As to your question I guess it depends who your ISP is, and how much TV you watch. Does your ISP allow unlimited data? Most of the big guys have 1 Terrabyte, and surcharge for overage.

There are others also.

In all the cases above you need an internet connection, and ideally one that doesn't charge overage fees, or has a limit set so high that you normally would never reach that bandwidth
