If you have to buy a replacement for a frontend only. I suggest the Amazon
FireTV 4K which is now about $25.00.  It runs Leanfront for the best
picture you can get including my 11th gen Core i7.  It also runs
mythfrontend and the picture is acceptable, but not as good as Leanfront.
Avoid the 4K Max as it has some issues I can't figure out with
mythfrontend.  But again great with Leanfront.
