i was given this as a gift its my first streaming box so i cant compare this to any others
the device is great!worked on all my tv`s old and new turned my old plazma tv into a smart tv.
paired with open bullet etc lol you have all the tv you can get. the device does exactly what all the
top media players do on those 200( as per reliable friend who has them all) buck boxes ott navigator smarters iptv xtreme tivimate vlc all do great on this device.you need a splitter for storage and i use an old usb game controller. you can side load modded apps like ott and games.games worked well on this device.i downloaded dead trigger 2 and into the dead they played very good for me i borrow hulu netflix spotify from friends/you it all works great.dont own a 4k but the pic on my samsung is great i can see nose hairs lol there are some that are giving bad reviews but they seem to be coming from folks that dont know zilch about iptv.my youtube channel looks fabulous.not a big fan of media boxes but for the price this device works very good so i posted this to help someone on a budget.
heres a decent review

really? lol sold out
i do my grocery shopping at walmart just a few blocks away
i talked a empolyee in the entertainment section he says their selling them fast
i think they just put them online too you could only get them at the store in the past
i thought this was a joke @ 29 bucks when my neighbor gave me this but its good it wont make
you a cup of coffee in the mornin but its straight forward does a great job with iptv the 4k i have not tested
but at 1080i it does as good as your tv does.the games work decent i switched over to an xbox gamepad it works like it should.like i say not a lot of bells and whistles but definitely worth the price.
Onn from what i could find is supposed to be high end product from CHINA lol offered at a low price
they have tv`s too i checked out the 55" for 418 bucks the thing has a very nice picture.

seems like onn had this in the plans anyway they do update these boxes got a remote update
recently the remote is very good very simple to use.At android 10 its already a step above most.
i havent checked on the secret codes for apps yet but with ott navigator premium mod loaded
and kshaw no real need for anything else.

yeah it turned my old plazma tv into a smart tv i have in my hobby shop that only had ota on it
i was lucky i had a usb splitter for side loading and a xbox controller for the games on hand im cheap and dont want to spend money lol this box does more than it was intented to do.
i cant compare it to others because i dont own any others but sounds like it does what the others do
i dont see any need for theses if you have a smart tv i have 240 working servers on my samsung and onn tv`s

The only problem I see for this great deal is that you still have to purchase the OTG Cable and an SD Card/Reader. Once you add those to the price and availability, it might be better to add that to the 20 bucks (for US price). :noidea: UNLESS you don't want to have PVR
Let's say, 15.00 SD Card Reader + SD Card 21.00 and 12.00 for the OTG Cable + 25.00 ONN Box = $68.59 US and $85.00 CA (ish)

Some who are concerned with using their email will use an "email access" i would recommend using one
from a not so friendly country lol.
another way use the modded apps ott navigator premium modded load 20 different servers with the voice remote
say hbo and hbo from all the servers come up pretty easy.
but the ultimate way for me is the sfvip player on windows miracast to my tv`s
the sfvip player handles xc stalker xui where some of those andriod apps fail
sfvip works.yup i have tested them all sfvip player hands down the best player
best of all its free not 200 or even 25 bucks and its not from walmart its from salezli

I tried to add a 64gig thumb drive to my Fire Stick and was able to migrate most of my apps to the drive with a file manager. Everything seemed to be fine until certain apps on the Firestick needed updating and kept getting an error message saying there was insufficient space for the update. Bottom line seems to be issues communicating between the drive and the Firestick. Wound up doing a factory default.

It wasn’t clear from the Journal’s report if Comcast would license X1 to Walmart under that name or a different one. If an agreement is made, Walmart is likely to integrate the X1 platform into its Onn-branded television sets.

i call it b.s. this clown probably doesnt know his azzz from a hole in the ground
probably sells other brands of media boxes he should have checked the contract
like the review from brett with the one star lol probably doesnt know his right hand from his left.
this thread is over a year old means ive had mine working that long
no problems at all im not one who likes media boxes mostly because they are wayyyyy over priced
but i dont have a problem with the onn media streaming boxes their open sourced has one hell of a remote
i bought yeah i bought one for my samsung just for the voice remote it bypasses the option in apps like ott navigator where you have to have premium for the voice search to work.
my note to 9to5google.com learn how to google need help let the highwayman show you how!

That is the thing, I didn't buy any of them, I also have the onn Stick and the onn 4k with lineage OS, here in PR the shelf of the onn Stick and onn 4k has being empty since February, it is sad if it's true, the onn equipment is dirt cheap the Stick was 14.88 and the 4k was 19.88
