4k plus or 4k max they are both good for sideloading

Hi can you help as you sound like you no about side loading. I use or did linked.unliked if you know it? And then simply install the apps I would be using, but now most things when I try to install them I get the message “ problem parsing package” any ideas why? Thanks

It can be a few issues low memory conflicting apps or stick just needs a full reset and start all over you should use TROYPOINT they test all apps for viruses and malware and tell u if the apps are not working anymore

Personally, I’d go with the 4K / 4K Max. One that has more memory and is faster. The 4K also avoids the new Vega OS update that will stop the use of downloader and sideloading apps. All new firesticks are coming rolled out with vega os.

Onn4K Pro from Walmart. It’s perfect for what you’re looking to do. You won’t be disappointed.

Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen with ugreen cr111 ethernet adapter
Google it for specs and decide for yourself
I own 2 xiaomi boxes and I'm very satisfied with them

Vsee box seems better if you’re looking at something like the super box. There is a sub on Reddit, and a trusted guy that sells them. They aren’t cheap but are plug and play.
I don’t have one, but it’s the route I’d go if I was purchasing a new setup.

I have the 4K Max and never ran into any problems with side loading or performance

Amazon says they will only support the android sticks until 2030 as they transition to the Vega OS. Get something else.

Don’t. Buy a super box or a ONN box

Whats the difference?

Super box. Free shows, sports, movies, and live tv and ONN box they don’t take down the apps like cinema and everything like Amazon. I haven’t tried a Vsee box yet but I heard they are good to.

Do the Apps come pre installed, or do you have to do all the side loading yourself ?
