No. Having said that, as long as you have a good quality broadband connection you will always experience a more than satisfactory stream.
The vast majority of streams are good to great quality, many are HD, or even 3D quality. If a stream is not adequate or of a poor quality, there are many many more available, it is just a matter of clicking on them.
Should I use Wi-Fi or a cable to connect my Android Box? keyboard_arrow_down close
In General, a wired (Ethernet or RJ45 Cable) is always best because a direct connection does not suffer from any interference that Wi-Fi connections are subject to. The speed of a direct cable connection is always faster than a Wi-Fi connection.
If your ISP (Internet Service Provider e.g. BT) have located your broadband router in the same room as your TV, then you can connect directly to your stream box via a cable. If your broadband router is in another room or even another floor, you can use Wi-Fi or a wired connection. Whatever you decide, rest assured that a GOOD Wi-Fi connection is more than adequate.
