CNET recognizes ULTRAFLIX:

http://www.cnet.com/news/4k-content-guide-what-to-watch-in-4k-today/

"UltraFlix

Cost: Some clips and videos free, others up to $9.99 to rent

Example Content: Movies "RoboCop" (1987), "Fargo," "Rocky," "World's Fastest Indian"; Concerts "Muse Live at Rome," "Usher OMG Tour London"; IMAX Films "The Last Reef," "Magic Journey Africa," "Yellowstone," "The Living Sea." More categories include Action Sports, Automotive, Nature, Travel, Shorts and Trailers, CableLabs 4K demos and Moving Murals 4K (3 aquariums and a fireplace).

UltraFlix wants to be the Netflix of 4K, but that's a lot more difficult than blatantly ripping off a brand name. Available on Samsung and Vizio TVs (with others, such as Sony, coming soon), the app offers an array of 48-hour rentals -- there's no option to buy or subscribe to the service yet, although both are coming soon.

Aside from plenty of IMAX, the selection is weak. It's mostly stuff you've never heard of, albeit 500 hours' worth. UltraFlix deserves credit for rating the quality of its titles Silver, Gold and Platinum. Upconverted 1080p movies are Silver, film transfers Gold and native 4K movies Platinum. We haven't tested UltraFlix's video quality yet."

Big step forward IMO - NTEK$
