With 32 GB of internal storage, users can record content and install all the best apps and APKs without worrying about running out of room.
One thing to note is the Formuler Z11 does not support Netflix in HD so users of this service may want to find an alternative option.

A close second in the race for Best IPTV Box is the NVIDIA SHIELD.
NVIDIA provides two different streaming devices that vary in price, storage, and more.
The NVIDIA SHIELD TV and NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro are both high-powered streaming devices that provide the ability to side-load apps not available in the Google Play Store.
4K video capabilities are provided in both versions of the NVIDIA SHIELD with Dolby HDR & HDR10 Vision.
The main element of these devices that make them so powerful is the built-in NVIDIA Tegra X1+ processor.
However, both devices cost a hefty price tag that is much steeper than the average streaming device.
NVIDIA Shield Notable Features:
- 8 GB or 16 GB Storage Capacity
- micro-SD card slot for Stick Version
- Dual USB Ports for Pro Version
- Ethernet Port
- Google Voice Control
- Compatible with our #1 VPN Provider
Currently, the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Stick is available for $149.99 and the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro is available for $199.99.
We suggest spending the additional $50 and going for the Pro model if you can due to the additional benefits.
The most popular streaming box among cord-cutters and streamers is the Amazon Firestick.
Due to its low price point, sideloading capabilities, portability, and more, it has made its way into millions of households worldwide.
This device works fabulously for IPTV Providers with simple navigation, VPN compatibility, and much more.
The main reason this device has gained so much popularity is due to its side-loading abilities that allow users to install 3rd party apps outside the Amazon App Store.
This is often referred to as “jailbreaking” the device for free Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, Games, and more.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the most popular model of the Firestick, but there are other budget-friendly versions available as well.
All Firestick devices work fabulously for streaming IPTV, however, we suggest purchasing the Firestick 4K Max
Fire TV Stick 4K Max Notable Features:
- 4K Streaming Capabilities
- Dolby Vision & Surround Sound
- Amazon Alexa Voice Remote
- 8 GB Storage Capacity
- Compatible with our #1 VPN Provider
Currently, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is available for $54.99.
4. MECOOL Boxes
MECOOL is a well-known manufacturer of Android TV Boxes that produces powerful, IPTV boxes running the true Android TV 10 OS.
The MECOOL KM2 is their best box on the market, but they also offer several other variations of MECOOL Boxes.
With large internal storage, MECOOL Boxes make a fabulous choice for Recording IPTV and saving files.

While the Firestick is the most popular device for Amazon, it is not the only choice available.
The 3rd Generation Fire TV Cube is another option for an IPTV box that offers the same capabilities with some added features.
The major advantage the Cube has over the Fire TV Stick is its internal storage and hands-free capabilities with built-in Amazon Echo.
If you are a fan of smart speakers and voice technology, this device is for you. The Fire TV Cube easily lets you turn on and off the tv, open apps, and even play content, all without touching a single button.
However, the price of the Fire TV Cube 3 is more than double that of its brother device – the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
Fire TV Cube Notable Features:
- Added Amazon Alexa Voice Remote
- 4k Streaming Capabilities
- Built-in speaker
- Far-Field Voice Support
- 16 GB Storage Capacity

The all-new Chromecast with Google TV launched in the Fall of 2020 and is quickly becoming a go-to streaming device.
With an added remote and Google Play Store, use of the Chromecast will no longer require a mobile device or tablet.
In addition, the Chromecast with Google TV runs Android TV OS which means we can side-load our favorite apps for Movies, TV Shows, and more.
While the internal storage is minimal, users can also attach a USB C Hub for added storage capabilities.
With an updated interface and a reasonable price tag, many are opting for the new Chromecast with Google TV as their streaming device choice.

Final Thoughts on the Walmart onn. Android TV Box
This is the perfect streaming device for secondary televisions within the home.
What I mean by this is that the onn. Android TV Box is no NVIDIA Shield but it’s good enough for most TVs that I use in my house. I currently use an NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro on our primary TV in our family room. I do this because I want to take advantage of the up-scaling and additional audio/video formats that it provides.
But, I don’t run an NVIDIA SHIELD on every television within my home as that would be expensive and overkill in my opinion.
The onn. Android TV Box is perfect for those who want a great streaming experience at an incredibly low price.
Many of you don’t give a rip about video / audio formats and if you’re one of those people, this is perfect for you.
I personally like Android TV better than Fire OS found on the Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Cube. Also, Android TV allows us to run 3rd party launchers such as Wolf Launcher and Amazon has cut us off from using those.
During my heavy use while testing, the unit never felt too hot which is a common problem often found on these cheaper Android TV Boxes.
The Fire TV Stick is currently the most popular streaming device but that could quickly change if onn. addresses some of the shortcomings covered in this review.
As of this review, you may purchase this device at most Walmart locations or through their Website.
Currently, the Android Onn box is available for $19.88. Link
