Cable and satellite companies have limited bandwidth so unless they only want to offer 1/8 the channels they have now they can't do ultra HD either. No ultra HD online steaming either. Most people don't have connections fast enough to handle it and won't for the foreseeable future. At least not in the US. Even if they did, bandwidth caps that ISPs are now enforcing will make ultra HD useless. All those companies that spent BILLIONS developing blu-ray are not in a hurry to go to ultra HD format. They are still trying to make money on blu-ray. So if there is no content then no one will buy these things.
