    getting US ip address is no issue.

    keyword is live: more so traditional television.

    i do have a dishnetwork account with JOEYS that i could never figure out how to set up its just seems so over complicated when its probably something simple.

    Get a Nvidia shield for 4k video, and download Kodi (with the exodus add-on) that will cover 90% of all tv shows abd movies.

    It has a number of sports shows as well, but you may need another app to cover anything Kodi misses.

    When trying to play 4k at 60hrz, users report that changing the output manually to 30hrz fixes stuttering.

    That being said, you need a 4K TV, 4K content, and the bandwidth to support it. By the time 4K TV becomes mainstream, the Shield and Mi Box will both be long out of date.
