   What is the line speed of your broadband connection? Not the speed of the   
   package you've bought, but the measured speed via something like   
   speedtest.net.

   Minimal and only if your broadband and router are seeing speeds greater   
   than 200mbps.

   Normal broadcast TV (HD 1080) only needs about 5-10mbps and 4k (or UHD)   
   needs 20-30mbps. USB3 is unlikely to make any difference here.
