Broadcasters can barely get 1080 right. They'll stumble over themselves trying to do 4K. The best they'll do is make 4K look the way 1080 is supposed to.

IF ... and that's a very big if ... they do that it would be great ...
since almost all 1080 on Comcast looks like upconverted 480i, at best.
Typically it is amazingly hideous.

Comcast started out as a mob operation out of philly. Suffice to say, nothing has changed.

They are the definitive reason as to why monopolies should not exist. Lousy product and atrocious highway robbery pricing.

Wow, you sure nailed it on the head. John Malone is one of the biggest criminals in this country.
