Foxtel HD broadcasts both 720p and 1080i HD formats.

But I assume that means from IQ3 as you mentioned Keith....and yeah dont really watch much youtube....so may need to learn how to search for the 4k videos :P

So yeah....this stage very limited stuffs hey? So would xbox/ps4 games just come up as 1080p I.e. standard Full HD (And same with blurays?)

At my cheap options....there was a 4k 42" tv and a 55" full hd lcd - both being same price....was thinking just go the bigger one cause stuff all 4k content anyway

720p and 1080i is roughly equivalent in terms of quality of output (progressive > interlaced for quality by the numbers)

IQ3 is a new replacement for the old IQ2 box. The plan is to run 1080p content on it, eventually - it could be a mile off, who knows...

720p on Foxtel has been around since the origination of "Foxtel HD" and hte first release IQ boxes.

4K is just a sales tool - it's 4x as many pixels as 1080p and hardly any content is distributed in this size :)

Yep - once you get bored of a couple of sample clips you end up just using the TV to watch whatever is on in the highest quality that's available.

I have American Netflix and Hulu with a 100/40 nbn connection wired to the TV. There's plenty of 4k content for me to enjoy
