I have a brand new A5X Pro box but every time I watch live tv it kicks me out after 30 seconds. I tried my older MXQ pro instead and that works fine. Any ideas why this isnt working?

Are you referring to an android tv app or a kodi addon? If the latter, which addon?
Please provide a bit more info so we can help better.
I dont know much about the A5X Pro box. Is it Droidbox supplied?

If kodi, you might try this

Disable amcodec from System - Video (expert setting level) - Acceleration - Allow hardware acceleration (amcodec) - OFF.

Dont know if this works under kodi 17. Which version you running?

The add-on is Genie Tv but it works fine on my older MXQ Pro. I tried the amcodec but same happened. Running version 17.4

Ok. I checked and your box has a rockchip chip so the amcodec stuff would not work although if there are other options to force hardware acceleration you might try them.
Something else to try.
When you try to play a link, depending on what type of keyboard/remote you have, when you click on a link, see if there is a "play with" option (on a Droidbox device it is often the menu button, pressing the "c" button on a keyboard may also work). Select play with f4mtester. If f4mtester is not installed, install it.
