I am working on a similar setup aimed at eliminating my current cable TV (Bell Canada). A couple of questions if I may ...

1) I am planning on adding a TV antenna to the mix for local channels. Can the antenna be connected to the wireless router?

2) My current internet service has 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speed with a 40 GB limit. Is that good enough for a Chromecast (or similar) setup with Netflix based on moderate usage (3-4 hours of TV - no gaming)? I currently use 10-15 GB of the 40 GB per month.

3) I am planning on buying 2 smart TV's. Do I need a Chromecast (whatever) device for each TV or can one device connected to the router or computer serve both TV's? We very rarely use the 2 TV's at the same time.

4) I was told to buy Samsung Smart TV's since they support most video formats. True?

TIA
