We really do not know what you mean here.
No TV tuner hardware is accessible from any externally connected media player.
Plus I would not be using any of the Mi Boxes or the FireTV Stick 4K in combo with any sort of FTA interlaced TV content. Both have major problems with deinterlacing TV broadcasts. Avoid them.
Most IPTV is progressive video encoded content which any media player will be able to handle.
