  1. I gave up on this ages ago, also other SmartTVs with their own OS. Only buy TVs with Android TV implimented in them now, as they are also configured to the spec of the TV's own hardware were as external Android TV boxes sometimes don't fully support all the hardware or do the handshake correctly to understand the spec of the TV. So if your open to sharing your data with Google instead of LG, Samsung, etc, I would say look for a SmartTV with Andriod TV. Also those apps are always kept up to date. (sorry LG)
  2. Yes, this is actually the reason I am sticking with Samsung. On a Samsung TV you can stream your media like netflix, etc and Steam games without any other devices so you can hang them anywhere: In your bedroom, for example on one of those TV lifts. You do not need a TV cupboard anymore in your living room. You can even hang one in your garden with water proofing. On any wall, anywhere within your home network. Also saves a lot of cables and money on buying cupboards and/or game consoles. With a LG WebOS TV you still need to buy a Steam Link, nVidia Shield, Xbox or Playstation, this really is a major bottleneck with the possibilities for where you can use an LG TV and still enjoy all your content. Maybe it is a license with Steam or something to publish this app but it will make the opportunities endless for the people that have a decent Steam PC or Laptop, no more unnecessary apparatus around your TV and more TV's around the house with all your content
  3. Hi, Thanks for the interest 😀 This is a 4k/Atmos file straight from a Bluray disc: Using HEVC compression, if it was H.264 the bitrate would be a little lower. 62,3Mb/s video + 4.2Mb/s audio = 66.5Mb/s which is 66.5mbps That is a 4k/Atmos stream. For some reason my devices cannot stream this without buffering and the entire house has Cat8 1gbps connections, my server has 2x 1gbps connections with LACP so it shouldn't be a problem.
  4. A proper lossless 4k/Atmos stream is 85 Mb/s - 128 Mb/s, which is 85 - 128mbps. 100mbps doesn't fit the bill, to stream 4k you need a 1gbps Ethernet connection. I have already spoke to Samsung about this, even their latest and most expensive TV models only have a 100mbps connection yet they deliver 4k TV's, Atmos/DTS:X speaker sets. They advised me to purchase their Samsung UBD-M9500 or UBD-M9700 player to fix this problem because they should have a 1gbps, turns out even these players have a 100mbps connection. Sony and LG are doing the same as Samsung. Why sell 4k TV's and Atmos/DTS:X speaker sets without offering a product that can actually play the content without inserting a disc, now I have to start researching 3rd party products to be able to make use of these features.
