4K/UHD probably not. HDwhy not? Other streaming services don't

seem to be bothered by a bandwidth issue. The HD most of us receive via cable/satellite is not true 1080P. When I look at the data I'm getting from most Dish channels, it is mostly 720P or 1080i, depending on the channel/network. In addition it goes through a compression/decompression process. Still I consider the picture quality very good.
There is no reason, technically, why streaming will not be of equal quality from what we get from Cable or OTA.

I'm not sure why your Watch ESPN was challenging -- CobbCountyHokie 07/21/2016 10:35AM

They need to up it to 60 fps. That would help the quality. ** -- VTBB 07/21/2016 10:45AM
