Don't have much to worry about. There is no camera, You have to turn on voice, its not a on all the time passive system and I mostly watch antenna TV.
Thank you for trying to help, but I don't really follow. I see 4 numbers there. One is kbps, which I think I understand. The other numbers seem pretty low. Does that mean a 5mb internet connection can stream 4k video?
What about bandwidth? To get a high quality and higher definition picture, the amount of bandwidth required is significant.
It is easy the provide a higher resolution picture, making it higher quality requires far more resources.

What about it?
If your hardwired it’s fine. If your wireless, you’ve got to deal with buffering. If it’s disc-based, then HDMI feeds it to the tv perfectly.
All my TVs are fed by DirecTV via hdmi for traditional and a variety of Internet services fed by Ethernet.
Most 4K content I watch is delivered by internet providers through Cat 5 cable to the back of the TV.
In the graph I posted, the units are in MegaBytes per second and KiloBytes per second. Technically there's 8 bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, but there's also overhead in each data packet blah blah blah........ A quick estimate is to just multiply by 10 - so downstream (the blue line) averaged around 2.25MBytes per second, or about 22.5 megabit. The peak when it started the stream, when it buffers a bit of the video to make sure it plays smoothly because internet connections tend to fluctuate a lot, it peaked at 18MB/s or 180 megabit. That peak just means the video for me would start sooner than say someone with a 30 megabit connection, but both would play fine assuming the connection stayed above that average 22.5 megabit.
Screen size and viewing distance play large roles.
The last-gen 50” 720P plasma in our bedroom still has a remarkable picture from across the room.
But if it was a 100” screen, it would look like crapola.

Thank you. I supposedly have the big 25 mb package, but that's only when no one else on the tower is trying to do stuff. Perhaps in time I'll be able to get better. Just a couple of years ago 5mb was the best I could get.
I need an 8K set to play some Battlefield V on!
What... wait a minute, my new Nvidia RTX 2080 TI does not support 8K?
What do you mean the new $15k Samsung Samsung Q900R 8K TV only support 8K at 30Hz. That is just criminal...
I guess I will have to wait for the next version, and be satisfied with 5860 x 1200, not even 4K...

I bought a 55" 4K TV (LG refurb) last Christmas for $450. Looks great, but I still like the 42" 1080 one in our bedroom almost as much. 4k is an improvement, don't get me wrong, but it's not like the difference between 720 and 1080.
