Ultra HDTV getting closer

It seems that a lot of attention is being given to 3DTV, which is still in its early stages of development, while Ultra High Definition (U-DHTV) has almost been forgotten about.

However, with billions of dollars having been invested in U-HDTV technology, this is clearly going to the next big step for television, even though the likes of BSkyB, Virgin Media and Channel Four all have plans for 3DTV coverage of some description.

U-HDTV has the potential to offer up to sixteen times the detail of that already seen with 1080p HDTV, therefore, as the search for the perfect TV picture falls to HD Television at the moment, surely U-HDTV will be the next generation of satellite service offered.

Nevertheless, as with other platforms such as video tape and more recently DVD, the winning format is not necessarily always going to be the best for the consumer.
