Watching streaming services over the internet is easy these days. All you need is an internet connection – and it doesn’t even have to be that fast, 5Mbps will do for HD, but 25Mbps is recommended for 4K – and something to watch it on. Many TVs have the requisite software built in, and phones and tablets definitely do, but if you need an addon to get it to work, perhaps on a computer monitor or a TV that’s been left behind by the smart TV revolution, then you’ll need a box.
