-  * **USA** the Onn 4K Google TV Streaming Stick is in stock at most Walmarts and will ship to just about any location in the US, and only costs about $40 USD. It is particularly well supported by the HDHomeRun app: https://www.walmart.com/ip/ONN-4K-STREAMING/18355665352+  * **USA**

 +    * **Top-of-the-line - ** the Apple TV 4K, even if you don't have other Apple devices. It still supports all of the major streaming apps, our own app works very well on it, and it's one of the few options that is very easy to use and doesn't put advertisements on their home screen. https://www.apple.com/us/shop/goto/buy_tv/apple_tv_4k

 We don't actually recommend this option. Most built-in "smarts" in today's smart TVs will be "outdated" long before the actual TV stops working, and because of that, we tell customers to not worry about what "smart OS" the TV actually runs. Buy the TV with picture quality that you want, at the price that you want, and then if the built-in smarts don't meet your needs, then go with an external HDMI device tucked behind the TV set. Most will integrate with the TV enough that you won't even need multiple TV remotes. We don't actually recommend this option.

-If you really want to buy a TV with built-in support for the HDHomeRun app, then look for TVs that specifically advertise running "Google TV", "Fire TV", or "Roku". These are sold under many brans, including Sony, TCL, Hisense, Onn, Element, and more. +If you really want to buy a TV with built-in support for the HDHomeRun app, then look for TVs that specifically advertise running "Google TV", "Fire TV", or "Roku".
