About time.

An Ultra HD channel would be nice too, though I'd have to save my pennies up. Never satisfied!!!

But no Ultra HD channels planned? None here in America either and not surprised.

Don't push it or you will get a format war you will never forget

I can foresee a format war occurring only if RED were able to pry POPULAR content out of the majors - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...le#post7964791

And by “pry”, I mean they would have to really pay through the nose to get it. And, RED launching a competitively priced 4K player.
