Streaming 4k through Hopper3

[Bobby]

Mine works 5.1 with optical cable. Before it was 2 channels with the same setup.

Well that answers that. We are getting closer.

If your new 4K set is a smart tv you can watch 4K Netflix and You Tube videos through the set. I bought a new Samsung during Super Bowl weekend and 4K looks great using the built in apps.

If you don't mind me asking, what model Samsung did you get? All my tvs are Samsung and will probably get another. Also, what speed internet you have to stream 4k through Netflix and You Tube?

Thanks

Sounds like you need an unlimited Verizon plan 4k works great on LTE

Verizon 4G LTE unlimited is what I have. The phone clocks regularly 30 down and 10-20 up. A pc via WiFi Hotspot can be anywhere from 2-15 down. The best I've seen the Hopper 3 is 7.5 down. For me, Verizon will not cut it. The only isp is Windstream DSL @ 3/.675...

I have 25mbs DSL, verified by speed tests, and 4k works fine with my Samsung TV apps and my Roku4 apps. The Hopper 3 reports insufficient bandwidth. I wonder why.

I have no problems but I am also in an XLTE area and see 60 meg speeds. You might need a new device to get higher speeds

Ya, I wonder if my phone, when acting as a WiFi Hotspot, is choking the throughput.

It was only 5 or 6 years ago when my house went from 3G to 4G coverage. They just came down the county road within 1/2 mile of my house laying fiber, but that's just a connector from city to city, no local service for me...
