Walmart may be discontinuing its Onn Streaming Stick and 4K Streaming Box

by epictetusdouglas

Hope not. Maybe release an improved box.

How is this a story? Nobody at this site seems to have actually reached out to anyone, or even tried reaching out to anyone at WalMart.

This is the meat of the "story:"

It’s unknown if Walmart is just having supply issues and the devices will someday return, but being unavailable in nearly all locations isn’t a good sign for Walmart’s commitment to these devices.

The writer is literally admitting they don't know what they're talking about, LOL. In fact, It's almost dead certain this linked post is due to the writer lurking HERE and taking a previous post about not finding one of these as easily, (linked to IN the article) and turning it into a "story" for 5-10 bucks at this site.

For folks that use it - hope they release a new model that would be nice. Seems this device has been one of those rare super exceeds expectations and value though can't say I have any direct knowledge since I don't use/own one.

No surprise, it's Walmart. These are one and done.

At this price tag that’s nothing comparable. RIP

FML. I just got the reccommendation from you all to get one. So I went and bought one. It was open box, got home and realized there's no remote. Gonna see if they'll give me some money back on it and keep it, especially now that I read this. I ordered two online from Walmart. Guess I'll never see them?

Oh, that would be too bad! $19.88 for the onn. 4K box is a great, lower cost option!

Picked up the box recently, great little device, perfect for travel. Was going to recommend it to my dad. Hope it sticks around.

I got lucky today. I was in one of my local WalMart shopping and I saw they had 1 ONN 4k box left. Yesterday they didn't have any. So I grabbed it up. I already have 2 and love them. This one will be a spare unit just in case.

Anyone know of a good alternative to it if it is truly done for? I have one now (love it!) but thinking of buying a few as a backup. Still good to know what else is out there, as most of the other options (Roku, Firestick, Shield) have one thing or another I have issue with whether it be app options, ads, price, or lacking the ability to easily root and flash my own OS onto it all while having that sweet 4k video and being able to EASILY control my tv source and power as well as my sound bar's volume through IR

Wow. I literally was 1 week in time! I love that device. For the price, it's amazing. I have a shield and a firestick 4k. That device is the best just for the price, features and functionality.

This was bound to happen. Too many streaming devices on the market and most are cheap like this. Market consolidation was inevitable.

Would love to see the device branded as something else on Ali, but I think you're talking about just a generic android box... Not the same thing.

Sad to see this if it really happened.

Have been using Onn TV box for a year now and have no complaints what so ever. Best bang-for-the-buck on the market imho.

Oh man that would totally suck, I actually prefer them in her the 4K FS

Chip shortages due to their BS 'Proxy War' AKA Money Laundering OP.

They have the onn box at Amazon for slightly more, that's where I bought mine

It's done. Out of stock everywhere

Just buy it off Ali Express. It's just rebadged from there anyway.
