Just joined the 4K club...  cloud9:
A cautious  :thumbsup:  What you going to use as 4k signal?

Please don't do what my brother did.  Bought an HD TV and for years fed it with a SCART lead  ::).  Then bought a 4K TV but still drives it through an HD only box  ::).

Are you suggesting that BM isn't technically savvy enough to avoid making mistakes like that?  whistle:

Don't have an Iphone so Apple TV isn't that big a thing for me but looking on the Three website earlier I've found that they have what seems to be a free media app as long as I have a data service. I'm upgrading at the end of the month so if it works out then free Netflix here I come.  cloud9:

Well, it will upscale SD and HD signals... both work well... in fact, the upscaling from a SD DVD is excellent.

Plus I have an 4K Android box so I can stream stuff...

And I have downloaded a couple of UHD movies...

And the tellybox has YouTube and Netflix and stuff built in....

...and no SCART sockets...  ;)
