My TV is Android based. So currently Kodi is installed directly. Just wondering if it's better to use external box with more RAM for better buffering etc.

External box is a better choice.
Better to get media box with "Android TV"
If you never experience "Android TV" before,
then you should try it.
There's 2 you can choose from-
The high-end Nvidia Shield TV-1K plus(not necessary if not a gamers)
And the affordable Mi-box-RM300+
2GB ram is more than enough.

Maybe my 1st post was not so clear. So, I'll be specific.
My current TV is running on Android 6 Marshmallow (sony 65w850c) having 2GB RAM & 8GB storage. I install Kodi directly from playstore and install video add-ons as per normal. Key-in those address etc.

So far, I have no problem watching movies, TV series but last week, I was watching SkySportsNews (Live TV) on EPL Transfer Deadline day, it didn't go well.

10 seconds play & it starts buffering. I need to stop the stream & play it again. PQ/AQ of the stream is good. I'm not sure the problem lies with

a) The stream itself. (because of live stream?)
b) Internet Connection (Unifi 30).
c) The TV (hence the thinking whether should I get an external box instead).

Kodi cache is set to auto clean each time Kodi starts.

Buffering when streaming is actually a normal process
