Unluckily however, Netflix 4K content is also only available to subscribers whose domestic web connections hand over 20 to 25 or more Mbps of speed, a still rare quality in many U.S-based internet connections.

Sony also streams 4K video to users of its own ultra HD TVs who also have those TVs connected to a $700 Sony 4K UHD media player.


Amazon has spent some time promising the release of its own 4K streaming content service and it looks like that’s finally going to hit the Prime Instant Video service on TVs which can decode HEVC content compression. However, the release date of the Amazon service isn’t yet officially clear and it looks like it won’t be available until at least January.


DirecTV is showing signs of promise toward becoming one of the biggest providers of 4K content available in the coming year. As of this last Friday, the company became the first multichannel video programming distributor to offer 4K UHD video-on-demand directly to its customers who also happen to own a Samsung 4K TV and have the DirecTV Genie HD digital video recorder installed on top of it.No word is yet available on what this will be priced at.



NanoTech:

Available to subscribers of the company’s UltraFlix Video on Demand service and only on a narrow range of TVs such as those from Sony, Vizio and Panasonic, the offerings by NanoTech’s UltraFlix are surprisingly decent, with about 200 hours of content available, at least according to the company itself. However, the catch is that users need to first get their hands on one of NanoTech’s Nuvola(TM) NP-1 streaming 4K Ultra HD media players.

Stephen – Thanks for the summary and in including NanoTech (Nuvola and UltraFlix). The UltraFlix channel (as you menioned) is available on Vizio, Sony and a number of other 4K UHD TV manufacturers sets which are awaiting news releases to be finalized so they can be announced. The Nuvola box won’t be required on these sets the UltraFlix channel will be on the sets and consumers can start streaming immediately either freemium or premium content. The 200+ hours of 4K content is a very old number. It has probably tripled since you had that information and the company is aggressively negotiating shared revenue contracts with more content owners than I can keep track of. In addition the company’s division 4K Studios is working with content owners to repurpose HD content to 4K ready. The two locations (Hollywood and San Francisco) are literally working round-the-clock to deliver even more content over UltraFlix and this is in addition to the native 4K agreements that are being signed. The Nuvola unit will be required for people who have – shall we say older 4K sets (without the enbedded channel – for streaming and more importantly in my opinion for game playing. Unlike game systems the Nuvola unit was designed first for streaming 4K content and then for game play (so the requirements are much higher). But game play is equally important because we know there are boomer, millenial and Gen X closet gamers out there and the more than 1500 Android-based games will find heavy actioin by that group of people so there are places for both solutions. I would look for a lot of the 4K UHD sets with the UltraFlix channel at retail over the holidays and at CES this year.

streaming can be problematic. Certain streaming options, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, are available (or soon to be available) to virtually all of the newer model 4K TVs but can only be accessed by homes with internet connections in excess of 20 Mbps, and only about 11 to 15% of U.S households have this kind of connectivity.
