      Yeah but it wont work pretty soon. Amazon is ditching android and soon they will update current versions of devices rendering them almost useless. Fire products used to be good before amazon decided to tell us what we can do to things we bought and paid for. Those days are coming to an end and the cube is a total waste of money in the first place

    • @CordCuttersLI
      @CordCuttersLI  Před 7 měsíci +3

      Hmm, I wouldn't be so sure about Jimmy's Cube being updated to Vega. As of now, all that is speculative. Nothing official announced and a complete OS change has never been attempted on devices like these. Regardless, his cube will work through 2027 as is.

      I didnt mean cube would change os i meant newer models would have new os.

Fine one day then next day two devices have same issues, one of which is fairly new and clean.

    Agree with the upgrade to the box. I have found that with both the third party apps are more of a pain to load than the fire stick but better than the TiVo device. I still put the fire stick 4k max as the leader in streaming.

    the only reason to use the included HDMI cable is if you need to get the stick away from the TV in the case of wifi interference. otherwise, I'm guessing it will plug directly into the HDMI port on the TV? I'm guessing you can't power the device off of a 5V USB port either, which kind of stinks. I bought two of the original Onn Streaming boxes, and both of the remotes died pretty quickly. Will be interesting to see how these hold up.

    • @CordCuttersLI

      ​@@CordCuttersLI The stick is a loss leader, they make their money on selling you a power strip with surge protection. Come to think of it you should've a power strip to begin with. Also Netflix says you need 20Mbs to stream in 4K, the HD stick should have no problem. Your initial delay was just a hiccup.

    • @WoodgemanX
      @WoodgemanX Před 4 měsíci

      The stick is loss leader for Walmart, they make their money selling you a power strip, preferably with surge protection. Better yet, he should have had a power strip with surge protection built-in to begin with. Also 100Mbs is plenty fast, according to Netflix you need 15Mbs to stream 4K and 5Mbs for HD. Also the the delay he experienced was probably a hiccup because the system was overwhelmed by those 100 million bits of data.

    • @WoodgemanX

Wanted to try out the onn box and see how it works and compares to the firestick . I am having a problem every day when i first start it up, i have no sound ! The rest of the remote features all work but no sound. Am reading online that other people are having this problem as well ! I called walmart and the clerk suggested buying a high quality hdmi cord with a copper tip ! Another person online commented that he changed his hdmi cord and it fixed the problem for him ! Have you heard anything about this problem and if so your suggestions / thoughts ? Will change my hdmi cord out and see if that fixes the problem..

    There's a strong rumor that Amazon will be switching over the Firesticks to a Linux based operating system in early 2024. This is gonna wreck a lot of people who use the Downloader app. I'm thinking about buying a Nvidia Shield mainly because you can turn off the auto update feature. Something you can do on the Firesticks.

So it went be an issue on hooking it up even though I could use the short jumper HDMI cable that's in the box.I so have a big tablet to watch CZcams on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, 11 inch screen and it sounds better than the TV but I'm recovering from a stroke I had a little over a year ago and it's kinda hard to hold the tablet until I'm propped up against the bed and lay it propped up against my legs.

      No a stupid question at all. It will work on any monitor with an HDMI input. But if you're monitor doesn't have built-in speakers that work with Audio over HDMI, you'll need Bluetooth Headphones or a Bluetooth Speaker to hear anything.

      Great question! GoogleTV is actually the operating system, not a streaming app.

      According to Netflix you need 5Mbs to stream in HD and 15Mbs for 4K. I agree you're getting ripped off on Internet service. I'm paying that for 400Mbs down and 20Mbs up with Comcast.

    Do you still have to have to have Netflix and Disney? Why do you need a stick for those? The apps are already on the TV. I don't get it.

    • @CordCuttersLI
      @CordCuttersLI  Před 3 měsíci

      Well, it's a matter of having all your apps, both official and non official, on one device, rather than watching some on the TV and have to switch to the other device to get to apps not available on the TV.
      If you're not interested in unofficial 3rd party app, then a smart TV might be all you need. 😉

  • @The_Real_Indiana_Joe

    I wouldn't get a stick, I've had them and they overheat and not much you can do about it. I get the box, opened it up and removed the electronics. Then I drilled holes in the top and bottom of the case to allow air flow, then snap the case back on. They run much cooler that way.

    The included HDMI extension cable is there in case your TV is too close to the wall to plug in the stick directly into the HDMI slot. If you do not understand that simple design decision, how am I supposed to take your review seriously?

      You might be right. I've often felt that it was a waste to offer both at such a close price. For $5 more, it really makes no sense, economically, to get the stick. I haven't see these sticks at Walmart when I've been there the last few times.

      Nope. both versions (reportedly) support the exact same Wi-Fi versions: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac MIMO. That being said, I would not put it past Amazon to use a cheaper Wi-Fi chip on the stick vs. the 4K box. They do not list the specifics on that.
