale every store.

WasedaWalker

Worth it just for the remote, but the stick itself is actually pretty good for a second TV!

FlatwormEducational4

I’ve bought 2 of them. Awesome box. A bit shy on storage but for 30 bucks 👍

FlavoredButtHair

That's a Walmart brand. You get what you pay for.

This or the Tivo 4K streamer? I'm worried about long term support from Walmart and the lack of auto HDR. Is there some OS for Android boxes that would continue to support this device if Onn/Walmart stopped pushing updates for it? What do people generally do when their older Android TV boxes stop receiving updates? It seems to be a common problem for Android TV or similar devices that aren't made by a well known manufacturer.

Bought one the other day. Cant, yet, get Amazon Video to install. Play Store says it is not compatible.

Besides that I'm impressed with the speed as I also have an Nvidia Shield TV and was expecting it to drag.

llzellner

So how's the compatibility with:

External USB for MKV, APK etc.

External DVD/BR via USB?

802.11a[ac] TV LAN for things I've moved to 5GHz tired of the RFI on 2.4 Ghz(802.11b) wish other things would move the cough Ring cough

VLC - 99.99% of my use is this, for my worldwide DVR.

Crackle

PlutoTV

Tubi

Xumo

FilmRise

HDHomeRun

AirTV2 via Sling TV - ONLY FOR the OTA! Do not use any paid portions, the AirTV2 tuner works better RF wise than the HDHR! And NO FEE DVR!

STIRR - A real PITA on most anything but a phone it seems - Sinclair doesn't seem to want to fix it. Too bad...

Parents use these over my better judgement and thus I have to make sure devices support it when I update them.

ESPN+ (not anything else + only!)

Philo

Discovery+

Definitely wouldn't mind finding a deal on something v. my current choice HK1RKBOX's for non Android TV's.

Don't care about netcrpx, hulsux, etc. Don't use them, and I personally don't do any paid things. Unfortunately I am stuck supporting paid things for parents.

Any comments, feedback would be welcome... THANKS!

What version of Android TV is it loaded with?

RemarkableRegret7

I just bought the stick. Don't have a 4k tv yet so figured what was the point.

But am I crazy or should this show up in the Home app on my phone? It's not there and I can't add it.

altsuperego

Well it doesn't seem to support exfat as was previously suggested. Or my USB OTG is defective. Anyone know if external drives non fat32 are supported?

okgusto

What's so good about the remote?

TeutonJon78

Seems weird to be clearancing them already, or was it just a sale?

Edit: seems to just a price drop. Still odd to drop 33% so fast.

**EDIT**

Seems like lineageOS site is having issues at the present. Hopefully it will be back online soon.

I have 2 of the uhd boxes. You can also run lineageOS on these. over at XDA it gives instructions for it. You'll be wanting the "dopinder" portion for the UHD 4K boxes. So, if you are feeling techy and confident in your skills, there is that you can install. It upgrades to android 11. Take note..if you have enabled external (internal) storage on these, exfat WILL NOT work. only fat32 formatted usb sticks up to 120gb. I use a 32gb sandisk cruzer glide with mine as it can get iffy using usb as internal storage past 64gb from what I've heard.

I found a couple Tivo Stream 4ks for $7 each at Walmart.

À this good device Android

NoZombie-2020

I could only imagine! I’ve always wanted to just hook some of these up and really test them ! I would think it’s probably just as good as roku! Cheap is cheap

off_my_ritalin

Are these worth getting??

concatime

Wow, consider yourself lucky! Living in Canada, I bought mine 62USD from Ebay... I received it yesterday and installed LineageOS [1]. Cool product for the price. Just don’t forget to downgrade to Android TV Launcher v2 [2] (and don’t forget to disable automatic updates, otherwise...) to get rid of the annoying ad on the front page and remove YouTube rows like show here [3].
