With people buying newer, bigger HD/4K teles they don't want to be watching fuzzy channels anymore.
I agree to a certain degree; especially 'crappy' SD channels and VM can't afford to be left behind technology wise.

But 4k won't show any significant benefit unless the TV is 60 inches or above, and how many lounges in typical homes can comfortably accommodate 60 inch plus screens?

For the average home, 4k is not necessary and just another marketing tool for equipment manufacturers to sell more goods. They're still smarting from the fact that 3D didn't take off as they hoped, with people rushing out to replace their perfectly good TV with a 3D version.
