IT STARTS WITH THE INTERNET
Streaming movies and TV shows requires a good-quality, highspeed internet connection, much like the one you likely have at home with the NBN. When you’ re out on the road, you have three internet connection options:
• Local caravan park wi-fi;
• Mobile broadband( 4G or 5G); and
• Satellite internet service( Starlink).
Of the three, in our experience, the first two are quite unreliable. Only satellite-based internet connections like Starlink have the necessary consistent performance to meet the demands of media streaming. I say consistent, as there are times when park wi-fi or mobile broadband do work perfectly. Let me explain why.
This Falcon TV is made by TCL and includes TCL’ s streaming services.
There are basically three streaming quality levels, or definitions. Obviously, the higher the definition, the better the quality of the picture and sound. High definition requires greater download speeds.
