Nice...Thanks!
I noticed there appears to be some "scamming" going on by Samsung...just look at what was said about their supposed non-streaming 4K storage boxes (see below). How dare they delay or altogether not deliver on the promise for their boxes?


"A potentially more imminent ray of 4K movie streaming light could be the Ultraflix service. This is launching in the US any day now, offering more than 350 hours of 4K content containing a mix of sports, concert, documentary and film. At the time of writing, though, we’ve only been able to get confirmation that the films will include family, horror, sci-fi, comedy and drama options; exact film names have not been made available…

One final potential 4K source to look out for are external HDDs, to which you can download 4K films. These are likely – in the short term, at least – to be offered as add-ons to specific brands of TV. Sony has had such boxes available for purchase with its 4K TVs in the US since 2013, offering a series of preloaded titles and the facility to download other titles later. But nothing similar has been available to UK buyers.

Samsung is launching a similar box into the UK. This box was supposed to have launched already, actually, offering owners of Samsung UHD TVs (it apparently won’t work with other brands of TV) the facility to download up to 50 big-name movie titles at no extra charge beyond the box’s £300 up-front cost.

Disappointingly, though, the box seems to have disappeared from Samsung’s launch radar following its initial announcement back in May. Hopefully it will be resurrected at some point, and hopefully Sony will finally find a way, too, of launching its own 4K download box - even if it was only able to download 4K movies from Sony’s own film studio!"
