While it’s fantastic value in the US, getting it to the UK is a total nightmare – and that’s just the start. In this video, I break down exactly why importing an Onn Box will cause you massive headaches, from purchase problems and hefty shipping costs to incompatible power plugs and a frustrating region lock.
But here’s the BIGGEST warning: If your onn Box receives a system software update while connected to a UK IP address, it will almost certainly brick your device! It detects the unsupported region, turning your investment into an expensive paperweight. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I’ll also reveal which essential UK streaming apps (like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, and My5) actually work… and which don’t. You might be surprised!
Save yourself the trouble and hundreds of pounds. I’ll share my honest recommendation and much smarter, hassle-free alternatives readily available in the UK, like the Thomson Streaming Box, which offers a near-identical experience without any of the importing drama.
