Great video and Troy got right 2 the point. Question how do u work the speaker on this and Is there a way to make It work with 3rd party ap's? Howcome some people got a white remote or basic black like I have and not the 1 with the backlight button that's highlighted In Blue and say's "Live TV"?

[@troypoint]

@@BigFredddy68 thanks for the comment. I go over much of this in my review - troypoint.com/onn-4k-pro-streaming-device/ Not sure why that rumor ever started about the backlit remote. I haven't heard of anyone who has one yet.

@@troypoint Question I have 2 ONN Boxes and neither 1 has the Remote with the Backlight (Big Blue Button that say's" Live TV" missing) also when I click on Settings then click on Privacy scroll down there's NO option for Google Assistant or Purchase History can somebody please help? THANKS

Note: I didn't test all launchers with the star button. Some of them may support it but not all of them.

Very cool. I will probably buy this app. For now I am using the free version of Buttons Remapper. The free version lets me program only two buttons. I primarily use it to program the super sensitive Netflix button on my NVIDIA Shield remote so that it does nothing when accidentally touched. I never use Netflix. It can be highly frustrating and disruptive when the Netflix app launches while I'm trying to stream a show on a different app.

[@lightwiz267]

I wish I could find someone making button covers. So when I change the Netflix button to Kodi, it would have a Kodi button cover.

[@pedrorosado9534]

That’s a great idea, if anyone could come up with/that they could sell to chord cutters. Maybe like 1/2 dozen to a sticker. I.E. , Kodi,tvmate, settings, downloaded, vpn, and whatever. I’d buy a few. $$$$maker idea😂😊

Has anyone been able to connect an Air mouse or keyboard with a usb dongle on their Onn 4 k pro? Mine connects to the external hard drive but won't recognize any of my keyboards or air mouse. They all work fine on the Fire Stick.

How does tv quick actions compare to Button Mapper? I was able to enable a third party launcher on an ONN stick without using launcher manager using Button Mapper. I haven't opened this newest ONN device yet.

[@bradarmstrong1747]

Can you create shortcuts to actual TV controls? For example there is only one power button. It is used to turn on my Samsung TV. I need another power button to turn on my Visio sound bar.

Since the Android/Onn remotes do not have a Previous Channel button or dedicated Play/Pause buttons, can you show how to do that with the Panel or with any other button like Bookmark or dedicated app buttons at the bottom. Example: Single press the Bookmark button for Play/Pause, Long press the Bookmark button for Previous Channel. Thanks for this video.

[@cag8334]

Note: The old Onn White AndroidTV remote has a Bookmark button, onGoogleTV and this black remote it looks like a "Profile" button.

[@GaryRiley4017]

Onn TV and Google TV use the "OK" button for these functions. press it once and it pauses, press again and it plays, press and hold and it goes to your previous channel.

[@cag8334]

@@GaryRiley4017 I think that works depending on the app developer recognizing those button presses, whereas a dedicated button or remapped button will send the native codes for those functions. I could be wrong but in Channels the Previous channel long press does not work.

I'm not impressed with mine, unfortunately. My onn Google TV device won't allow for HDR or Dolby. It only supports SDR on my 4K resolution TV. Also, that Google Talk Back? It's annoying as XXXX. How many people on the planet even KNOW what the word "verbosity" means? While it's a fun device to futz around with, I'm not impressed with it. But, that's just me.
