Thank you.

Can you share the steps or guide which you used @Jason Duhamell @remlei if you were able to get armbian working on this tv box ( MXQ Pro 4k 5G)

I used Orange Pi PC Plus image but you should try Orange Pi PC image first and see if it can boot, if it does you can try the Plus image and do a nand-sata-install in terminal to install armbian to emmc, though there are likely chance that it may not be able to detect the internal storage since newer mxq box with allwinner h3 contains emcp.
