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. :-)

You got it...Technology keeps moving along much to our dismay and pocketbooks..heh. Don’t count out upgraded internet speeds even if it requires satellites, things are advancing quickly. The problem of course is that is requires money from us (!) to upgrade our equipment but when we can eventually afford it, it will be great!

I expect that the 4K TV’s will be very affordable in the next couple of years. Even now, they are under 600 dollars so it will not be long...

That leaves the required download speeds for 4K tranmissions and at this point, Amazon and Netflix are offering movies at that resolution for free (Just need the speed to get all those pixels downloaded).

Now for a quality and reasonably priced 4K TV...ha.

Such is life!
