Warning: geeky rant ahead, featuring techie lingo and acronyms, so proceed at own risk of confusion and boredom.
High definition (HD) broadcasts began in the UK back in 2006, almost 10 years ago. The next-generation Ultra HD/4K television sets are now in shops. Sony and Twentieth Century Fox have committed to supporting 4K Ultra-HD Blu-Ray from next year, despite everyone saying video-on-demand has killed physical media. Netflix and Amazon Prime are already streaming 4K content to subscribers (for free in the latter's case)...
SO WHY DO WE STILL PAY EXTRA FOR HIGH-DEFINITION TELEVISION?
