Box 4k R Plus - A Bad Buy

I bought this thing in February. So it's sadly out of the the 14 day return window. But this thing has just been absolutely terrible. And I'm just coming from the default built in smart tv of a 2021 Hisense U8G. It's a little faster and that's about it.

I've been fighting with getting it to work with my soundbar and CEC since I got it. And the past couple days it's been getting so hot that it throttles the internet speed down to 30mbps. Making it impossible for me to finish watching movies until it cools down. All this for $150 usd. I never rant but just in case anyone else is thinking of purchasing this and not running core elec or being your own tech support. Don't do it.
