Solution
You may be able to use a USB HDMI capture device but if the HDMI out of the box is HDCP it won't work.
Kind of expensive anyway. Cheaper to buy a Tv or monitor with HDMI and have a second screen for your laptop when you aren't using the TV box.
Depending on which box it is, you can use Airdroid: https://www.airdroid.com/

Or, connect the android box via USB to your Laptop (using the power adaptor to power the box)

Or, install Kodi on your laptop.

Hope this may help.
