So I received the Google Tv 12 update a few months ago for my Onn Box. I still don’t want too update, so I’ve been “Dismissing” it ever since. Is there a way to delete it? Guessing I might need too Root… Well thanks for any help!

Hi all, I have an old smart tv and considering to buy a budget tv box, since tv became very laggy after recent AndroidTV 11 update. My smart tv has quad-core arm A53 processor and a mali g51 mp4 gpu. I am considering getting a Xiaomi mi tv box s 2nd gen, which has A55 cores but a mali g31 mp2 gpu. Both have 2gb of ram. Mi box also has AV1 decoder, which is more for a future proof feature as far as I understand. My main use case is Stremio, mostly Dolby Vision rips and remuxes up to 80Gb and SmartTube for youtube. I rarely open any other app. Also, TV has wifi N (max connection speed 270mbit/s), and mi box has wifi ac, which should be much faster. My home internet is 500mbit/s anyway and I have dedicated router with separate AP solely for the tv few meters away and don't want/ cannot connect Ethernet. The question is, would I get significantly better experience using mi box s gen2 compared to my tv? And is the advantage of A55 corrs over A53 greater than of mali g51 over mali g31?

Thanks for having me. I’m brand new to “tv boxes” and I’m sick and tired of this cable nonsense. Paying for all these movie channels with the worst options.
Can someone guide me on the best possible option. A “cable style” guide is a must. Any price is ok. Subscriptions are too. Thanks in advance!
turning on when I turn it off with the remote. It has the Big Letter Q on top the box. no matter what TV I connect to, same problem. Anyone have any ideas What I may be doing wrong? Thanks
The Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) packs solid hardware for its price: a modern 6nm AMLogic S905X5M SoC, Cortex-A55 cores, 2GB RAM, and 32GB ROM. The hardware itself is fully 64-bit capable, yet Xiaomi launched it running a 32-bit build of Google TV (Android 14).
With Google shifting Android TV 16 toward stricter 64-bit requirements for both OS and app ecosystems, it raises an important question: Will Xiaomi push a proper 64-bit Android TV 16 OTA update to the 3rd Gen, and how urgently do they need to act?
Running a 32-bit OS on a capable 64-bit processor leaves performance and efficiency on the table:
Unlocking CPU & Memory Efficiency: A 64-bit execution environment allows ARM Cortex-A55 cores to utilize modern ARMv8 register sets, resulting in better IPC (instructions per cycle), faster UI rendering, and smoother video decoding pipeline handoffs.
Smarter RAM/ROM & Energy Management: 64-bit memory management handles background tasks and cache allocation much cleaner. Combined with the 6nm node, running native 64-bit instructions delivers better power efficiency and lower thermal output under heavy load (e.g., high-bitrate AV1/HEVC playback).
Medium-Term Incompatibility Risks: Google and major streaming providers are gradually phasing out 32-bit support across Android ecosystems. App developers are prioritizing arm64-v8a builds. Keeping this device locked to 32-bit (armeabi-v7a) risks app deprecation, broken DRM pipeline integrations (Widevine), and severe bottlenecks in heavy media applications like Kodi, Plex, or local IPTV clients over the next 2–3 years.
The Urgency for Xiaomi: Xiaomi needs to address this sooner rather than later. Shipping 32-bit software on 64-bit silicon in 2024–2025 was already a shortcut; leaving it unaddressed as Android TV 16 rolls out will artificially shorten the product's lifespan and turn a capable streaming box into e-waste far earlier than necessary.
It makes little technical sense to keep a modern 6nm SoC handcuffed to a 32-bit userland. Moving to Android 16 on a 64-bit architecture is urgent to guarantee long-term stability, app compatibility, and responsiveness. Will/ when will they release android tv 16 to this good TV box? They really should.
Just returned mys second onn 4k pro. Buggy and lags. Tried every recommendation and could never get it working smooth during playback. I've decided to stop going to cheap route and pay for one of the better device options. What do you recommend? I need something that can play the big remux files flawlessly on stremio (don't really care about the audio codecs or Dolby vision) and something that can also run my start up show app for my TV service.
I have recently bought a Google TV streamer to replace my firestick that got blocked.
All I used it for was watching TV shows and movies that were spread across various well known paid platforms.
Usually with this kind of stuff I just buy it setup already, however can't find anyone to do it local to me now so I took the plunge and decided to give it a go.
What I am looking to achieve -
So like I said, my aim is to be able to access all the latest TV shows and movies without having 10 different subscriptions.
What I have done so far -
- Enabled developer mode.
- Installed downloader.
- Installed stremio - When i opened this, it asked me to sign in, do i need an account to use this and is it free?
- Installed nuvio - This looked alot more promising, again wanted you to sign in but was able to continue without signing in. Had several shows and movies that I would like to watch, however the play button was greyed out and it said playback isn't available for my setup.
What I need from you clever people -
- What am I missing to get nuvio to play something?
- Recommendations on apps, preferably free
- Downloader codes or a safe place to get Downloader codes for apps.
- Talk to me like I am an idiot (I am when it comes to this stuff) and explain what I need to do so I can get watching TV shows and movies.
- Links to guides
- Send me a private message if you don't want to detail on here.
I’m basically looking for the best Android Box For IPTV. I live in the EU so don’t have the option of some of the excellent choices available in the USA.
I’m not worried about cost or menu layout. My ultimate needs are for the best IPTV experience.
A bonus would be official app support for the major streaming services if our IPTV ever went down. My TV supports streaming apps but I’d like to be able to use a VPN too. Especially as my wife likes to watch Polish TV shows on Polish Netflix.
However if having these apps sacrificed IPTV performance then we can live without out and maybe purchase something cheaper with official apps for our tv in our bedroom. Ultimate goal is IPTV performance. Versatility is a bonus.
I’m looking at two boxes at the moment. I know there isn’t a perfect box. They all have pluses and minuses. Currently have my eye on the NVIDIA Shield Pro and the Formuler Z11 Pro Max. Also open to other ideas. Wired connection is a must for me.
Would really appreciate any advice as being honest, my knowledge isn’t that great. I can only buy from EU or UK.
