New information and help please

How are you all

Ok I am a pc networks etc specialist, I was the top spy ware anti virus in my area back in pent 4 lmao im catching on to the new tabs phones etc

And now the TV boxes. I studied the crap out of you tub and everything before buying a box first thing that I have found they said android boxes

We’re not like tabs as far as I can see they are except minor technical bs then I am just learning tonight on this site about all of the add ons

Of course common sense set fire walls virus etc and knowledge that it’s not officially kodi i knew most of that i have run that on pcs with pirate

Windows etc but I don’t know if it’s my crappie Internet or the software. I get tab freeze ups the legal paid for android cbs won’t stream smooth

Or right i lost count of whipes reloads flashing i just know that on the broadband it seemed fine now it acts like a dying box and seems to be more

Than Just software from my pc repair experience but I am looking to learn more about all this stuff and get a better box i got this one free the seller

Messed up with power cords etc got a full refund but I am really ticked off i tried for months to research and find a good box but this doesn’t have

Dolby digital optical outputs it’s a mxq 4k I think without it in front of me hooked up hdmi straight to the stereo system for best sound quality then

Hdmi to the tv the stereo acts like a hdmi switch

It’s not bad to start on and learn on but would be nice to figure it all out and get a better one down the road

Thanks so much
