    The Sky Sports F1 is broadcasting in 4K but is an Internet Channel. I can see all 4K channels going this way personally.

    Not according to my local Virgin shop. I asked them last week and they said no one is broadcasting in 4K. When I mentioned BT Sport and Sky having 4K content they told me I was wrong. So no sale there then, well done for turning another customer away. As Andy has pointed out Sky is via internet and you have to have the 2TB package atm. Sky recently announced it was going to provide full service via broadband so some hope there for more 4K content.

    I knew BT was showing 4k content through internet. I thought sky 4k was through satellite. So virgin is never going to get 4k???

    My guess would be 4K via Internet. I think the future is gonna be IPTV, when I dunno, but seems to be heading that way.
