 I'm not interested in being an early 4K adopter.

 

 

 

 

*chuckle* How about "I'm not interested in being anywhere on the leading edge with 4K, but might reconsider when broadcast TV goes 4K".

 

Not gonna happen anytime soon, which does rather raise a separate discussion.

I've opted not to replace our TiVo and will see what that means in practise come October.

I see lots of reference to being able to copy the content off, but I'm also really struggling to get my head around what exactly one would want that badly from free to air broadcast TV?

With UFB and Netflix etc becoming available in NZ, our household at least is watching less and less broadcast TV, and the quality of the on demand content is improving all the time, especially when compared to the blocky mess it was originally.  We hardly watch anything from broadcast TV, (survivor plays for the ladies in our house, the news? - showing content I've read on stuff all day long) and will now opt for 4K content when available.  For this reason, I'm seriously not that worried about losing a recorder device anymore, which has come as a surprise to myself even.

Broadcast TV can go and die a slow death in the corner as far as I'm concerned.  That whole model of full blown BS viewer statistics justifying advertising costs is just so out of touch with where viewers are heading, it's very much aligned to the Sky discussions on other threads, with their must pay $50 'basic package' to even be able to purchase the sport addons you want.  These guys really really need to go and check out the audio world, and ask how their CD's and MP3 sales are going nowadays?
