Better to have the truth and nothing but the truth rather then a distorted truth which some take at face value on a regular basis OB.

Yes, or alternatively, the reason behind my views. I sometimes think that Den has forgotten why he holds some of these views!

I dunno, the BBC were testing 8K back in 2012.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/researcha...hi-visio.shtml
I am partly joking, I realise that the technology was likely to be Japanese.
Streaming has come a long way though. HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), or x265 is a major leap over x264 in terms of efficiency.

HEVC is an amazing leap forward imo some dodgy links on a certain media system use HEVC a lot and the quality was superb on it.

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
There is still a large number of households unable to get the kind of speeds necessary for UHD. Alas, this may be why the content providers have not been very quick off the mark.
This may also be a problem for Amazon if it decides to go for the Premiership rights this time around. They may have to provide conventional channels in addition to streamed channels to get maximum coverage/income.

It undoubtedly is. Why spend potentially millions of pounds for a format that, no matter how nice it looks, virtually none of your customer base can use?
That said, it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. People are more likely to buy/rent 4K capable boxes and TVs if they are going to have access to more lovely 4k content, but the producers, channels and carriers (SKY/Virgin/BT etc) are not likely to have that content UNLESS they can guarantee a reasonable amount of viewers.

You can believe what you want OB as you generally do but don't think that others think the same without clear substantive evidence.

We never get to hear what your evidence is, though, Den, and that's the problem.
