   Its ultra HD these days on satellite :-)   
   Just got a new Samsung TV...   
      
   In the old days I had to buy a decoder key from Raspberry to even look at mpeg!

   OK, thank you for thr info   
   I have 2 Pi4 now each with a sitecom USB hub and a 4 TB Toshiba harddisk   
   plus some cameras (infrared too) plus several RTL_SDR stick plus some audio   
   USB sticks etc..   
   all on 24/7 on a UPS...   
   Plus various older Pis ...   
      
   Time for a change ;-)   
      
   Best performance is from an older Pi4 4 GB in a metal housing with a build in   
   fan..   
   been extremly reliable so far, but no WiFi that way.   
   Records security cams 24/7, radiation. weather, air traffic, shipping traffic..   
   more stuff... plays audio too.
