So it's a streaming stick like firetv, Roku and onn devices, just what we needed another device to stream the same apps.
Everything was in place for TiVo to take the lead.
Even this streamer, they screwed it up when they could have integrated with their DVR boxes.
Mind blowingly inept.
Now they (or the company that bought the original TiVo Inc) are getting out of the hardware business altogether.
Oh well, plenty of other good streaming devices out there though beyond this TiVo streamer. However, I am still riding my TiVo Bolt DVR +4 Minis with the fantastic guide & commercial skip until they die.

I just hate it that my streaming apps freeze on the Minis & I don't even try to stress the Bolt out for fear of breaking something.
But watching the shows I record anytime I want to in any room with good quality & jumping (not hunting) for the exact precise time in the recording or commercial skipping- ppl don't realize how nice that is.

This is the only stick streamer that has a separate USB data port for thumb drives. I load up 4k/60fps on it and play in my hotel room using VLC. Also, it has a neat feature that the remote automatically figures out the TV when you boot. So if you're hotel jumping, no need to manually reconfigure the remote each time. Killer.
I have a SHIELD, Fire sticks up the yanger, Fire Cube, Onn - and for travel this is my favorite. That extra USB port is clutch.
Usb C would be great if you did not have to use one of the usb ports to add storage. Mine has a usb thumb drive in one port, for adoptable storage and power in the other.
The other pain is having to setup a tivo account.
Since there is no root and custom firmware (that I know of), you might as well go for the $20 ONN. You are bound to get updates a bit longer too.
Actually I would avoid any device with just 8gb storage.
If you have been following the firetv sideloading drama you would avoid firetv all together. Screwgle chromecast boxes have started setting up "play protect" as a default option that you at this point can get around, but since they have kind of started down the same road scammerzon is on (looking at your installed apps and disable the ones they don't like), I would start looking at other options, possibly china boxes that actually come with usb ports and enough system memory to make them a bit more expandable. Possibly a linage build on a raspberry pi would be the cleanest path.. Screwgle and scammerzon are talking to your box as if their head quarters was in China, so pick your poison..
My Tivo4k lives in my parts box and only comes out when I have a idea that I think might get around its shortcomings.
I have it in my van with a USB stick full of movies for the kids on long trips. Works great for that
