That's what's gonna make 4k stream even faster than the current HD vids using H264 compression.

Hard drives won't have to be bigger either because the files will actually be smaller than the HD files are now.

I'm not sure what the hold up is on fully implementing H265, but when it happens (probably this year)...EVERYTHING changes.
