As many viewers already know, the second season of Netflix web-show House of Cards will premiere on Feb. 14 (Valentine's Day), giving fans of the show something to do with their spouses as an alternative to the traditional dinner date.

Our last article pointed out how the people behind the show used consumer data to create such a successful show but pundits are saying that now the pressure is on for the producers to continue what they started, when expectations abound.

There are lots of rumors and blog posts circulating around the internet trying to guess what will happen with the plot in the second season. Netflix has released some photo stills which, fortunately or unfortunately, do not give away any details regarding the plot line.

Regardless of the stories that take place in the second season, we can be sure it will be a delight for the eyes. For the first time, House of Cards will be shot and produced in high resolution 4K, meaning 4,000 pixels in the horizontal picture.

This is good news if you have a TV that is capable of playing 4K video but if you don't, you can still watch it in high or standard definition.

For users who want to stream the extremely high-definition video, an internet connection speed of 15 megabits per second will be required to play the video smoothly. The ultra-high definition video will be compressed to 15 Mbps, which is possible to achieve through Wi-Fi.

Not all users will have a similar viewing experience, however, because the average internet speed in the country is only 8.7 Mbps and more than half of internet connections are less than 6 Mbps.

Faster plans cost more money, which may be the way users will have to go in the future as more people stream their shows and internet bandwidth becomes increasingly important.

Those who have or can afford to pay for the 4K capability will be able to tap into the full potential of the show.
