So I got one of those cheap Chinese boxes. Installed Kodi. Was working OK but Saturday night everything was stuttering (Netflix, my streaming channel, Plex). Switched to my regular smart TV and everything was good. Is this most likely because of the box?
What do you think????

You're going to get a biased answer here because this sub is for official Android TV devices. You may as well be walking into /r/iPhone with a Chinese KIRF ripoff iPhone and ask for help.
Maybe next time you won't get a Cheap Chinese Box.
With the limited amount of ram the boxes have you have to make sure there aren’t android apps running in the background. Also increase the buffer size in kodi will help. Keep your build small no extras like widgets and such as they will take up your memory as well while kodi is running, then use 720 links instead of 1080 if you are steaming. Also use an Ethernet cable instead of WiFi. Other than that I don’t know what else you can do
To be more specific, it was a Greatever T98: CPU :S905W up to 1.2 GHz, Quad core ARM Cortex A53 GPU : Mali-450 penta-core, fino a 750MHz+(DVFS) RAM : 2G DDR3 ROM: 16G EMMC
