IPTV hardware

I have the fire stick that I’ve been using with my IPTV and I’m at the point where I can’t stand it anymore. It’s so slow. I know there are some other hardware options out there, ONN box seems to be the best alternative but there’s also some more expensive options (formuler, nvidia, Apple TV…). Anyone here using something other than Fire stick that can recommend something else?

I watch our IPTV on a Shield TV... Have had it since 2017, still blazing fast. We use TiviMate as the app, it's pretty powerful for what it can do on customizations.

Can you just get a newer firestick?

I had a Fire Tv Stick 4K Max and it did the job. You can sometimes catch a sale on Amazon. Now, I have a Formuler z11 Pro Max. I paid $200 for it. It has a built in IPTV app and I haven't had any issues so far.

We use a combo of the recommended devices. Shield Pro and Apple TV 4k for our main TV and Onn and Tivo Stream 4K for bedrooms and other TVs.
As said by others the Nvidia Shield Pro (I'd avoid the Tube model) works great. It has been around for a while but it still holds its' own. It supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.
The Onn boxes work well, especially for the price. The memory can be expanded via OTG adapter if you wish. It doesn't support Dolby Vision.
The Apple TV is fast and has a clean interface. Its' biggest drawback is if you want to sideload apps. There is an app called Tivimax that is basically a TiviMate clone. It supports Dolby vision and Atmos and is the best at auto framerate switching.
Another budget choice is the Tivo Stream 4K. It is $25 at Amazon now. You can ignore the Tivo part or even De-Tivo it if you wish. It has a good remote. It supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It won't do 24p Dolby Vision though.
I would try picking up a cheap ONN and Tivo Stream and seeing if they meet your needs. They are both cheap and you could return them easily if you don't like them.
