They will push this one because of its chip. As space requirement for every content will go by half irrespective of SD, HD, AND UHD. So with the same compression, they can given better PQ and AQ, so it is not just about UHD, it is also about moving to a new broadcast tech as that chip soon will be standard for all type of content as it can give better results even with same amount of compression (2 normal HD feeds space it will take only to show one 4K feed with this new chip).

I also think that for the mentioned price, it would be recorder as paying around 7k for just plain box will be far more expensive. Let us see ...

I wrote an article on this, in order to save the bandwidth they need to broadcast in H.265 codec which is only possible if every customer has this set top box. Its only possible if they push this set top box to HD customers as well minus the UHD capability. It might take 3-4 years

First of all how many of you have a 4K Tv UHD channels wont work on HDTV guys. So Buy a UHD tv first. Price starts from Rs 68,000 for 40 inches but 40 inches UHD is of no use so you need to buy minimum 55 inches and that costs close to Rs 1 lakh.

This service has no use right now. They should have thought of HD channels first. More HD channels on their platform should have their first priority !!!
