Not convinced with compression technology and bandwidth yet myself, but we will see how they get on. I do think that 4K is years off in the mainstream though. HD hasn't even taken off properly yet! Well at least not here in the UK, unless you buy films on Blu-ray of course, but certainly very limited as far as broadcasting goes.

B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.
11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.

Uh? Since when? There are tons of HD channels on Sky these days. Granted, fewer on Freeview, but that's a bandwidth issue. But I wouldn't say it hasn't taken off. There are about ten Sky movie channels in HD alone! How many movies do you want in HD? :)

I will agree 4K is going to push bandwidth resources of any broadcaster, though. I can't believe we'll have more than one or two Sky 4K channels, for years. Maybe one dedicated movie, one sports channel, tops.
