Even UHD Blu-Ray isn't likely to need sustained transfer rates over 100 Mbps. The spec allows transfer rates of about 128 Mbps, and some discs reportedly have momentary spikes above that, but I suspect the vast majority of titles would be playable over Fast Ethernet, especially if given a few seconds of buffer.

This is the biggest problem with those cheap network interfaces in tvs. They dont have any form of usable buffer, so a spike instantly creates problems. using an usb network dongle (or if your setup is good enough wifi, but this is very unstable) Also, most tv's are not able to push the full 100Mbps over their network interface.
- tshaddox 18d agoWill TVs stream UHD Blu-Ray rips off the network anyway? I guess modern TVs all have H.265 decoders now, so there’s no reason they couldn’t as long as the network interface is quick enough and they know how to handle common video containers.
- mvanbaak 18d agoTVs will stream some. Exactly because the network cards are horrible without buffers etc. But yeah, remuxes (uncompressed copies of UHD) are pretty common and people that want the best quality use them. Also, kaleidescape highest quality options are as big or bigger than UHD rips.
