@Slash402 Okay, so here it is.
I attach two "alternative" idbloaders, you can try both of them to see if something changes.
I strongly suggest you to do these tests on a sdcard rather than emmc. If something goes bad on the sdcard, swapping it is easy. If something goes bad on emmc, you will soft-brick the board and need to force it in maskrom mode (it is not pleasant task to do).
 
If you want to go the sdcard way, you will need to first erase the eMMC completely using the multitool, then just burn armbian on sdcard and boot the tvbox with the sdcard inserted.
 
The devices are:
sdcard = /dev/mmcblk0 emmc = /dev/mmcblk2  
To backup the existing idbloader:
dd if=/dev/mmcblkX of=idbloader.old bs=32k skip=1 count=4  
(change mmcblkX with the device you choose, so mmcblk0 if you choose the sdcard way, mmcblk2 if emmc)
 
To burn a new idbloader:
dd if=idbloader-333mhz-1.16.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=32k seek=1 conv=fdatasync  
(again, change mmcblkX accordingly as above).
 
then reboot and see if something changes.
You can also try idbloader-333mhz-alt.img idbloader using the same command.
