    If you need the box now buy it as prices will go up due to weakening pound.

    If you don't need it, wait for more release of 4K boxes and prices will drop, perhaps not to the levels of non arm boxes.

    Not bought a 4K as no need, there is no content and when it does arrive unlikely due to encryption will play on non provider boxes at least in UK and Western Europe.

    On the one hand I want everything now but I do need to plan ahead - not least as there are a load of recordings on the sly boxes that need to be watched before switching. And when I have thought about it, it is all mainly the terrestrial channels so the money spent on a sub could more than cover a new box.

    I guess the question I have to ask myself is do I wait for new technology but in this game there is always new around the corner.
