Just curious on everyone's thoughts on the new technology and the part VM plays.
I've got money burning a hole in my pocket for a 4K TV. However it can keep burning until HDMI 2.0 is ratified and included in a new TV rather than promised as a later add-on, even if it's free.

If 4K is going to have acceptable refresh rates, we'll also need a new generation of boxes with HDMI 2.0 too. So VM I would predict a whole new VIP++ tier where people are willing to pay not only for the content, but a new TiVo model too. This would have to be cloud-based as no hard drive in the world would be big enough.
