Onn Android TV Box by Walmart - Troy's First Impressions

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.

Oh, wow this is awesome. Thank you for doing these videos team. Great idea for patron exclusive videos.

But i have one complaint… Canada’s walmart does not have these and thats not fair. Great video.

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 :crazy_face:

I cant say anything good about the sticks tho…overheating and just stop working until they are unplugged and cooled. But they are ok for an hour or two as a backup.

@TXRon

Feel free to ship me one. The shipping is probably more than the price if the box. Best buy has it for 60 or 70 bucks

$60 daummm. thats crazy stuff

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 can’t 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, don’t expect your ONN box to last very long.

Got one for the bedroom. I only have Kodi, The Crew, and The Oath. It does everything I need. Thanks for the heads up.

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 haven’t 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 maker…

Yes, Thank you very much for all of these reviews! I’m 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 don’t need to buy a $10 fan for either one

Thank you for the info. Does the TiVo work the same as Firesticks ?

Yes, you can install all of the same types of apps on TiVo Stream 4K that you can on Firesticks…

I’ve 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.

Thank you guys that’s great to know !

Do we know if it will be available in Canada?

@brianpcdobbs

Its not, but best buy has it online in canada for 60 to 70 last i looked which was odd.

But so far no word on availability in canada

just set up my first onn box using the First Impressions video, and so far so good :+1:…i have the T-mobile home internet and the first test w/o Nordvpn running blew me away…162m down and 21m up…way faster than my 4k stick(which may c th junk drawer soon!)
