you mean you can't stream at ALL? I had what I killed a "brain-dead smart TV" for a long time and if it takes an HDMI connection, and you have WiFi, you can stream. of course, a friend gave me this 65-inch monster almost a year ago, and it's plenty smart. now, if I can figure out how to save money....

I can stream some on the TV; otherwise I must use the MacBook Air's smaller screen, which is still better than the size of the iPhone's. But I rarely do much streaming anyway. I do not want a new TV. I'm okay with what I have.
Call me a Luddite, but I'm annoyed that in the next month or so I'm going to be forced into changing my AT&T copper internet line for fiber, which will entail a new receiver in the living room and a "Joey" in the bedroom, plus DVR screens that I will find annoying. I like to read words, not choose among images. I've had very few problems with the copper line, and I've heard awful stories about AT&T's fiber service. Maybe I'll be lucky with it.
My 50 Mbps copper service works fine for me. IтАЩll be forced into 300 Mbps theoretically for the same price, but IтАЩve been hearing tales of poor service with the upgrade. Time will tell. IтАЩm not going to have a choice (which is one of the reasons IтАЩm resisting it for as long as I can).
years ago, I discovered the Google Chromecast device, which is unobtrusive and easy to use and will let you stream just about anything from another screen. I doubt it's more than forty bucks. I also have a Firestick, which lets me stream EVERYTHING, but is glitchier and, needless to say, is made by Amazon, about which many of us have deservedly negative feelings. my stunning hypocrisy is easy to spot...

The fiber service on ATT is OK. Unless you're going to play video games online, you don't need to get the top of the line version.

David, I do very little streaming, so for now I choose not to get those devices. Thanks for your input, though.
