    Would the sideloaded version of BBC iPlayer allow for 4K playback like the official one does on fire stick? That would be the only reason I wouldn’t want to maybe possibly replace it in the future is that Amazon allows you to change your account location if you don’t have an app officially in your store but if 4K playback works it’s a non issue.

    Speaking as someone who has tried a few 'TV boxes' over time, I'd always recommend a Roku device if on a budget.
    Amazon, last I knew didn't offer UA-cam or Google TV/Movies due to stupid disagreements. Whereas Roku has it all.
    If you have a bigger budget, consider an Nvidia TV shield, as it offers everything and is powerful enough for game emulation.

    Ref Ch4. If you have a ONN box in uk you’ll have a smart tv or Firestick probably already that can get ALL4?.?? the ONN are predominantly purchased for side loading. Who cares about ch4 on this device. Plenty of options to get that on your tv or current stick.

    Surely if you have a 4K TV it is already as smart TV with the ability to do everything you have shown, what is the use case for a device like this?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  2 місяці тому +2

      These boxes are far more versatile than most smart TVs, also my smart Tv that is only 3 years old has become frustratingly slow on the smart side, this has given my TV a new lease of life. Also with 4 times the storage of most smart TVs I can install even more apps.

    • @Steve30x
      @Steve30x 2 місяці тому

      You would think that and yes it can do everything this box can do if it's a Google TV powered TV.
      BUT all Google TV powered TVs are very very underpowered. Using a Google TV powered TV is a laggy nightmare because TV manufacturers use the cheapest and most underpowered chipset available.
      I've had two Google powered TVs and I've always stopped using the onboard os because it's frustrating how badly underpowered it is. And I don't mean I was using a cheap TV either.
      Not only TV but if your TV is an lg or Samsung you have very limited choice of available apps. With android TV or Google TV you can download the app for an app and install it on the TV or box. You have thousands more apps than Samsung or lg.

    Although it would be great to dump the OS and 'liberate' it. I, personally, find Google Assistant (switchable or not), having to use an account (metadata collection) and signing an agreement with no granularity to not agree to aspects still more of the same old crap. Add to this that the device is being sold by Walmart then one would imagine that they have a vested interest in that data. Why not show (collaborate with fellow techs) to try the aforementioned so that the user is not being used? Operators of tools shouldn't become the tool themselves.

      It’s a great device, I am going to connect it to my Sony Android TV which has become very slow and has limited storage for apps. So even though it cost me nearly £100 it’s still cheaper than a shield has more space and is much faster than the Android system built in to my TV, it has given my tv new life, so worth every penny.
