4K catches fire with OTT streamers, while broadcasters burn

Compression

Yeah,

Thats my concern too and not alleviated by the comment from the Sky guy about needing to reduce the bit stream.

I remember when I went from Virgin to Sky TV and the difference between the HD channels was amazing. Virgin must use a bucketload more compression.

I've recently upgraded to a new 4K TV (a lower range Panasonic) and the difference between my old 1080i is astounding.

The biggest frustration is watching some of the UHD content on Youtube and knowing that UHD content as standard is so far away :(
