Give it a rest already. Nobody has a lot of great content yet. Nobody. It took years for there to be decent content in HD. What? It's going to happen overnight for UHD, and little NTEK is to be dam*ed that it does not already offer a 4k library that rivals Netflix HD content that took years to create, and when even TV manufacturers have only recently made concerted effort in that area? I've read dozens of articles that say that 4K is just now getting attention from studios. We're talking major transition here. How far would you be if you were in charge? Yet NTEK saw all this coming and was among the very first to start pushing the edge on it.

And how else are you going to get ahead on 4K content if little to no one has any? Well you can buy some state of the art decoders, make deals with studios to make 4K masters out of existing films. Then you could agree with said studios that those films made into 4K masters are subsequently added to a 4K streaming app. Further, you could make those decoders run 24/7 and add content to said app with said mastered films.

I mean that might be one way of pioneering 4K streaming. Oh, wait. Daym. That IS what NTEK's doing. But shoot, they bought the decoders around a year ago. Why in the name of Tartarus haven't they surpassed Netflix, Amazon, and god?
