Totally agree with your choices. I bought the Walmart box and it works great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also been having trouble with the firestick lately that it just stopped working and I just trashed it
Love the content hey buddy, I’ve researched and research and I know that I should’ve just came with you first. I am looking in to purchasing a IPTV box. Which box would you suggest to get? I am pacifically looking for a box that has the function multi vision installed or is that an app that I can install on that box if that makes sense? Thanks and keep up the great work.
You are talking about something completely separate from the point he has made. He is talking about an Amazon operating system as opposed to Developer Options. Amazon has already tried to make it hard to find the Developer Options. Next, they will eliminate it. Just ask those like myself who recently bought the new Show Device. The Fire Sticks are next.
@@besharponeful No need to ask you anything. Until it happens the Firesticks are still fully customizable. Stop scaring people into new devices when the Firesticks are still working perfectly fine.
@@greglopez8206but the point is the changing is coming whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Vega is a thin down Linux. Add to that Amazon has decreased the amount of available memory on newer fire sticks and its shows how anti consumer they are becoming. I switched to running a raspberry pi and run all my streaming apps and Plex off that and I have that ability to expand memory.
A few quick observations: Although it appears likely, Amazon has yet to confirm a move away from an android based OS, specific to its fire devices. Additionally it's important to realize that Amazon's market share in the streaming market sits in third place, at just 14%. In fact, the leaders in the market are Roku at 49%, followed by Googles Chromecast at 23%. This would suggest that Amazon would likely benefit from the development of its own OS, offering better/longer software support and greater hardware longevity than the current approach allows. Frankly, the sideloading community represents a small but vocal minority and those who might leave the fire stick behind, because of Amazon's assumed move away from an android based OS, likely aren't part of Amazon's target audience anyway, as those consumers who do opt to sideload aren't likely subscribing to Amazon's services. I would advise against sideloading, if you use Alexa for home automation anyhow, as doing so could present security risks. The vast majority of firestick users are using these devices in their factory default configurations. Even if Amazon loses some market share, they will still see it in terms of a net gain, in terms of a tighter user base.
Think you will find that far higher , even my grandad uses a side loaded app for his footy as it’s black out in uk on Saturday afternoon footy . A lot of my friends have similar stuff , everyone has prime and Netflix but due to amazons have or are sourcing different devices .
I am a senior, so I am not really very tech savvy when you use the ONN does it use a similar downloader app? What is theirs called and where do you get it?
Great video,I just recently purchased a 4k max FS ,If the new os goes into effect with an update on this firestick 4k then am done with Amazon and all their crap
Hence why I have not bought any new FS devices , just throwing your money away . And I had been with them since first stick then cubes , I did try 4k onn device but it’s extremely cheap made and gave out after 2 months use ( in uk) so I got the shield
Just bought 2 new firestick 4K max’s half price for each on Amazon prime day. So fast responsive, works perfectly fine with iptv subs and various other apps.
I've had multiple fire sticks for im guessing 5-6yrs. Loved them them. But the last 7 months or so the damn buffering has me at my end wit, especially on my local channels
I've had streaming sense 2013 when I went full-time. There wasn't a whole bunch of shoes from then. I've been using mainly. That I have right now. I bought in 2017. Never have an issue with them. Everything runs on them very expandable. Most of the stuff you're showing you can't expand them. My original one I bought 2013 i use it when i travel now. Plug it in an hotel and watch. My movie still works great. The only one that I saw that you recommended that I've ever considered is the video shield. That is one hell of a system. The other ones you're talking about were all cheap. Limited what you could do with them. I always thought the fire stick was so limited. What? You could do with it. I've never had one. I'm over there all the time. Update their software and stuff for them. And it's so limited, and so slow,
One of the best videos you've done in a long time. Probably my favorite. The on four k without a doubt, is a kickass deal at nineteen and change. I can't wait to see what they're 4K pro device. That is probably gonna be the one that I go to throughout my whole house and to recommend the friends and family
I agree with you about the onn device, my chromecast gave me issues. I think the Mecool is an awesome device as well, I have no issues with either. I do have the T95Z plus with 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM and it works great. My top choices of devices would be: 1. Nvidia shield 2. Mecool km2 3. Walmart Onn 4. T95Z plus Just my opinions
T95Z is OK. I made the mistake of buying boxes paired with an IPTV service from this guy on FB for $220 each. He basically charged $110 for the box and $110 for the yearly TV service. Then realized that you could buy that box on Amazon for less than $30 at that time. Being much more educated now, I realize that this guy is...not necessarily ripping people off, but more taking great advantage of people who just don't know any better. All in all, I've had 6 T95Z boxes, and two burned out within a year or two with just average use. So that's one I personally would stay away from in hindsight. So now, I actually sell boxes. I stock two models that are comparable to the Walmart ONN box. Unfortunately, I can't beat Walmart's price, so I guess I may have to "take advantage" of folks who don't know as well in order to sell them. Only by $5 or $10 at the most.
@@Triple_M another option is a small cheaper intel based computer like an older/used nuc, raspberry pi4, or Intel compute stick. I'll admit all these are more expensive but their advantage is longevity in my opinion and most likely overkill for just using Kodi.
Are any of these ethernet compatible? Seems they would use a lot of bandwidth. I an new to this whole thing. Also, I just purchased a Xiaomi Google TV. It appears to do mostly the same things as these do. What's the point? Thanks, and great job!
Chromecast does not allow you to load third party apps unless you jump through a bunch of obscure steps to make yourself an administrator and load the apps ...
@@vr4892 To be honest they don't care if they don't make money off of it. I've used several firesticks over the years and never bought anything from Amazon from it not even music or video services, just Kodi and Netflix before they got too woke. I'll most likely retire my firestick soon and replace with my raspberry pi4 or my intel nuc running linux to have a device with a longer lifespan replacement.
Nah, not entirely true. it's still very cheap comapred to other streamers. Only tech savy people would not buy after this but an average person Don't care about these things
I had a google tv and it stopped working, so i bought the onn 4k and i am very happy with it, and i like the onn remote much better than google tv;s. I love the button on the remote to get to settings and just the feel of it...And at that price, it can't be beat...
I'm more concerned with picture and audio quality, and snappy dashboard. PLEX performance is important as well being able to handle high bit rate video files.
You get what you pay for, bought the Onn box, it quit shortly after the Amazon 30 day return policy and Onn wouldn’t warranty it because I bought it at Amazon I’m in Canada so it cost $55 and can’t get my money back
Same happened to me (in uk ) There extremely cheaply made I mean what do you expect for $20 bucks if in us then yeah there easily replaced but I’d never buy another again .
Older versions of fire stick or cubes will still work fine and will not receive the new os system amazon will not push new os to older firestick cost millions. The new os will only be on new generation's of firestick and cubes
You nailed it! The Onn. Box at 19.88 with a good everything is the perfect Firestick replacement. Can’t wait to see what the specs will be for Onn. 4k Pro. My bet is it will cost under $35 dollars and outperform the Firestick 4K Max.
They wont update the Firestick you already own .. they cant lve update from one operating system to another .. new 1s will come pre installed with Vega... no panic just yet
The fire stick is so bloated with a lot of junk that you can’t get rid of like photos and kids and other stuff you can’t remove. I’m just gonna get a preloaded android box and use it until it dies.
Triple M: "Do you agree with my assessment to EXCLUDE Chinese boxes..." Also Triple M: "I recommend the Xiaomi..." Sorry, dude! Hahah! Had to do it. Thumbs up, though. At least you are looking forward.
I am on the FTV Cube. When this OS update happens....Does that mean the apps I have on there now will not work? Or I won't be able to update them? Also What would be the next obvious choice to go from The FTV Cube? I also want to make sure I can use Ethernet as well.
They haven't confirmed if they'll push the new OS to older devices, but I think they will. Now, if you don't use 3rd party apps, this change will not affect you.
They don’t expect Current fire tv devices to get this new update , plus your cube will still get its updates for years to come . Vega is based on Linux OS and will use a more web forward application model . This will be on future Amazon devices , So it should not impact devices currently out there
As of today, Fire Stick K Max, still beats all 5 of these devices. As for not be able to install apps. That's later down the line. It hasn't happened yet. Black Friday $35 deal still better than any of these.
Your spreading wrong information Amazon have said that all fire sticks will be updated and supported until 2028 so get your facts right and tell people the facts
Agree onn box is a great alternative to FS but with its Bluetooth disconnecting from remote every couple of days ( on several devices) this is the only downside to this device i can find. Hopefully a firmware update will sort the unpairing issue as its so annoying.
I currently plug in Firesticks into Roku TVs so I don’t use the Roku functions. Firesticks will be thrown away when they no longer function for me. I don’t use the smart function of my Visio and LG TVs either. They aren’t useful. Just give me a good monitor and an app that integrates local channels and streaming apps that isn’t proprietary.
I’m keeping my Roku, simple and easy to use. it’s senior friendly and affordable. All this other stuff you’re speaking of is for someone thats just a tech geek.
Then you're missing out. It's ridiculously easy to install 3rd party apps on Android devices and customize them the way you want because it's an open system. Hell, my 78 year old father had no problem figuring it out.
I don't know about that new fire stick and it's pretty snappy. I have both and my new fire stick is give my Nvidia shield to run for it's money@@6crowns
Good video! Do you know of a streamer that can broadcast to other devices in order to send out to the rest of the homes steamers and TV's? Also is the Onn Atmos?
Someone please help me out here. Third party applications like what?? I'm trying to figure out which to buy and I have no idea what I'll be missing if I get an amazon firestick. Will I be able to use Express VPN or Nord Vpn on an amazon firestick???
yes u can use VPN but they are saying an programming update to the fire stick is coming and it might reset all parameters n functions totally different to prevent third party down loads
@@phelexdroid5079 What are some examples of these third-party downloads?? I'm a Firestick dummy here so I don't know what I'd be missing from third-party downloads
Just so everyone knows, Amazon ditching FireOS based on android is incorrect. What Amazon is using its new OS is for smart displays and smart devices excluding its Firesticks. This information comes from Amazon itself. Please dont fall for such videos.
Thank you for the recommendations. Yes... Chinese devices are the worse so no point in waistng time or money there. Also I think you should've added Roku to the list since basically, it is the same as any other of the devices in the list. Now we can argue about the interface, which is horrible but still works and is a very solid device. However it is customizable if you jailbreak it. I do have a question about one of the devices you listed. It is about Chrome cast . Didn't Google announced that they will no longer support these devices, making them obsolete soon? Or maybe I misunderstood.
Thanks for this one , I have been using firesticks and an old meecool box that has been great , butt I know it's time for something new and I've been ot out of the game too long to know what's what , and there are way to many junk mallware boxes out there , this was really helpful, you know your stuff so I'm subbing
Amazon will use its new operating system on future new devices. Current devices will remain on the Android-based operating system until the end of their lives.
Onn box is not available in uk , and google lacks storage big time yes you add it but for uk there is a new device due out on chrome cast . Agree with your choices but why exclude the shield it’s a beast of a device and will handle anything you throw at it , next to Amazon 3rd gen cube it’s £50 more for a superior machine
Okay did Amazon say they're gonna actually on record do away with third party apps... I don't think they've,but youtubers keep putting this stuff out..
I have A Roku Ultra and Google Chromecast with TV. i don’t like Amazon Fire TV stuff. It sucks and it’s way to slow and has doesn’t function correctly.
Please tell or show me that Amazon itself has publicly stated that they are changing the OS on current FireSticks or Cubes. Not job postings. Not rumors. Publicly stated.
THE NEW ONN 4k PRO STREAMING DEVICE JUST DROPPED!! This is the best Firestick Replacement!! Full Review - th-cam.com/video/m2guty_uK-A/w-d-xo.html
I still download everything the same with my firestick 4k and I haven’t had any problems.
spent a fortune on boxes over the last few years,whenever theres a problem the streaming company blame whatever box your using ,not their server
I like the Firestick and will wait to see what the updates actually and truly entail.
Get a mini PC and connect it to your TV with wireless keyboard and track pad

yes u can use VPN but they are saying an programming update to the fire stick is coming and it might reset all parameters n functions totally different to prevent third party down loads
@@phelexdroid5079 What are some examples of these third-party downloads?? I'm a Firestick dummy here so I don't know what I'd be missing from third-party downloads
For example, IPTV downloads.
I use android boxes. If you know what your doing they work great. Just dont get one with the lowest specs.
Whose you were attached to on downloads. I would say.
All of these devices should have bare minimum storage of 16 to 32 GB.
Laptop HDM cable lol
I have been quite pleased with the onn box but downloading third party apps is a little more difficult than the fire stick
Why? Are you using Downloader? I've found no difference side loading apps.
Just so everyone knows, Amazon ditching FireOS based on android is incorrect. What Amazon is using its new OS is for smart displays and smart devices excluding its Firesticks. This information comes from Amazon itself. Please dont fall for such videos.
Thank you for the recommendations.
Yes... Chinese devices are the worse so no point in waistng time or money there.
Also I think you should've added Roku to the list since basically, it is the same as any other of the devices in the list. Now we can argue about the interface, which is horrible but still works and is a very solid device. However it is customizable if you jailbreak it.
I do have a question about one of the devices you listed. It is about Chrome cast . Didn't Google announced that they will no longer support these devices, making them obsolete soon? Or maybe I misunderstood.
This is also for fire tablets
I believe so. They are already rolling this it out in echo devices
Thanks for this one , I have been using firesticks and an old meecool box that has been great , butt I know it's time for something new and I've been ot out of the game too long to know what's what , and there are way to many junk mallware boxes out there , this was really helpful, you know your stuff so I'm subbing
Amazon will use its new operating system on future new devices. Current devices will remain on the Android-based operating system until the end of their lives.
Onn box is not available in uk , and google lacks storage big time yes you add it but for uk there is a new device due out on chrome cast .
Agree with your choices but why exclude the shield it’s a beast of a device and will handle anything you throw at it , next to Amazon 3rd gen cube it’s £50 more for a superior machine
The new Onn box has 32 GB.Onn 4K PRO Streaming Device Is Here!! THIS WILL DESTROY THE FIRESTICK !!

@@johnsnow7836why not ask Amazon US to ship,to Uk …
Can Tivimate be used with the Onn set up?
Yes.
Don't use any of those. Wait for the new onn pro or get a g1 box.
Walmart Pro , C’mon Down lol 😊
I bought the Walmart device on your recommendation. Great pick and affordable.
Thank you for taking the time to present this information looking forward to following your Channel God bless
Damn, I just got the firestick 4k for my projector!
The best box is the mi box hands down
Okay did Amazon say they're gonna actually on record do away with third party apps... I don't think they've,but youtubers keep putting this stuff out..
I like the google tv more than the firestick because i can look at my photos on my tv while on the fire stick you cant
I have A Roku Ultra and Google Chromecast with TV. i don’t like Amazon Fire TV stuff. It sucks and it’s way to slow and has doesn’t function correctly.
Firetv stick 4k works great, web browser way better than other devices
The NEW Onn 4K Pro that's starting to roll out this week will be a game changer!!!!
Got one. I don't see any difference from the 4k as far as performance goes. I don't think it's worth the price difference.
Can't put Downloader on the Google TV chromecast 4k
Really? I can
❤❤❤ love my firestick
now I undertand why they are on sale each 30 minutes, they are not selling a 💩, returning mine
I have one work great 💪😎👌 thanks for the orientation you are the best ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Is not True .Fire stick Max is the best .
I love my Onn!
Please tell or show me that Amazon itself has publicly stated that they are changing the OS on current FireSticks or Cubes.
Not job postings. Not rumors. Publicly stated.
Why are they all with only 8 gigabytes of rom.
