Walmart's own in house brand is ONN, they rebrand a lot of stuff to sell under the Onn brand. Well at least it should be better than those no brand boxes

The Disney+ button probably opens the US Version of Disney+ which won't work here

Yes but now many are complaining on Reddit that the remote constantly unpairing itself

Walmart acknoledged the issue but yet to have any fix up to now

So I am reconsidering it as it is gonna be painful if remote not working

True. The other cheaper options for me would be the Mecool KD1. I am using one and it has no issues for me at least (I actually bought and tested a bunch of Android TV devices during MCO because I have nothing to do).
The only thing is that it does not have Netflix license, so if you want Netflix this is not for you.

Hermm, I never had that issue with remote unpairing itself

Wow what a hobby to pass time during MCO!

Since alucard89 mentioned his unit is fine I might still go for ONN box

Mainly those who complained said it could be resolved by placing an icebag onto the box so most probably it was due to chip overheat or hardward issue by batch

Bro mind to help me the following?

1. How long have you been using this ONN ATV box and how many hours do you stream typically?
2. General review, mainly on the cons that you had faced

Thanks in advance!

Got it since dec last year
Usually just open it up whenever new movies out or for my weekly tv shows
But lately just open it up for my son didi n friends video playlist

So far all good, just 1 minor issue to control the power for my really old sony sound system. I can control the volume just fine but not powering it on/off which is something firetv 4k and tivo 4k can do just fine.

Other not support dolby atmos/vision, it can pretty much play anything you throw at it. Technicallly the hardware can support but something about them not paying extra for those and keep the price low

if you’re in the mood for tweaking the box (root etc), there’s a dedicated thread at xda

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unoffici...evices.4313743/

Storage not really an issue if you just use the usual streaming service. If you use kodi and add some custom skins and streaming addon, might need to do some regular housekeeping to clear the cache or logs

Thanks for the info bro!

My usage will be on Disney+ Hotstar, Youtube and miracast for TVB drama only, and maybe Netflix in the future

You tried casting? How was it?

Since Disney+ Hotstar does not support Dolby Atmos so it doesn't matter

On ther emote controlling for other devices I am fine as long as it has no issue controlling the tv box

I am using my unifi remote for my white STB and TV, no other AV devices

Might explore on VPN on the box later on as it would be good for some georestricted youtube videos

And lastly, do you have the link where you bought it?

Thanks again!

I don’t really do casting, but no issues
With kodi, pretty much everything is there lol

Surfshark is pretty good choice, can select apps that goes thru vpn connection so others still on msian ip

From walmart site, use forwarder like buyandship.
If too much trouble like your orders getting cancelled then better just order from shopee

btw, try add this for your ambient tv back light, I’m just missing the power supply to get this up and running 😅

Hi, do I need a TV box to play downloaded 4k movie(10-20GB file size) or Google TV(Sony X85J) it self able to play it?

Thanks for the feedback

After a little digging I came to this article

Apparently the fix for ther emote unpairing itself issue was released

https://9to5google.com/2021/09/11/walmart-o...te-august-2021/

Security Patch Level Update (August 2021)
Upgrade of Remote Control Unit (RCU) FW v1.44
Fix for the system hang issue
Fix for the RCU disconnect issue
Fix for auto language change issue
Fix for Wi-Fi WPA2 connection issue

I am pretty much convinced that this will be a good buy

Will just get it from Shopee because with forwarder and who knows got taxed later it might come to the same amount plus warranty

Next after getting the box will be research on kodi

Currently considering Mecool KM2 and KM7

KM2 is more expensive for less storage but since I don't use Netflix anyways i suppose it's better for me to get KM7 for more storage?

Unless there's some other caiveats i should know about

Oh that issue was already fixed by the time i bought it

Reply to self but I decided on the KM2

I found out the OEM for it is Skyworth and they sell it as the Leap S1

Skyworth also makes the Unifi Plus Box with very similar specs, might even be the same box with different branding.

Where as the KM7 from what I've seen it's just "VS" listed as manufacturer

Right

Probably the FW was pushed to your box on your first launch since you got it in Dec 21

Hello, please tell me can i install unlocked apps on Android boxes? Are there any restrictions?

what is unlocked apps?

Apps with unlocked premium features without need to pay. Subscriptions, licenses and more.

where can get the unlocked apps ?
