One of the problems of relying purely on streaming is the point I made here

Until all streaming services start to keep back episodes and seasons, there will still be a requirement for linear channels and a PVR.

Well, we will still need our PVRs until the last of the broadcast linears goes belly up.

The current Tivo can't handle 4K , it will require a new box.

Do the current owners of LG, have some stake in the Discovery channel?
Maybe this relationship could bring some of the first 4K content to the new Tivo box, as I'm sure the Discovery Channel will have some 4K programmes of their own soon.
