Veteran IKS user...new to IPTV...

Wondering if there is any discernable difference in picture quality between devices or does it just come down to internet speed or IPTV provider...buzzbox / nvidia shield / firestick max 4k?

That would depend on the devices output resolution, RF, video, component, 480, HDMI at 720, 1080 or 4k, and what your viewing it on and it's input resolution, my firestick max 4K does great into my JVC 4K HDTV, but it's hard to find 4K programming but when I do it's WOW.

Also most 4K programming (if downloading from the internet) needs at least 6 to 8 Mbps to get true 4K levels, my download speed is around 75 to 100 Mbps so I don't notice any difference.

according to analiti you need 25 or higher otherwise it will constantly buffer

I used to have 25 max so the only way to watch 4k was to download it
now that I have it doubled I can stream it
