Do media streamers reduce quality of the file thats playing?

When you play files from memory stick via media streamers on a tv with a HDMI lead, does the media streamer reduce the quality or does it keep the quality the same, just like watching a file from memory stick via PC keeps the same quality

Depends on the streamer and quality of the file... obviously if its a 4k file it will change it but most should run the tv just fine

The video output of a media streamer is not going to be as good as a high end bluray player such as the Cambridge or Oppo players. The higher price will give you better video and audio quality. They will be as good as most popular priced Bluray players so you should be happy with it. Far as I know none of them make a big point of better quality.
