For android box, you can't upgrade it's Android operating system.
Example android box you bought a year ago come with Android version 6, but now (year 2018) the latest Android version is 8.1, you can't upgrade your android box's OS to latest version.

For smartphone (like htc), HTC company provide Android OS upgrade.
Smartphone you bought a year ago come with Android version 6, can be upgraded to latest Android version 8.1.

So isn't it better to use smartphone for iptv?
Some smartphone (like htc Ultra) come with display port on USB-C, and you can connect a USB-C to hdmi adapter and can output display to big LED TV.

Use this USB-c port to hdmi adapter (model HD-500).
This adapter come with power supply, will supply power to the smartphone.
So, the smartphone get power supply from this adapter and will not use the phone battery for power supply.
It is a Microsoft product designed for windows phone, it can work on android phone too.

Some iptv's apk cannot work on android box, but can work only on smartphone (either android or Apple's ios).
