I would presume they'd own their own cameras purely out of necessity and just shuffle them around as needed between shows. This is especially important because if you look at the ratings, on a good day, they're lousy compared to about 20 years ago or so. There's been a gradual decline.And yeah, besides content creation, there is also the issue of distribution, and even media based ones aren't up to the task - BD XL's only 100GB (4 layer Blu-Ray, very few people can read these), and with a common movie being 40-odd GB, going 4K means they'll have to span discs (roughly 160GB - or two BD-XL's, or 4 regular BDs).And I'm sure the theatre owners will be really happy about 4K reaching the home as well, just a final nail for the cinematic auditorium after spending the quarter-mill upgrading a theatre.Give it at least 5 years, where movies will be shot in 8K regularly, theatres will upgrade to 8K (much cheaper), and homes will have a 4K TV. Maybe. Then again, the broadcast industry didn't really like going high-def because it exposed more flaws in sets, makeup and a certain "eww" factor in seeing a face blown up in full 1080p and pore closeups. Though, some people at CES are announcing 8K TVs right now, too.</blockquote>
