Does anyone here with a Sony Android Smart TV also use a dedicated streaming device?

I don't know, but the picture just looks a tad fuzzy when watching via the Android TV.

Part of the reason may be dedicated RAM used for streaming. The Roku's are terribly underpowered and I'm sure Android TV's suffer the same fate as well. I have an XBR-900B which is about 6 yrs old and the internal-based apps don't play for s**t! I originally got a Roku Ultra, had similar problems with 4K content. Got a free Apple TV during a DTV Now promotion, I enjoyed that SO much I sold the freebie and bought an Apple TV 4K (2GB RAM). Haven't had any streaming issues since.
