Moving forward all reviews will include a First Impressions video such as this for you Patrons.
Thank you for supporting TROYPOINT! You guys and gals are great.
This First Impressions video features the Onn Android TV Box that Walmart is currently selling. I picked this up for $19 a few days ago at my local Walmart.
Full unbiased review coming next week for it.
The review and Supercharge Guide for this device have been completed. Links below.
Great tutorial for anyone getting started on any android setup.
I have 2 of those boxes and they actually perform very well considering price. I use them as backups in case another box has issues and I set it up while I perform surgery on the afflicted box
I cant say anything good about the sticks thoā¦overheating and just stop working until they are unplugged and cooled. But they are ok for an hour or two as a backup.
Thanks to Troy for your preliminary review. Based on this, the ONN box looks like a good starter device for anyone on a budget who wants to get into and learn about all the different options for streaming. For $19 one canāt really complain about the lack of internal storage. Unless this box comes well vented, expect it to run on the hot side. Consider getting a cooling fan, (cost $10 - $12) to put under it. Otherwise, donāt expect your ONN box to last very long.
I have one if these boxes, thought it pretty good to. Reminded me of a Firestick in terms of storage capacity, but better because it runs on AndroidTV instead of Amazon version of Android. Have it connected to play around.
Would it matter what screen ratio your going to hook it up too? 4k might not work as well as the mecool or other pricier Android boxes⦠P. S. You hook line and sinkered me on the 4k firestick deal⦠I love it and have promoted your website links to others⦠I havenāt used my android box in over 5 months⦠Thanx again! Will watch for the ink review on the Onn box⦠That could be a money makerā¦
Yes, Thank you very much for all of these reviews! Iām new to the hobby so need all the info I can get! Look forward to the full review of the Onn box
Today 4/04, Amazon has
TiVo streaming 4k on sale $29.99 with 8GB storage and 2GB RAM DDR4 (3X faster than DDR3) Android TV OS
Google Chromecast (black) on sale $29.99 with 4GB storage 2GB RAM DDR3
Troy has excellent reviews on both and you donāt need to buy a $10 fan for either one
Iāve got a tivo4k streaming 2 rooms away on wifi and it has ZERO issues, blows away the firestick that was in same location. It matches up pretty well with what the mecool box could do.
just set up my first onn box using the First Impressions video, and so far so good ā¦i have the T-mobile home internet and the first test w/o Nordvpn running blew me awayā¦162m down and 21m upā¦way faster than my 4k stick(which may c th junk drawer soon!)
