Another updated TV box complaint…

So I regrettably updated my TV boxes to the new Android system and what a let down when you have high end TVs and the picture is way worse than the old boxes. On our one cheaper TV you can barely tell but 2 of our better TVs look terrible. It is not cables or anything like that and I messed with the settings but it is really just a cheap Android box that seems to compress the signal so bad it deteriorates. Has anyone tried just streaming the Telus app directly to the TV and not even using the **** boxes they supply?
