Just in case your not up to date on TV technology...and not just making a fun statement...

4K Technology

To understand 4K, consider first current HDTV, which offers 1,920-twenty pixels, the tiny dots that make up the picture across the width of the screen. The more pixels, the sharper the image. Now, imagine a TV that doubles the number of pixels across, to 3,840, which is
approximately four thousand, or “4K.” Vertical scanning lines are double as well, from 1080p to 2160p.

Streaming that requires much more speed and bandwidth.

Oh! No, I’m not up on that technology at all. Nearly 4K pixels! I see! Thanks.

Really, that would be huge from my perspective! Nothing but radio or satellite here, and repeaters are far away. It would be nice to get consistent 360p streaming.

Nothing but PV solar for electrical power, with the nearest usable power lines too far away. That’s another challenge. Granted, some of the equipment here will probably be replaced with newer stuff that uses less power—good for maybe 720p or 1080p. No streaming for that, though.

On the positive side, that’s motivation for learning more and getting more work done outdoors. The peace and quiet are nice, too. :-)
