I'm trying to understand 4K TV. I'm in the US and use Xfinity,
independently with MythTV via HDHomerun cable box, and for On Demand and
SVOD their X1 DVR.
I have been happy with my 40" 1920x1080 native TV and have been ignoring
4K, but recently I experimented with a projector with the same HD native
resolution projecting a 90" diagonal image. It was OK, but at that size
from 7 feet away the sharpness defintely was a bit disappointing. I
presume that no matter what the source that projector's resolution would
be a limitation.
That made me wonder if even with a higher native res projector, or a
larger 4K TV whether the media would become the limitation. That raised
the questions
* What 4K programming is there over Xfinity cable. Is it just a few
premium channels and no broadcast networks.
* Can the HDHomerun Cablecard box deliver "ts" files at 4K resolution?
* Can the mythfrontend on Linux generate 4K HDMI output from the ts files?
* Same question for Leanfront on a 4K firestick.
