To get to SD quality (480p) you would need 3 times the speed you have. So in this case, no tablet can make up for the non-video speed internet link.
As to your Tab 3 hot spot, that depends on your carrier. Some charge for hot spot use.

After 10 hours of internet study, I still need some help. I have a Samsung Galxay Tab 3 and a Nexus Player, and want to feed the internet through to a tv. (My current tv does not have an HDMI input.) Haven't bought the new tv yet and as it will be eventually used in an off-grid tiny house, it will be antenna'd with a paid satellite feed. Should I go to a Smart tv or am I being redundant? I'm aiming at approx 42-45 " tv and, of course, want the best quality picture (being a photographer). In the meantime, playing vids on the tv and/or NetFlix, will be enough for now. Do both the speed of my modem and the speed of the tablet govern whether videos will be jerky? (current modem download speed is 1Mbps.)
