"it would seem that Britain's TV companies are very reluctant to embrace Ultra HD as a format."
"Geffen goes further, suggesting that it's now Sky taking the broadcast technology high road. "The investment that they have put into 3D and subsequently 4K, is enormous. Sky is now doing what the BBC once did some time ago."
"All the broadcasters are keeping their plans close to their chest," he admits. "I'm sure though at some point 4K will come to Sky, because they're all about customer desire. However at the moment Netflix and other internet delivered outlets are beating everyone else to it."
This is i'm guessing means 4K is a long way from VM's mind |
I'm not even sure I'd bother investing in new equipment myself, the difference isn't as much as it was between SD (which can be terrible) and HD.
Sky will push it obviously, and then launch all their HD channels in 4K and keep them as exclusives and the process starts again.
