4K for sports would be nice. I upgraded to a larger TV recently, and 18mbit 1080i MPEG-2 does not look great on it.

- supertrope 3y ago4K won’t happen for a very long time. Broadcasters get the majority of their revenue from retransmission fees from cable companies. Their OTA broadcasts are a secondary concern. Their business model rewards adding more sub channels and therefore more ad slots, not cancelling the subchannels to allow the main channel to occupy the entire 6 MHz. Many viewer don’t own a 4K TV and on the content end the cameras on the fields don’t support 4K yet.
- vel0city 3y agoEven the cheap TVs these days are 4K and have been like that for several years. Within a few years I imagine most households will own at least one 4K TV.
