Yeah and that is assuming that anyone in this day and age still has an SD set top / cable / satellite box.
Does anyone (VM / BT / Sky etc) even sell them? To new customers I know that it is pretty much a no go but I suppose some people still have old SD boxes, but are those even supported?
I will probably never get Q so I wonder how long support for the HD boxes on Sky will even be. I know you can't purchase them anymore as a new customer.
Also I assume at some point that 4K will become the only format of streaming available, too - that does not require a change in hardware to buy the product but I assume that they will bake the cost into the subscription price rather than lower it for lower resolution formats.
Though most portable devices (laptops / tablets / phones etc) are not at 4K quality yet, are they?
