[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 972598, member: 184030"] When we hear about new technology we have a habit of talking about it for a long time, then we get the hardware.... but nothing to use it on, then slowly get drip fed the service to back it up. Take HD for instance, talked about in the 90s.... hands on the hardware early 2000s and finally we got something delivered in 2006 and its been very slow. Even now there are still more channels in SD than HD and they are talking about 4k and even 8k. Apart from the fact i want all HD TV channels, we have HD and SD duplicates cluttering our guides.... soon we will have SD, HD, 4K and 8K versions of all the channels!!! Surely we should be worrying about 8k once we get the 1k we have been promised for so long. The same can be said of DAB and Broadband. The only fast technology that has slowed down is Smartphones. The need for a new phone before your contract ended has gone, you can now have a 5 year old smartphone that still works fine. At one time you realised your phone got a lot slower with each update of firmware and apps, now its no longer as obvious :) [/QUOTE]
