My mother is looking for a TV box that can download all of the following:
Disney Plus
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Showmax 2.0.
Because her Hisense does not support Disney Plus or Showmax 2.0
Any suggestions? Because we don't have a clue what to look for.
 

What Are Walmart's Onn Streaming Boxes? Are They Worth the Money? - muo​

Are Walmart's onn. streaming boxes worth picking up over the more established competition?

Walmart's in-house tech brand onn. has been providing affordable electronics and accessories for years now. Of all its offerings, onn. 's line of streaming devices is particularly impressive. Here's everything you should know about Walmart's onn. streaming boxes.

onn. Google TV Full HD Streaming Device​

Onn. 's most affordable option is the onn. Google TV Full HD Streaming Device. The stick offers you full 1080p HD streaming quality for under $15. That's a price you're not likely to find any lower with a rival brand such as Amazon Fire, Roku, or Apple TV.

onn. Google TV 4K Streaming Box​

If the Full HD Streaming Device is onn. 's alternative to Chromecast or Firestick, then the onn. Google TV 4K Streaming Box is its direct Roku or Apple TV competitor.

Priced under $20, the Streaming Box ups the quality of the Streaming Device from 1080p to 2160p for only $5 more. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal on streaming tech anywhere else.

onn. Google TV 4K Pro Streaming Device​

The 4K Pro Streaming Device includes 4K UHD streaming capabilities, Dolby Vision HDR with Dolby Atmos audio, an improved remote with customizable buttons, and built-in support for Google Assistant. It also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity, two firsts for the onn. streaming brand.

Availability is sparse because demand is high, but that'll surely improve with time.

Walmart's onn. streaming devices are a very attractive alternative to popular competitors like Chromecast or Roku. With prices ranging from less than $15 to less than $50, users can enjoy full 1080p HD or 2160p UHD streaming quality with a voice remote included. You likely won't get that nice of a price anywhere else.

That said, the one potential drawback of onn. streaming devices is their lack of brand recognition compared to industry giants like Roku and Apple TV. Despite their impressive features and competitive prices, some may not want to opt for a lesser-known brand.

Nevertheless, these onn. devices are an unbeatable option for budget-friendly streaming.

Are onn. Streaming Boxes Worth It?​

No matter which way you look at it, Walmart's onn. streaming boxes are all very much worth the price. From the Full HD Streaming Device's $15 price tag to the new 4K Pro's remarkably cheap $50 cost, these onn. products pose a serious threat to the competition (if only the brand name was a bit more recognizable).

You'll likely struggle to find a better deal on streaming devices than what Walmart has to offer with onn.

Cheap and cheerful - just feel from reports of issues with them that I would rather buy something more traditional.

But they sell a lot off them, so maybe the issues I have read about are not that serious. If things work, people don't moan.

Not noticed them freely on sale here, either.

Possibly worth a try

Yes it does work well, but I prefer the 1st Gen (prior to the upgrade that screwed it up LOL).

5.1 sound is very finicky, it works sometimes, sometimes not. Unable to customize the home screen with channels I prefer to see, no date/time on the home screen, no custom screen saver (minor issue), exiting an app takes you to the HOME tab, not where you last were, etc etc

Small niggles , but it added up to the point where I won't recommend it.

Walmart’s New Streamer Just Killed the Chromecast | Onn. 4K Pro Google TV Review - Digital Trends​


Yes, really. Chromecast with Google TV is actually closing in on its fourth birthday, and it’s never really had much competition, especially when it comes to price.

But Walmart just ended that with the Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device. That’s a bad name for what basically is a Walmart-branded Chromecast. But the name on the box is the only place you’ll actually see any Walmart creep happening.

Boot it up, and you’ll feel like you’re using a Chromecast — only this one lacks the lag that we’ve had to put up with for years in Google’s hardware.

And what’s more is that Onn’s has a built-in speaker and microphone array, which basically makes it a Google TV version of the Amazon Fire TV Cube, and at less than half the price.

So we’re in a pretty intriguing place. Google shows no signs of replacing the Chromecast anytime soon. Walmart has something with an even better experience, for just $50.

The only hard part is being able to find one, as it’s sold out pretty quickly.

Don’t buy a Google Chromecast — get the Onn 4K Pro instead

Walmart's $50 Google TV streaming device is better than Google's. That's all there is to it.

Been using my Mibox S (4S I think) for about 5 years now. Works without issue since I bought it.

I also got the MI TV Stick in December for my office TV and it too has been working great.

The Mi Box S with Android 9 was still the best. I wish I was able to downgrade from that abomination of Android 12
