UHD Blu-ray may be cracked

I know - but specifically he mentions Netflix, which is why it doesn't sound right

His post is BS.

Netflix is said to stream 4k HDR at 18mbps. If he watched for a hour and a half, it would use around 13GB @ 18mbps for 90min - not 28GB like he said.

Well, its possible that my TV isn't the only thing on the network, that metric was directly from my ISP. My apologies, so it is bull****. My TV doesn't report on the data rate, only the resolution, all I noticed was that the one day that I did watch the 4k movie, the usage spiked significantly. They do recommend a 25mbit/s connection though, probably to handle overhead and buffer properly (see here https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306).

... So you get 4k UHD Blurays... And players... Would still prefer streaming, even if its only at 720p, with instant playback of a movie that I'll probably watch once.
