You're not going to accelerate its delivery by asking the "when" question every chance you get. It doesn't work like that.
By mid-January, we should have a better idea about when DISH plans on making programming available that would make a UHD Joey worth having.
My bad. I did take what you said out of context.
The broadcasters and content creators aren't interested in the same things. Broadcasters will move on when the marketplace tells them it is time. If that means downconverting, so be it.
The difference this time around is that the aspect ratio isn't changing so radically -- a big reason watching SD programming on HDTVs was so "miserable".
Am I missing something here? What is the purpose of going to 4k if they're all going to compress the signal? Wouldn't it be better if they just sent 1080p uncompressed?
You took what I said out of context. The local stations have already jyst invested their money into upgrading to HD. I am sure that the majority are not ready to upgrade to 4k for a while.
Which sam is saying would apply to cable cos as well.
But I don't agree. The financial outlays would be less and the cable cos have deeper pockets.
The cable companies have more money than the local TV stations. They will upgrade first. If Dish is coming out to with the 4k Joey then they must be planning on releasing enough 4k content to make it worthwhile

You don't know the cable companies around here. lol Sure, we have Time Warner, but there are (no exaggeration) about 100 OTHER "mom and pop" cable companies serving the viewing area.
