[QUOTE="specracer, post: 15557422, member: 93182"] Yes HD Yes 4K, in fact streaming is the only current source of HD. I use a Roku, and entering the characters takes longer than the search results. Assuming you have a good ISP, start time is almost instant. No guide, because it's all on demand, no schedule. Your last question are the pitfalls. Streaming does not always carry live TV, where many sports news etc, are carried. Much of this can be captured OTA (over the air, yes an antenna). The VHF spectrum was taken back during the analog sunset, as was the upper UHF channels, so now all tv is brodcast using the UHF spectrum channels 14-50 (skipping 37). This is the BEST picture. It's breath taking, zero compression. This might help with OTA.
