Shield remote and ONN UHD box

by Avividrose

i lost my ONN remote and figured id do what i saw recommended many times here and replace the remote with a shield one. howver, each time i open up bluetooth, it quickly tells me it could not pair. are the devices just incompatible? or is it another issue?

my solution ended up being a 1080p CCWGTV, the shield remote connected on its way out the box and now i won’t have the overheating issue that the Onn box has. so i’m satisfied for now. any other ONN users, do not get a shield remote for ur box.

the chromecast remote does work with the onn box, but it has to pair via the remote pairing screen not bluetooth.

Why not just buy another Onn box? It's $20... That's cheaper than the Chromecast and the shield remote.
