The Best Android TV Box of 2024: Stream Faster, Smarter, and Free!
What is the best Android
Hello everyone, and thank you so much for stopping by our blog, The Best Android TV Box of 2024: Stream Faster, Smarter, and Free! We’re D3vicx (pronounced “Devices), your go-to experts in customizing and sideloading premium streaming devices. Our mission? To give you the ultimate luxury streaming experience—for free. With our devices, you can stream anything, anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
So, what’s the deal with finding the best streaming device? Since 2020, companies have had time to create their top-tier devices, yet many just threw together mediocre options. Let’s face it—most of the "recommended" streaming devices from YouTube or Reddit are not worth it.
Why do YouTubers and Reddit users push these bad recommendations? YouTubers often make money when you buy through their links, and Reddit users just echo whatever they’ve seen on YouTube. But we’re here to tell you the truth about these so-called "top picks."
How We’re Different
We’re not here to hype up cheap, popular streaming devices like the Firesticks, Onn Box Pros, or Chromecast (aka Google TV Stream). In fact, we call these streaming devices, “trash can devices.” Why? Because every time you buy one, you’re throwing your money away.
Here’s the truth: within 6 to 8 months, these devices will start buffering—and it’ll never stop. You’ll try everything to fix it, but nothing will work. Want to know why? Stick around, because we’re breaking it all down below.
Let us explain why.

What Makes an Android TV Box the Best in 2024?
Hardware and Software can be both 32-bit or 64-bit, which do you have?
Trash can streaming devices, I mean budget-friendly streaming devices all share one major flaw that most YouTubers and Reddit users don’t even mention: these cheap devices are running on outdated 32-bit operating systems. That’s the real reason they start buffering after a few months, but no one seems to talk about it.
Here’s the deal: streaming device hardware and software can be either 32-bit or 64-bit, and the difference lies in how they handle memory. A 32-bit system can only address up to 4 gigabytes of memory, which isn’t enough to keep up with today’s streaming demands.
Here’s how it works: Data or programs need to load into RAM before they can run. First, data moves from the slower hard drive to the faster RAM. Once it’s in RAM, the CPU processes it. But on a 32-bit system, when the RAM fills up, the device compensates by constantly shuffling data back and forth between the hard drive and CPU. This process causes delays, making your streaming device sluggish and frustrating to use.
Most people don’t talk about this because they don’t know how 32-bit systems work. I had to look it up myself, but once I understood, it made total sense why all cheap streaming devices end up buffering. Devices like the Onn Box Pro might brag about 64-bit hardware, but it’s misleading—what they don’t tell you is that the operating system is still 32-bit.
If you’re curious about your current device, there’s a free APK you can download to check whether your hardware and software are truly 64-bit.
So, what makes the best Android TV Box in 2024?
Both the hardware and software need to support 64-bit architecture. On top of that, the device should have a powerful CPU and GPU working together, with at least 3GB of RAM (more is even better). This ensures smooth, fast streaming without the dreaded buffering, even with high-quality content.
Another important factor is control. You want an Android TV Box that lets you decide when to update it, rather than being forced into unnecessary updates that could mess with your setup.
Before you buy, ask yourself: What do you want the device to do? Are you planning to use it as a Plex Media Server, or just stream through Plex? Do you want a device that can handle video games, or are you focused solely on streaming?
One thing is certain—nobody wants buffering. To avoid it, you’ll need to think beyond cheap devices. Premium Android TV Boxes that cost over $150 and run a true 64-bit operating system are worth every penny. Anything less? You’re just wasting your money.

What is the Best Android TV Box of 2024?
Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro still King of all streaming devices!
The question of the year is: What’s the Best Android TV Box of 2024? Easy—the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 with tweaks. But hold on, this isn’t 2021 where you could just grab one, plug it in, and call it a day. Nope, things have changed.
Now, if you want the best experience, you’ll need to pick up a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019, a Type-A to Type-A cable, and a USB controller.
Wait, what?
Yes, you’ll need to flash the system and downgrade it to Android 9 v8.2.1, like it’s 2021 again. Why? Because Android 11 on the Shield is a nightmare. If you stick with Android 11, know this:
The software is unstable.
You’ll probably have to disable the Plex Media Player in Settings -> Apps -> Show All Apps just to stop the buffering.
Crazy, right? But hey, Firesticks and Onn Boxes aren’t easy options anymore either. Honestly, if you’re even thinking about them, just take them back and upgrade to an Apple TV 4K 128GB at the very least.
But back to the real deal: What’s the Best Android TV Box of 2024? It’s our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro.
Why is Our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro the Best?
Here’s the secret sauce:
We flash the system back to Android 9 to stabilize the software.
Then we load our Elite System, a customized launcher that hosts 55 APKs, all working together seamlessly to give you access to premium TV entertainment—for free.
Sound like a lot? That’s because it is. Setting up a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 takes time and expertise. That’s why we created the Elite System—a rinse-and-repeat process we use to transform every Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 into a premium powerhouse.
What Can You Do with the Best Android TV Box of 2024?
No Home Screen Ads on our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pros
Enjoy luxury streaming with paid TV content for 100% free. That’s right—never pay to stream anything on this Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro. Cancel all your subscriptions and save that money for something better, like a vacation (don’t forget to pack your device). Stream anything you want anywhere in the world—all you need is an internet connection. Travelling? Pair it with a travel router for easy access to your home network.
With this device, you can stream:
Movies, TV series, and anime from every paid subscription app—for free.
Live premium cable channels, international channels, sports channels, live sports events, PPVs, and instant replays (on-demand).
Plus, you can add Hyperspin retro gaming for an even more robust experience.
Why We’re Different
We’re on a mission to master the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. We’re here to prove that YouTubers who trash-talk this device don’t know what they’re talking about. For them, it’s just a hobby. They’re not professional loaders like us. Back in the day, you could learn from skilled YouTubers who actually knew how to load devices. Now? It’s all hype and no substance.
Every premium streaming device we touch turns to gold. Think about it—how many sellers do you know that offer Jailbroken Apple TV 4Ks or focus exclusively on just two streaming devices? That’s called mastering the best of the best. Not everyone is up for the challenge, let alone the lifestyle of pushing these devices to their full potential.
As the legendary Bob Proctor said:
“If you're going to let what you do be based upon what you hear & read, you better make certain the people who are giving you the advice are getting PHENOMENAL RESULTS!”
And that’s what we deliver: no buffering, no freezing, no crashing—just seamless, free streaming every time.

Why the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 Is Still Unmatched in 2024
Smooth streaming for live Sports & PPVs
The Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 remains unmatched in 2024 due to its versatility, including the rare ability to downgrade its software—a feature almost unheard of in the streaming device world. While it's common to downgrade a computer’s operating system, doing the same with a streaming device? That’s next-level flexibility.
This device allows you to upgrade or downgrade to the software version that works best for your needs. Personally, I prefer downgrading to Android 9 (v8.2.1). Why? It eliminates buffering issues, removes those infuriating home screen ads, and restores compatibility with Hyperspin for retro gaming. Plus, it still functions seamlessly as a Plex Media Server. While going back further to Android 8 is an option, Android 9 strikes the perfect balance—supporting modern Xbox and PS5 controllers alongside the original 2017 Nvidia Shield controller.
The storage options are just as impressive. Whether it’s connecting an SSD, NVMe M.2, or a NAS drive, the Shield TV Pro 2019 adapts to your storage needs effortlessly.
It’s also the only streaming device offering real-time AI upscaling enhancements, making your viewing experience sharper and more immersive. Features like these solidify the Shield's position as the pinnacle of streaming devices.
No other company seems willing to put in the time and effort to rival this level of innovation. For most other streaming device manufacturers, it’s all about having a "horse in the race," not creating a truly extraordinary customer experience. They prioritize shareholder profits over the customer’s experience. This isn’t Steve Jobs-level of thinking for these companies, it’s more like business as usual.
Nvidia, however, has always sought to redefine computing—and they succeeded with the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. It’s so far ahead of the competition that others are left green with envy. (Fitting, since NVIDIA itself is an acronym that symbolizes this innovation.)

Comparing the Nvidia Shield TV Pro to Other Android TV Boxes in 2024
Non-Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro running Android 11
How can we even compare? Honestly, it’s not a fair competition. The Nvidia Shield TV Pro stands in a league of its own. Most other Android TV boxes in 2024 may start out great, but sooner or later, they run into the same issues: buffering and lagging. Across the internet, people everywhere complain about these problems.
Why Does Buffering Happen on Other Devices?
Buffering seems inevitable on most other Android boxes, and I believe it often stems from their 32-bit operating systems. The issue becomes even more noticeable after your first device update. In places like NYC, there’s an added complication: internet providers can detect when you’re streaming third-party apps (like on a Firestick) and throttle your internet speeds to slow you down. While the exact reasons vary by device, the experience is always frustrating.
Yes, internet providers can see what you’re streaming on a Firestick, which is why people are constantly told to get a VPN. For Apple TVs, the solution is simpler: just change your DNS settings, and you’re good to go.
Why Don’t Existing Solutions Solve the Problem?
The main issue with other Android TV boxes is that you can’t always control updates. For example, TDUK once had an APK to block updates on Firesticks. But Amazon eventually worked around it, forcing updates onto devices. People using custom launchers to remove annoying home screen ads were left helpless. Now, in 2024, those ads are even more intrusive.
It feels unfair. You buy these devices, so shouldn’t you control what happens to them? Unfortunately, no. You’re not owning the product; you’re essentially licensing it. These companies decide what you can and can’t do with their devices.
Some companies take this even further. For example, Onn boxes are geo-locked, meaning they won’t work outside the USA—not even in nearby Canada, which also has Walmart stores. I’ve never heard of a premium streaming device doing something like this. Roku also locked people out when users found a way to sideload zip files to access free paid TV content. It’s getting out of hand.
The Real Problem
Here’s the harsh truth: the companies making these devices aren’t focused on solving your problems. They’re focused on solving their own: how to lock you into their ecosystem and get you to spend more. It’s all about enshittification. They make you feel like you can’t live without their product, turning it into a part of your daily life.
Even worse, many YouTubers back these cheap devices without addressing their flaws. They slap a Band-Aid on the issues and hope no one calls them out. Well, it’s 2024 heading into 2025, and I’m tired of it. Solving these problems takes real work, and it seems like no one wants to put in that effort—except us.
How Does Our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro Solve the Root Cause of Buffering and Lagging in a Unique Way?

We dug deep to find the root cause of streaming issues like buffering and lagging. The answer lies in the hardware and software: you need a streaming device with 64-bit architecture, at least 3GB of RAM, and an optimized operating system.
The Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 already meets the hardware requirements, but its real issue is the Android 11 update. Our unique solution? Flash the device and downgrade to Android 9 v8.2.1, a stable and reliable software version that eliminates buffering, lagging, and even those intrusive home screen ads.

No Need for Paid Subscriptions: Our Elite System eliminates the need for debrid accounts or paid VPNs by integrating 55 premium APKs for free, click-and-play streaming.
