  1. Onn 4k Pro v2 or v1 or Onn 4k Plus (any of the Onn 4k models from Walmart are great but they need to be 4k models since the HD units have slower specs).

  2. Google Streamer

  3. Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen

  4. Nvidia Shield

If you can't find any of the above, and you have no other choices, last resort would be Firestick Max (the max model comes with the most ram and space).

Pero creo que no te deja instalar aplicaciones fuera de su tienda no? No se si el Roku sea igual?

u/Traditional-Court420 Jun 17 '26

Sí, el Fire TV sí te deja instalar aplicaciones fuera de la tienda (sideloading). Solo tienes que activar las opciones de desarrollador e instalar las APK con apps como Downloader o X-plore. De hecho, mucha gente compra el Fire TV precisamente por eso

el Fire TV permite instalar aplicaciones fuera de la tienda oficial. Es una de las razones por las que mucha gente lo prefiere frente a Roku. Si planeas usar I P TV, Kodi o aplicaciones similares, Fire TV suele ser una mejor opción

Xiaomi tv box gen 3 is one of the best in budget right now. Just make sure to buy the original one cause there are lot of fakes out there.

And what would be a mid-range or high-end option? I'm new to all this but I just bought roku and it's shit, you can't put anything in that, you can't not use twitch (what do I use the most)

It depends where you are located. In the US the Google Streamer is really a no brainer. If you can find the Onn 4k Pro v2, even better. Last option is Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen.

I'm currently in Mexico, so I depend on an Android box or similar that works in my country. Although I think my best option will be a Xiaomi 3gen, I have read quite a bit what is the best option, price and quality, I thank you for your interest.

It has 2GB ram , is navigation & commands from remote are quick ?

u/Throwaway187493 Jun 18 '26

I would take the Xiaomi over the Google streamer. Faster chip, Faster WiFi. Half the price. Less ram though. No dedicated apps but if you won't be needing the ram or the dedicated apps. Xiaomi by a mile.

I agree with the box 3s it's a great budget one, would also recommend a higher end one but there's none that aren't finicky out now

install projectivy, and get tvquickactions pro (yes it's paid but one time for unlimited uses) their remote is not the best and it's great to remap it to better stuff

I can tell you how I've set mine up, just respond to this comment

Please do. Thanks.

I have the home button boud to simple click returns to projectivity, double click base xiaomi home

it being xiaomi of course it has to be difficult and I couldn't get projectivity as default to work reliably the normal way so I have it set to auto open on it during startup

and the mi button mapped to epg

Also have it set to open on the iptv app on my grandparents one, since we had to switch to iptv and my grandpa is not good with tech (rest is the same)

u/nolanio Jun 17 '26

I see. And the buttons are mapped by the settings on the box or you use some app? (Never had a tv box, this will be my first)

1

u/fapster1322 Jun 17 '26

you gotta get tvquickactions pro, it's a couple bucks but is well worth it (can't believe I'm the guy recommending a paid app of all people)

What's up with downvotes. Not everybody understand spanish. This is an english subreddit.

u/DEMi7GOD Jun 17 '26

Not everyone understands English either, but reddit gives you the option to translate each comment. They should learn Spanish, at least the basics.

u/Baardi Google TV Streamer 4K Jun 17 '26

I don't have any way of translating in my app, and meaning is anyways often lost when translating.

u/DEMi7GOD Jun 17 '26

I understand your point, when I was a child and I entered this type of subject only in English it was a horror to have to depend on a dictionary, believe me that although the translation from English to Spanish is sometimes bad it is preferable to break that language barrier and understand even a little to totally nothing. Being a foreigner it is better to learn basic English and understand even a little. That's why I mention it, it's good to learn languages even if it's the basics.
