Thank yo u, George.  Excellent answer (though not the one I was hoping for!) Looks like elegant solutions will lag during the transition from cable to streaming. Hopefully, TV competition will force LG's hand.

Just bought new LG OLED65C7P and am blow away with the picture quality of HDR.  I am running the latest available LG  WebOS update:  04.70.36           3.7.0-5711401 (dreadlock s2-drto)

Netflix, Pandora, and Amazon Prime all seem to work fine over LG WebOS

My cable company only offers the BBC America channel in SD (Ugh!) so I decided to stream directly from  BBCAmerica.com ("Killing Eve" S1E1).

My LG OLED65C7P is currently wired to my LAN running approximately 60 mbps as measured with SpeedTest.com.

As another data point, My NetFlix LG OLED65C7P application tests the network ats approximately 66 mbps.

Using LGWebOS, I browsed to BBCAmerica.com  to play "Killing Eve" S1E1.  It  attempted to stream but ultimately hung.

I then hooked up a Chromebook using a wireless connection on my LAN ,  attached it to HDMI1, and it worked just fine.

This makes NO SENSE to me.  How does a WIRELESS  Chromebook over the same LAN and website totally outperform a WIRED LG WebOS?

Your thoughts / solutions / explanations gratefully solicited?  Thank you in advance.
