Well, now that 1080p is dead ([Link: residentialsystems.com]) and a client just bought a random 4K TV to install, I'm here asking for the best of your ideas to update me as to what cabling to run between an AVR and a 4K TV.

Let's say there's room for smurf tube. I hope there is.

Let's say the client wants streaming services. Most will, I think. I'm inclined to go with yesterday's advice and use a Blu-ray player for that (but how long will those be around?) or standalone streaming box. Is it still insane to think of using an integrated remote on a system with an AVR, but use the TV for streaming services?

Let's say the wiring needs to go thirty feet, maybe forty...

What would you run in the walls to be, hopefully, ready for one more step of video evolution past today?

And what's the minimum download speed required for streaming video these days?
