There goes the caps.

On the contrary. Streaming will be the best way to get the 4K picture into people's homes. That's because of the challenges involved in upgrading broadcast technologies and the fact that it isn't anticipated within the Blu-ray disc standard. Clearly we have much work to do with the compression and decode capability, but we expect to be delivering 4K within a year or two with at least some movies and then over time become an important source of 4K. 4K will likely be streamed first before it goes anywhere else. To that point, our own original House of Cards was shot in 4K. It's being mastered in full HD, but the raw footage, or a good chunk of it, was shot in 4K, and we hope to have some House of Cards 4K encodes later this year.

Which ISP and device you got? I'm just using a PS3 wireless (it sucks) with TWC 15Mbps/1Mbps line, and I don't seem to have issues with buffering playing HD content. Upgrading to 50Mbps/25Mbps tomorrow and I'm gonna hook up the PS3 using Cat5 cable. It's gonna be ill!

My VPN allows Netflix HD been watching some of their collection, all is smooth and good, if they can offer 4k and I can still get it smooth, all the better.

It's been a while, it's usually on Friday or Saturday nights when 70% of the country is also trying to stream Cheers re-runs.
