Commenting for engagement metric purposes, not something I was personally interested in but I ALWAYS watch your videos.
Thank you! What do you like to watch ?
@@LonSeidman I'm a big fan of the Plex stuff... you're the only one I'm aware of doing anything like it and it's GREAT as I am a lifetime Plex Pass subscriber! Having watched you many years I am aware of the fact product reviews drive a lot of your revenue, and you have said before that those reviews help make Plex content possible. Thus why I'm commenting. 👍
@@LonSeidman Question I have 2 ONN Boxes and neither 1 has the Remote with the Backlight (Big Blue Button that say's" Live TV" missing) also when I click on Settings then click on Privacy scroll down there's NO option for Google Assistant or Purchase History can somebody please help? THANKS
Found my 2021 Onn 4k box recently and started using it again, but this one has me intrigued. Still waiting for a proper Shield replacement
Thanks Lon! You covered all of the remaining features! Fantastic! Greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the update i appreciate these deeper drives into products
Why test it with exFAT but not NTFS? I imagine most who connect any type of external drive will be in NTFS so that would have been useful to know.
Thanks Lon! Very good information!
Great work, as usual!
Thanks for the follow-up
Thank you for the video!
@LonSeidman I personally have tested audio DACs with my Onn Pro, and have gotten some to work! I have tested my Presonus Audiobox USB and Audinate Dante AVIO-USB, both working fully out of box.
The only DAC I tested that did not work was the Behringer UMC202HD.
For anyone interested!
Thanks! I should get a few more for testing
would a usb-c dongle (the one that work well with android and iphone) work with this device bro ?
is it possible to use the box also for sound output via its inbuilt speaker when the box is connected to a speaker less monitor
Im thinking about buying it
What type of web browser can use
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
good point！
I'd love a video on your "box of stuff" I'm sure you've got some cool and random stuff!!!
It’s actually the entire basement at this point :)
Hi Lon. I have some external hard drives formatted for FAT32. Would they be recognized by this new ONN Box. Thank you.
Please, can you tell me if the device is also able to write to the exfat usb? I want a streaming device that is able to read and write to a format that it is not limited by fat32's 4gb limit.
I'd be interested to see if a USB cable tuner would work with this
We hooked up a USB webcam to ours and ran Google Meet on it! The trick is plugging the camera in, then rebooting, and it worked great.
It worked fine on mine without rebooting but the app is very limited.
You mentioned you were unsure about devices that had a button for remote finder. Well, my Roku Ultra has a button on the side that, when pressed, triggers a remote finder ping. Not sure if it has other functions, like factory reset.
How do you forward and backward the recording?
i wonder if you could go into the google home app, and set it to send audio to a different device, for example itself, i know with the google mini I can set it in the google home app to send audio to Bluetooth speakers, or even the no longer sold Chromecast audio, instead of the hdmi device the tv in this case.
Dang, I wish I mentioned some questions about Emulation Performance. Maybe you can do a text followup about emulation in a community post?
Do you have a 2.5 gigabit usb adapter to test to see if ti works well with it?
will it up confront everything to doby vison and doby autmos 4k
Well I don't know how you were able for the external hard drive to work but I was able to get the mi box s 2nd gen to work
Hi Lon, do you have any insight about why this is shipping with three different types of remotes? I received mine today and was crossing my fingers that I'd get the backlit version, but no dice. Evidently there's also a third variant with an extra button (or two?). Seems like a total mess!
I have the original model for $20 and with the projectivy launcher it’s a game changer. I’m curious to know if you changed the launcher on this, would it negate its Google home speaker functionality.
Can use it with my logitech harmony elite remote with hub ?
Does it also support NTFS?
Can you cast music to this device when TV or monitor is off? (i want to use like nest audio)
Is there a way to turn off the feature when I ask Onn 4K pro Google a question it turns on the tv and speakers to answer the question? If I tell it to turn something on it does without turning everything on, but I cannot find a setting to not have it to just answer using the Onn speaker and not the tv, etc.
Hi Lon, do you test these off brand Andoid boxes for malware? That's important if you're entering usernames & passwords etc.
Where is the list of available streaming channels? Is the box software & apps supported by ONN or Google or both? Thanks!
can you plug a usb flash directly into the box because everyime i do it says its ethier not connected or its ejected how can i fix it?
I can't get my wireless mini key board to pair via the USB dongle. Any suggestions?
How to forward, backward and pause a recorded game from you tube tv?
I'm curious about retro gaming, how far it can go with good performance. Like Nintendo 64 full speed via standalone emulator or RetroArch.
Really want to find spme decent usb type dacs that dont break the bank. Thanks for this.
Is there a cable to hook multiple streaming boxes together to sideload more boxes at once no one has a answer theres got to be a cable cause i know nobodys sideloading 1 box at a time .
Lon, I can't get my USB to work with anything. Is there a setting I'm not turning on? I tried a mouse, a USB drive, and a video file. nothing works.
Thanks Lon! Great video. Do you happen to know if Tailscale will work with this? Trying to maybe get this as a Plex box that I can take with me on vacations and such :)
It should be compatible but it looks like Tailscale is in the process of updating their app and right now it's not installable on any Google TV. It should be there soon though. The extra ram will certainly help. Apple TV supports it too with the added bonus of having it work as a gateway device to non-scale devices on the network.
@@LonSeidmanThank you for your help :)!!
From all the videos of this item that I have watched, it seems there are about 3 different remote controls and it is basically a crap shoot as to which one is in a given box. The one that seems to be the most desirable one is the back-lit one. Did you get the back-lit one with your device? And regardless of the options, how has the voice control with the remote been going with yours?
Got the cheap remote unfortunately but the finder works at least. Voice control is very good on this - a key strength
I got the black remote, no backlight. the remote works great, voice works great. The white remote is the same as the black, just different color. I have the white remote with my original onn 4k 2021 model, it works great now as well, except when I first bought the 2021 onn 4k, the remote disconnected occasionally but was soon fixed by a software update. I guess I like the remote I got because I am already familiar with the key layout as it is the same as the remote from the 2021 box I have.
How about streaming Steam games from a local PC?
Can you please test Steam link app, built in Ethernet, USB Ethernet and wifi?
Also, if possible, using moonlight and sunshine?
I was hoping you'd test a DAC. I'm assuming I'm the developer options, you check the default USB behavior?
Yes - although see a comment in here from another viewer who did get a few Dacs to work
Can this be hooked up to an HDMI splitter? I tried and my Samsung tv does not recognize the input when it is connected to the splitter
The splitter will need to support HDCP
Hey Lon, do you still have the puck (Asus Nexus player)? I'd love to see how it competes with today's TV box's
I think I have it around here somewhere
@@LonSeidmanhi, can a fire tv cube 3rd gen write to an ntfs usb drive? I know it reads ntfs formated drives but i read somewhere it can't write to them and i was wondering if you could confirm it. Also, can this box also write the exfat drives?
The onn pro4k box is awesome, works smoothly, 4k picture, hey Google to ask it any ? Like the echo dot . It's a better built of a box .fully sideloaded with so much ,I like it is it worth 50. It's questionable ,but I just think it works great.
you went from Xfinity cable internet to 10gig fiber. bravo, bravo.
check out the journey! lon.tv/gigpro
remove the dongle attacked to the ethernet adapter, the more things you have plugged into a single port, the slower it is.
how about an alternate UI launcher? I want an ad-free device
Yes, other content providers have shown other launchers can be set-up and used (Wolf launcher, Projectivy launcher, etc).
Additionally, apps like 'Button Mapper' or 'Button Remapper' can be used to remap virtually any button (but particularly the four advertising shortcut 'app buttons' at the bottom of the remote (which Amazon blocked on their FireOS devices).
@LonSeidman HI LON I APPRECIATE THE VIDEO. . I GOT THIS BYT HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE STUFF GOES OFF SCREEN LIKE DOCTOR WHO. THE DOC IS CUT OFF THE LEFT SIDE. RIGHT SIDE THE PROFILE AND SETTINGS ICONS DONT SHOW BUT I CAN CURSER OVER AND USE THEM. ON THAT MENU I SEE THE WIFI AND BT ICONS BUT NOT THE WORDS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT RESOLUTION AND DID A FACTORY RESET. I HAVE PICS IF THAT HELPS
I was disappointed a bit with this product and I’ll continue using my fire TV cube 3rd gen but thanks for the video regardless!
Anyone have an issue with their USB Port not working?
what about vpns ??.. surfshark express vpn
ip vanish ?...
I got one yesterday. IPVanish works as well as Proton VPN.
Thanks for the update Lon. Going to pass on this device. No reason to upgrade from the previous model right now especially if they can’t standardize on a remote. Why pay the same price for a less useful remote?
You should make a video of you going through your box of stuff. But don't go through it before filming so we get your reaction of "What the heck was this again?" :D
got the onn 4k pro and tv still freezes up
Must be your internet I have 3 and all work great
I call my box of stuff the radio shack box.
Facebook’s algorithm put a radio shack nostalgia group in front of me the other day. So sad what we lost.
Test atsc 3 tuner 😅
Yes, that $60 GTMedia USB stick seems like a low cost combo...
Lon, though this box is claimed to be 'fully-certified' to work with all the major apps, I have read that it is NOT certified to work with the main BRITISH streaming apps (like 'BBC iPlayer,' 'All 4,' 'iTVX' and possibly others), though it might work on 'Channel 5' and 'Gold.'
Even though the ONN boxes are not sold in the UK or Canada, there has been strong interest there and some are paying premium prices to purchase from eBay or other sources.
Not only would they be shocked to discover these boxes couldn't access those popular UK apps, but British ex-pats and American Anglophiles would likely feel ripped-off (as FireOS devices ARE certified to work with those apps ... or most)!
Anyway, none of the TH-cam content providers are mentioning this issue. Can you ...
1.) Verify if this is true.
2.) Find out WHY they aren't certified, if they're not? Might they be in the future?
3.) Find out if they will work to access popular Canadian and/or Australian apps?
Keep up the great work!
My guess is if they are not available in the UK market they likely would not want to go through the expense of certification.
@@LonSeidman
I suppose. I have no idea what quantities of cash are required for certification. Seems like the demand in both countries would be high (especially with Amazon torquing-off so many customers ... soon to be 'former').
But, I certainly don't know the financials. I DO think that those Brits, Canadians (and possibly Australians) deserve to know the boxes specific limitations before spending their money, though.
Thanx for the response. I have been a subscriber of yours for a couple years now.
No Cloud Gaming sad about that.....
Just get a WAPPLE tv. Smoover.
Why do you even need gigabit speed?
95% of owners of this box don't even need that kind of speed.
Plugging an adapter into a non gig port doesn't make that port gig. It only can intake data at the rate the installed plug can handle. The adapter is giving false readings.
He's NOT plugging the adapter hub into the 10/100 Ethernet port ... he's plugging it into the USB-A 3.0 port!
The adapter is producing CORRECT readings.
$20 onn box is better buy at $50 go with name brand roku
I bought a $14 ONN streamer in early 2022. It’s already useless junk- so slow to load apps and scroll as to be unusable. You get what you pay for.
Roku is trash full of ads I prefer Android.
@@alliejrI been rocking one for the same time and its rock solid.
@@alliejr the $14 ONN Stick only has 1GB RAM the $20 box has 2GB way more usable bought it back in 2021.
I love my $20 Onn boxes. I'll admit this isn't a big upgrade for the $30 but I bought 2. I like the remote finder and the Ethernet port.
Will it support NTFS format?
