AT&T has a "fixed wireless" internet here that might work for me, but 4K and even hi-def will blow through the data cap. I'm OK with SD, but it seems like every new TV is 4K.

Not sure what you are asking here. The TV will play whatever you feed it.

What are you using to drive the TV?

I do t have a fixed amount of data but I do have multiple users and sometimes I don’t need 4K streaming. This is why I hook my tv up to a Mac Mini with hdmi. It allows me to set quality settings on most services.

My 4K Apple TV is hooked up to a 2K TV and I guess it streams at 2K definition. I haven’t tried to see if I can lower resolution even further.

I think you need to set the definition with the service provider-Hulu, Netflix, whoever.

There is a setting on Netflix (have to go to the website), plus if you get the cheapest plan I think it is capped at 480p, standard definition. I haven't found anything on the amazon site that allows you to change what they stream to you. But changing settings on your tv isn't going to change what they stream to you.

For Amazon via web browser and their iOS app, you can choose 3 levels of quality. I do not know if s,art tv apps do the same.

When I stream from AMZ Prime, I have a choice- sometimes.

Because of my poor troughput, AMZ sometimes tells me 'You can't handle the UHD!'

Or sometimes the HD for that matter.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
