Quite literally, we'll all have to wait for the broadcasters.
For example, under multicase, NBC might currently provide 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 all at between 720 and 1080.
Until they can see if they have bandwidth for all at UHD, nothing will change.
Since cable must carry thos signals, Fios and other MSOs cannot change until broadcast changes.
Then for satellite like AMC, A&E, Scripps, etc., those must transmit in UHD before MSOs can retransmit in UHD.
And don't forget the MSOs love talking about # of channels but who really watches SD if they have HD TV and enjoy the HD channel?
The # of channels game is for the niave. And when they get UHD, they will likely drop SD and tout the # of channels they have but who with a 4K capable TV that can watch Food Network in 4K cares about also getting Food Network HD?
One more variable is the OTT issue... With Sling and others giving semi a la carte to us, the whole mega bundle of tiers will be reforming soon, so again no rush for UHD.
OH MY GOD!
Do you even know how thick the data pipe would have to be to stream that?
