I’ve not even tried adding storage on my 4k one.

Hi @AJS1 I have two methods. The first one is I used an app from the Play Store called “Send Files to TV” and installed it on my phone and my Android TV box.

With this app you can choose a file (Tivimate backup file) and directly send it to another device. In this case it was my phone. This app did its job but not much more. I think you need to have the app open on both devices for it to work correctly.

The second method I did was use a file manager called “File Manager +”.

I like the UI on this app and it has a cloud option to connect your google drive to it. This is where I copied my Tivimate backup file to and I like having a cloud backup of the file in case of a device failure.

I hope this helps and let me know if you need anymore info.

Sorry @Miki when I grab one of these I won’t be adding anything for external storage. I don’t need external storage and I don’t do this. I record like 2 times/year

I changed my location on the Walmart website to Hamilton, and sure enough the 4k Pro is listed. Not available to ship, though, and unfortunately a 4.5 hour drive for me to pick up. :rofl:

Spotted online at stores on the (North) East Coast (NJ and Long Island). Some were available briefly but most are listing as “not available” but at least they acknowledge the product exists now. Lol

No shipping available for me either yet so I’ll still be waiting.

Pretty sure you need to get it from a store in your local area only if you want it shipped to you.

WOW I choose another Walmart and Bingo! Was able to buy one. Picking it up tomorrow!

Yeah i know. I’m going to wait it out. Eventually they will ship to me. My Nvidia and Onn 4k boxes are working so no rush to upgrade.

Nice. Keep us posted.

Walked into WallyWorld in Georgetown Tx (outside of Austin) Sat afternoon. I found two if them sitting on the shelf. They both went home with me. :slight_smile: Got home yesterday and did a fresh install with both. I will confirm the 10/100 port. Speed Test hit 96up & down. The wifi 6 was at about 390/385.

I did find a few issues with programs that were not certified with Android TV 12. Google Play will not allow Analiti to even show up. Says not available for this device. I got older versions to work from the copy on my Shield. I found the Speed Test App to work well.

Didin’t see any TrueHd 7.1 support from Plex to this box But all the others seem to be there and work. There may be some work arounds to see if I can switch to a different transcode. The box does seep to Direct play some very large 4K files from plex with no buffering.

Its not gonna replace my Shield Pro devices. But so far, it is a really good $50 box. I will install these for a couple of Family members.

Yes I saw no shipping. I live in Cincinnati and about 25 minutes from that store but just got off work and home. To tired to make that drive. :joy:

Its a different power supply input than the reg onn 4k model, right?

What i’m personally looking forward to is how this box can function as a nest smart speaker. I was looking at picking another speaker up (about $50) and a review I read mentions this…so my line of thinking :crazy_face:…is a 2 fer :joy:

I have searched all the Walmart stores in my area looking for the new Onn streaming box. They all say they are sold out. One store had 1 left, but it was to far for me to take a chance on. Does any one know I might be able to order one online. I think some stores might have them but they are just sitting on a shelf some place. I don’t even see one on line.
