Get an onn tv box from Walmart for $19.99. Just as good if not better than Amazon firestick

I bought Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K. Why not get that?

I would suggest the Walmart ONN UHD box. In my opinion it is snappier than either of the choices you mentioned. For $20 I think it's the best budget streaming option available.

Alot of people telling me to get the walmart Onn box. But its not available in my country thats why I’m weighing out firestick 4k , the mo box and ccwgtv

So what did you end up buying and how's the experience?

Get a Chromecast instead

The firestick has always been behind. They put their own front into the FireOS. They put out an update but it is connected to Android.

I’ve been using the chromecast more so than the stick.

I have the Fire Stick 4k, it is well worth the asking price. Have it hooked up to my 11 year old Hisense TV and despite the fact that my TV has no fancy new features:

  • The Fire Stick remote can control the power and volume of my 11 year old TV.
  • I am able to stream from every available service without any problems on 2.4 or 5 gHz WiFi.
  • I mainly bought the Fire Stick to stream games from my computer using Steam link and it works perfectly for that too.
  • lots of options to limit unwanted access. I set a pin to keep people off my Firestick. There's parental controls too.
  • I can pick what I want to see on the home screen. Disable sound for video previews or disable video previews altogether.
  • Honestly, there's so many apps with so much content, there's never a dull moment.

Oops I was wrong. It's android 7.1.2 with September 1, 2019 patch.

As a few other people say, get the ONN 4K box. For $20 It is just as comparable in performance to the Chromecast with Google TV. I gave 3 CCwGTV and I bought the ONN to try and it has already replaced the CCwGTV for my master bedroom. I'm planning to replace the other 2 with these as well. It's that good

I have both. The firestick is good but can be limited with Android 5 (I think) the MI box s is much better but only has android TV 9 and the security patch is over a year old. The onn box is quite good and better than the other one's plus is cheaper.
