The 2014 World Cup Games were recorded in 4K.

The BBC transmitted on Freeview these games to some of their offices as a trial.

 

On June  2014, the 2014 FIFA World Cup became the first ever to be shot in 4K UHD, thanks to FIFA's partnership with Sony.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To watch Netflix content your 4K TV needs to support HEVC video format  which Netflix has adopted. The majority of 4K TVs made in 2013 do not support this format. Amazon is also gearing up to transmit 4K Hd content. Also a new version of HDCP will soon become the default for 4K TV, check if the TV supports this version of software protection.

 

Visit the manufacturer's web site to check for firmware updates.

Some of the links are available on the right.
