Are there any 4K capable TVs that don't have their own Netflix/YouTube app?

There was kind of a point with the original TIVo, as it had its own modem and broadband was slower, but now??

I don't think so Jong. Even the 4K blu ray players have Netflix and You Tube aps to access the 4K content

TiVo's search will go across Netflix and other On Demand sources to find content.

So even if 4K TVs have Netflix and YouTube, then it's much easier to find content what you want via one interface.

Don't some of the smart devices already do that probably even some of the smart tvs. BT Youview 4K box already does it.

That article does not state that the box will definitely out this year.
It confirms that the TV service will be rebranded as Virgin TV in 2016. The strapline to the article says "...should arrive later this year."

Yes, sorry, that was my fault, spiderplant. Although I have been hoping for a pre-Christmas date, I thought it safer not to bank on it!

Pretty sure Roku boxes search across content providers.

Ben, will the V6 have it's own dedicated internet source like the Tivo? Not sure if it's true, but is the Tivo's line 10meg?

I'm guessing for 4K content this will need to be increased for the V6?

But Rokus in the UK don't provide live channels or recording ability so by definition it cannot search these unlike Tivo.

It's been stated the new box does not have a modem. It uses your Superhub for broadband access.

Sorry I thought the question was in relation to 4k content.
