Picture quality issues

Hi 

after 15 years of having directv, i find the picture quality of the DIRECTV STREAM service very underwhelming - weird saturation of colors and image not giving the right “feel” on my 4K TV. I thought that the streaming was supposed to be 720p or 1080p all the time so should be same as directv. I do have a 1 GB fiber connection

any thoughts? I also noticed that i have to adjust my TV color settings to make it at least a little better compared to my settings for directv

i dont see any picture options on the DIRECTV STREAM box itself

Also how do i see the source quality - whether it has UHD, 720p vs 1080p?

FADED COLORS

Almost every night my DIRECTV stream seems faded and sometimes almost look b&w. 
if I hit the home button on my tv those pictures seem bright and clear but the Dtv stream playing in the. background still seems dull. 

i reboot the dtv box and it gets a little better. I have a Samsung 43” 4k a few years old and ATT 1G internet and the upload and download numbers are fine. 
my DIRECTV box is refurbished so I wonder if that is causing the issue. I’m using a digital cable from the dtv box to the tv. 

it just seems wrong that all of my other streaming sources seem fine but my DIRECTV stream seems faded

It was the only the set top box (only wanted it for a remote control) I’ve had issues with. Returned the box and have had no issues. I would still like a remote.
