This is going to be a nightmare affecting the entire worlds' bandwidth. Netflix streaming already looks like shit and can barely even stream SD shows without a glitch here or there. As far as HD streaming, wow it's absolute shit due to the insane amount of compression, doesn't even look like HD. How bad is UHD going to look once it is streamed?
I am a proponent of 4K for sure, but we can't even stream a regular HD signal that is worth watching, so maybe fix that problem first. And remember, UHD is more than twice the resolution because if you double it's width and double it's height you end up with 4 HD images in the space of one UHD image.
seths, it is a bandwidth issue...people with 100mbps connections get real pretty UHD streaming, at least at off-peak hours when the servers can dedicate the bandwidth for the lower-compression version. Sure, it isn't as nice as a blueray disk...but it isn't a disk, and that is a big plus for a lot of people.
I still thinking that 4K content will be a happy experience only for people using blu-ray discs &/or stream via fiver-optic lines from start to finish. Any other way people will end up with lossy video no mather how much money cost the service.
