Spot on. ATM, the only 4K material is via Netflix and Amazon, which you get via apps on your 4K TV anyway.

As I think MM said, films could be another option. but if Sky started a 'Sky Movies 4K' channel, there is no way they would let VM have it. Maybe VM's PPV movies provider could include 4K movies?

VM will need to get a 4K box at some stage because Sky and BT are launching one and customers won't want to feel left behind. But the usefulness of a VM 4K box, ATM, is at best, minimal.
