I just love this one. 4K-NET. Dire......4k. How many can they think of. Sadly, this may be awhile off, but they are getting ready for some 'copyrights' ha ha
I hope in a way it is a ways off. I'm not ready to replace my TV yet. But if it's anything like the move from SD to HD, it took a while to get much more than Discovery HD Theater.
That's what folks said when HD first started to come out. There are still some folks around here that say they're happy with their R15 and SD, don't need no stinking HD channels.
IF that is what he's referring to then I would like to ask what networks currently broadcast in 1080P. How is it the fault of DIRECTV if FOX is in 720P and not 1080P?

HD to 4K is not. You are never going to make a picture better then Live no matter how much resolution and contrast you drop in.
The HD we have now on most sports looks like you are there live now.
Not many people are going to invest the kind of money that one can Garentee ,Directv and TV manufacturers are going to charge for it.
Thats all I can say.
Maybe if Directv took our money and spent it on improving the HD we currently have and/or Don't have we wouldn't need Ultra.
Most Networks now are in 720p or 1080i, You think they are going to run to 2160p? They aren't even 1080p yet.
Here's my take. DIRECTV wants to go after the higher end customer, aka has a higher ARPU. They're going to be able to get those customers if they can provide content that others don't offer. So when that person goes out and buys a new 4K set and they look around at the content providers and see that DIRECTV has some content which their local cable, telco and maybe Dish doesn't where do you think they're going to go with their money? I think that's the same reason DIRECTV launched their 3D channels before others. Yea, 3D hasn't been on fire but you can still see the occasional post over at Dish threads asking why Dish still doesn't have any 3D except for a couple PPV movies.
And remember, if/when they add 4K channels it probably won't be until D14 goes operational, which isn't until a year from now, and allows for more HD channels also.

I know dtv does alot of ppv broadcast in 1080p, but if more stations broadcast in 1080p would dtv have a capacity issue, or is plenty of extra bandwidth available?

That DIRECTV removed it from the uplink suggests that they (and Panasonic) are done with it for now.
In the mean time, the 3D offerings seem to be tending toward less instead of more.
