now to risk needing a new 'tuner' to feed it that in due time. Assuming of
course, people buy into 4K as more than a display system upgrade to give
nice results from HD.

Blu-ray is 1920x1080 _maximum_.

Are we going to have ultraviolet-ray for 4k?

Interesting - so far no one has confessed to buying one to watch telly, nor
identified any tempting sources of material.

The words 'telly' and 'programme' are rapidly being replaced now by the
word 'content'.

Accepted - but the point stands - what is there to watch?

IMHO there's no way we'll be seeing 4k broadcasts on DTT. I doubt there
will be on D-Sat either. Delivery will be a stream, or download (lasting
several days from some) from t'internet I suspect

Perhaps it will go the way of Betamax - technically superior, but
not enough obvious superiority to become the de facto standard.

Discontent.

It's being used in the production environment, as a means to 'overshoot'
footage, so the resolution is retained for HD. For instance zooming
in on action (retrospectively) sports replays notably.

I suspect native 4k material will be available domestically, should
anyone be sufficiently enthusiastic. As many people seem incapable of
spotting the difference between SD and HD, in many cases ownership
of 4k kit, will simply be 'to keep ahead of the Joneses'.

Well, if you were able to receive Astra 19 degr. east, there is a UHD
Demo channel to try: 11406 MHz Vert. | 22000 | DVB-S2 | 8PSK | FEC 2/3.

The first live concert transmission in UHD resolution ("Linkin Park" in
Berlin) was shown on 19. Nov. with max. 35 Mbit/s. It was freely
received by already some Samsung UHD TV owners with 4k HEVC capability
and by modern Windows7-64bit PC owners with DVB-S2-tuners and 4k-ready
software decoding (MPC-HC-64 player i.e. here).

Demo clips are running there 24/7 if not a closed test transmission is
performed - like on 20. Dec. with "Fanta 4" rappers from Stuttgart,
delivered to some testing households and 4k capable cinemas.

Sky Germany is testing live soccer transmission in 4k for long and is
suspected to start a regular UHD pay TV channel end of 2015...

Or even 'product'.
