    Do you know if there is a way to prevent or block automatic updates to the Android OS? It seems that when the OS is updated and the ONN4k restarted, it loses the ability to connect to ethernet and loses or trashes the connection to my USB memory stick. The only way to restore that is to do a factory reset and avoid the system UPDATE button. THen I can once again connect to the internet via ethernet but still have to reinstall apps and re-format the USB memory stick. Any ideas on this? Thanks.

    The cheapest Roku doesn't allow 5G. KZread is native on Google and Onn streaming devices. Not their Roku TVs. TVs with Google streaming service apparently never have Google Play's streaming version. I'd rather have more HDMI ports on a TV than a comically limited and hobbled streaming chip. My Vizio D-24's lAndeous streaming chip has neither GP nor 5G. Any time I need to change networks, password authentication is also required. Amazon's content allows a few extras with their devices. The only feature that might move me towards pricey streaming devices is an ethernet port
