Just seen it, maybe its coming before Sunday

Ultra HD from Sky in ‘two to three years a possibility’ says satellite boss

Quote:
Sky could be launching ultra high definition TV services via satellite within three years says the owner of the Astra satellites used by Sky and Freesat.
Quote:
Speaking to industry analysts, Bausch, the president and CEO of SES Global, said: “We are very confident that U-HDTV will happen. BSkyB lead the introduction of HDTV in Europe so do not be surprised if you see us partnering with BSkyB in order to pioneer the introduction of ultra-HDTV in the next two to three years. We are in close cooperation with our customers on their plans.

“U-HDTV is still in its early days but NHK’s approach is for full 8K. The other U-HDTV is 4K and we see this as being more commercially focussed and could be a reality only two or three years from now.

Wow, thats impressive. These satellite bandwidth problems I've been hearing about seem like pure scare mongering - 4K broadcast would need a huge amount of bandwidth.

The only problem is a 4K projector is currently around £16,000! :shocked:

Or maybe their trying to be at the forefront of pay TV innovation , something they've done with both HD and 3D , not playing catch up like other firms.

But that would not make for an interesting conspiracy theory :D

The question is how much of a step improvement it will be and the answer to that is minimal but Sky will advertise it as some great new coming one suspects.

If we adopted that train of thought we'd still have analogue colour broadcasts :D

Why add colour? The improvements over black and white would be minimal ;)

The improvements that 4K will bring are huge Den!

The jump from our current 720p broadcasts will be massive (much more than SD to HD)

Take a look at the diagram in this link for a visual representation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Di...VCD_to_4K).svg

Who's playing catch up? Didn't Telewest launch the first residential HD service and didn't Virgin launch the first residential 3D service in UK pay TV homes?

Yes they did , they had trials of ITV HD and BBC HD with some HD On Demand , they're well and truly playing catchup with HD and 3D now though aren't they. ;)
