Agree with these benchmarks. I tested this device myself and it is no way as good in performance as the FireTV 4K devices especially the Fire TV cube. It really didn’t like streaming from my home network NAS. Agreed it is half the price but as always you seem to get what you pay for.

Yea those benchmark scores were pretty disappointing.The fact that it rates worse than the first gen baffles me,sure there are some great new features,but why skimp under the hood?

To keep cost down and affordable to match other competitors I bet.

Was happy to purchase the new walmart onn 4k pro box yesterday but have a question. Anxiously awaiting for Troys’ review to help with setting it up. Question…for anyone who has one whats the best way to transfer all my stuff to the box without taking ALL DAY to do it or should I just wait for our leaders review? THANKS

I think it depends on what you mean by “all my stuff”. For instance

imho, is the easiest way to put the latest up to date apps on your device, quickly. Apps like Stremio only need to be installed and logged into for your entire setup to be immediately applied. Same should go for Syncler and similar apps I suspect. VPNs, install, log in and do a little config. I’ve found that setting up a device from scratch takes less than 2 hours and IMHO is the best way to do it. That way you might actually bypass any mistakes you made in an app on previous devices. I am not entirely sure but I have heard of those who put a TiViMate backup onto an USB Drive and then once they’ve installed a new TiViMate install they then do a “restore” data from that drive to have all their stuff, but never tried it personally.

I have done the TiviMate backup. I have transferred it to my phone and restored. I now just copy the backup to my Google drive and copy it back if I need to restore it. Works perfectly.

I’m not sure about Transferring anything. It’s a new Box and I’d just start from scratch. In terms of the ONN Settings obviously you first need to turn on Developer Options. Beyond that search for Troy’s 4K ONN Video setup. I imagine the settings in the Pro are similar to the 4K. Not sure what you use but next I’d grab the Downloader App and go to Troy’s Toolbox for what you need there - KODI, Tivimate, etc…And finally delete any of the Google Bloatware that you can and don’t use. I’ll be grabbing one of these Pro’s as soon as I can

Someone trying to sell on Ebay for $150 plus $9.95 shipping :rofl::rofl:

I’m tentative about spending $50 when available by me with the lackluster reviews so far.

I hope no one buys that but i am afraid someone will.

Edit… Already lowered to $100 +shipping. :grin:

Thanks Miki, I still think, because I don’t want to burn my whole sunday up I’ll wait for Troys review which could take a while…and I know, I just being lazy but there’s something to be said for enjoying retirement :blush:

Lol. I am also retired and relish the challenge. But I totally get the waiting for Troy’s Tutorials, they sure help. I got use to watching the them on my tablet, while configuring a new device, as I could then pause and rewind if I didn’t quite get something the first time. After about your 6 th device setup whether Android TV or Google TV, you pretty much know what and when to click. :robot: Although TBH I don’t do Kodi, Syncler, or Orion which take a tad more effort IMHO, and authorizing RD in a new device app is simple with having RD shortcuts already on my phone.

After a few days of trying the 4k pro it runs very well, every app and I have 12 on board. Every app loads quick and does what I like to do! Stream. The only issue I have is the the ethernet but wifi 6 does a fantastic job! I have set my shield pro off to the side and gonna give this box a chance to show how good it can be. Im not worried much about the benchmarks, this box runs great and snappy! So far?

The best way to learn a new box is to set it up. Might be awhile before Troy get’s one.
