I'm just saying they can spy on you through the new TVs
That is what I was getting atNothing a little duct tape won't fix...
I don't think it's that ez. I think you have to have an account with them and I don't and there has to be a camera??? Don't think my TV has a camera???I'm just saying they can spy on you through the new TVs
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.If it's any kind of "smart TV" it sure has a camera and microphones, and you don't need an account to be spied upon:

Using this YouTube video as a test:

Note: The numbers are in KiloBytes/s and MegaBytes/s - so multiply accordingly for megabits
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.
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.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?
