I bought the Onn streamer from Walmart...not the stick...the small box. So far, I am extremely impressed with it. It seems to be just as fast as my Shield. It has 2 gigs ram and only 8 gigs of storage. I bought an otg cable from Amazon and then had to enable adopted storage. I plugged in a small 32 gig flash drive just to see how it works. So far, so good. I moved the Channels player app to it and now have a large buffer. However, one little weird thing happened. When I moved the Channels app to it, it could not find the server. I cleared cache and data, and it then found the server immediately. Next test will be to plug in my 2tb SSD and load the server on it to see how it responds. If anyone has already tried this give me a heads up so I know what to expect.
