Do all table service meals start at 4pm?

Are there any that start sooner?

TS is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some dinners start at 3:00-3:30, some lunches start at 10:00am. Just go to the restaurant you want, click on your date, and it will tell you the hours for each meal.
 
Yes, most every one does. Or are you confused and asking do Dinner's start at 4:00? TS is available all day, every day.
 

I meant dinner.
Ah, then no, very few offer dinner before 4:00. Some are seamless between lunch and dinner. Most locations have even dropped a different menu. But many locations do close down at 3:00 and reopen at 4:00 for "dinner"
 
Some of the parks TS have an all day menu.Chef's , Rose & Crown, 50's PTC and Mama Melrose are all day and I believe there are others. In those cases if you get the last "lunch" seating you will have the menu as you would at dinner.

More and more of the TS restaurants are moving towards an "all day menu" where lunch and dinner are the same menu and the same price. These restaurants tend to transition from "lunch" to "dinner" ADRs with little, if any, break. So you can book an ADR for whatever time works best for you and not worry if it's lunch or dinner. The start time for dinner ADRs for restaurants that either don't serve lunch or have a break between lunch and dinner can vary. As mentioned above, some start dinner at 4:00, but others start at 4:30, 5:00, or 5:30. You can find the hours for each meal at the waltdisneyworld.com site. Click on "things to do", then "all dining", and select the restaurant you are interested in. On the right side of the page, between the "check availability" box and the map showing the restaurant location, are the hours for that restaurant.
 
I'm always curious about those that eat dinner super early. Do you find yourself snacking in the evening? Certainly, most people couldn't eat that early in the real world, since most get off at 5-6:00, transport and then meal preparation or going out. But if you eat dinner at 4:00, and then Illuminations, for instance, not late in the least, is at 9:00, then transport time to your lodging, seems like one would get peckish...Do you do the late breakfast, skip lunch, early dinner thing? Anyhow, always curious about others habits, I know what works for me, and who doesn't want to know what others find workable? Its like I travel super light, I want to know what the heck people are carrying in those big backpacks?

Usually when I schedule an early dinner, and by early dinner I usually mean 5:00 or 5:30, it's because we have a character breakfast scheduled. That fills us up so we aren't hungry for lunch. We'll eat a snack mid-afternoon and then head to an early dinner. We will then have a small snack if we are in the parks late.

Yes. Meals are more than big enough at Disney that we don't get hungry later. If we do, popcorn is found all over

That's how it would make sense to me. And the meals are surely big enough to hold you for a long time! I'm a nightowl, so eating early when I'm just never, ever going to sleep before 12:00 would make me snacky. And when I get snacky, entire bags of salt and vinegar kettle chips, etc. go missing. No one needs that much salt at night. I'm not a responsible adult when it comes to salty treats.
