Well get one then.
But in a year or two I fully expect you to be back here moaning why your youview box can't display 4K (most notably it probably can but Freeview is unlikely to have the bandwdith to deliver it).
That's one crucial thing some people tend to forget, Freeview is allegedly short of bandwidth and nearly all future TV services are using technologies that demand more and more bandwidth eg 3D, 4K, Super Hi Vis etc.
4K doubles the pixel count so expect massive bandwidth demand.
I understand 4K tv's will be hitting the shelves in greater numbers next year and presumably dropping in price so its only a matter of time before broadcasters are under presssure to deliver 4K in much the same way they delivered HD. We're already starting to see 4K PC screens.
