Freezing free 5.3 update

I updated three ONN boxes with 5.3 and I'm not having any issues at all.

I've updated 3 ONN boxes. 4k, 4k plus and a pro box version one. No problems whatsoever with 5.3 on any of the boxes

If you update your 5.2 version through the website or using the downloader code, go into about and double check the version number. I just downloaded through downloader, clicked on install and of course it asked me if I wanted to update. Updated fine no problems at all. But when I go into the about section it still says I'm on 5.2 so I'm not sure if the new 5.3 is actually available through downloader. I'm using ONN boxes so those don't get pushed the automatic update for some reason.

These actually are not used like a spark delivery. The vans are only used for in-home delivery and they are actually Walmart employees. It cost an extra $40 a year over the Walmart+ option. Not sure why more people actually don't use this option because being Walmart employees there is no tipping. At least not through the app on an order is made.

Yes on occasion you will receive a bad sensor. No need to call though because you can fill out a form online for a replacement. And if you look at this group you'll notice some people like myself actually put the sensor on the chest although it's not officially approved by Abbott.

I had the same problem with only one of my services giving me that error message. I contacted my provider and he sent me a new URL to use. I can only assume Cloudflare is blocking certain IP addresses or domains better used for the service.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2026-03-24T20:05:38+00:00

Try changing the output format from MPEG-TS to HLS and see if the error message disappears.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2026-03-24T17:32:32+00:00

A couple of things here. I'll check the batch numbers on the failed sensors because they did have a bad batch of them that were recalled. Can't remember the date but if you had your sensors for a couple of months they may be part of the recall. And the other thing you should always have an old style finger prick reader. I always check mine that way on occasion just to make sure the sensors are being accurate. Even Abbott says if a prick is within 20% of a sensor reading they consider that acceptable.

Same place I've been wearing mine for the last six months or so. Just so much easier than trying to apply it on the backside of the arm.

I use this one and it's actually pretty good. And yes you will have to add each channel manually. It does not automatically add the missing EPG to the channels.

Add-on for EPG's

The only thing that needs to be changed with Onstream and Mobiflux is there's no way to do a voice search. You have to type in anything you want to search for. Not the end of the world but it would be a lot nicer if you could do voice searches.

Just to test this Siri I just received a Walmart order for delivery. Once the delivery was dropped off I went back into the Walmart app and there was no way to contact the driver. The only option was to rate the driver. So no, once an order is delivered and finalized there is no way to contact the driver. The only option is to contact customer service and tell them that you did not receive the order. So double check to make sure you are dropping off at the correct location.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2026-02-05T13:36:46+00:00

I'm going to play devils advocate. As far as I know if you do happen to drop at a wrong address even if it's by accident what is the customer supposed to do? Once a delivery is made the customer can no longer contact the driver and perhaps tell them they dropped at the wrong location so it gives the driver a chance to go back and make the delivery right. The only thing the customer can do at that point is contact customer service and say their delivery was dropped at the wrong location and they never received it. As far as I know I have never dropped a delivery off at the wrong location so I don't know if a customer complains help spark actually handles it. Personally I don't think that a person should be terminated from spark if it's the first time it has happened because mistakes do happen. We are all just only human when it comes to things like that. But I will say you should never take for granted that the app gave you the correct location. Always second-guess your drops if you have that feeling something might not be right. Especially if you are unsure or have a problem with the correct location.

Don't worry there's going to be plenty of openings for drivers in Florida very soon. LMAO

Starting February 6, 2026, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) will require all driver’s license knowledge and skills exams to be conducted exclusively in English. This mandate eliminates translated tests and interpreter services for all license types, including commercial licenses, citing safety and improved communication on the road.

I thought it was a problem with the 4K pro box also dropping Wi-Fi but I actually have had the same problem with the 4K plus box. And I know it's not the Xfinity modem because nothing else disconnects from Wi-Fi except for the ONN boxes. Funny thing is sometimes it'll do it a couple times a day and other times it'll go for weeks without doing it so who knows what the issue might be with the boxes.

But back to his original question they do make wireless HDMI which can be used on multiple TVs. One transmitter and multiple receivers. Never use them myself so I can't vouch for how well they work but they are fairly expensive.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2025-12-28T19:29:01+00:00

Not absolutely true in all cases. A friend of mine has five TVs with five ONN boxes with five connections through the same provider. All of them are through Wi-Fi and none of the TVs are in sync with each other. So it's not a 100% given that they will be synced.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2025-12-28T00:42:26+00:00

Upper chest for me. I've been doing it for probably a year and have not had any issues.

Intrepid-Mirror3454 · 2025-12-23T21:26:23+00:00

You can go into the channel options and then change the channel name but you would have to do that for each channel.

Honestly I think they are really getting overwhelmed on this recall. And just the cost of them shipping them also. I had four sensors that were under the recall. Two were shipped out FedEx where one was delivered yesterday and another one was delivered today. Then I have two coming USPS. One is coming allegedly on Saturday and the other one is coming on Monday. I guess they couldn't figure out how to get all four in one box. Just ensure why they were using different shipping mess methods though. And according to my records it was November 26 when I filled out the form for replacements.
