Sorry, while David twiddles his flippers, the big boys are way out front. And have been since last year. Netflix, Comcast, Sony and so many more. Ntek has a stick in a shotgun fight. If anything Ntek may make a decent online electronics reseller. Innovative content provider, not so much.
But one thing, directTV should not be allowed to trademark the letters/numbers '4K'. That is just used by EVERYBODY and should be thrown out.

He didn’t specify when DirecTV would launch 4K services of its own, but White said it would likely be 2015 or 2016 before there would be “any kind of material impact” in terms of when all the piece parts would come together.
“We’ll continue to innovate, and we hope to be there first with the best experience, the best sound and the best picture, as we always have, and that’s our commitment,” White said.
And the extent of that commitment remains unknown. But DirecTV is clearly giving 4K a lot of thought. As reported by FierceCable in February, DirecTV filed several 4K-related trademarks, including 4KN, 4KNET, 4KNetwork, 4K Network and 4K.
Early on, broadband-based, over-the-top downloading services have taken the early lead on 4K content distribution. Sony launched a proprietary 4K video download service earlier this year, and Odemax, a service that’s focused on independent films, has begun to test a 4K download service as well.
