if it were the only choice, fair enough, but its a decision made for whatever reason, cost I assume, but its a self defeating solution. people are used to eurosport being able to transmit on a linear channel in 4k, the BBC should of course be able to as well. but the bbc is dead anyway, killed off by the slow death of a thousand cuts so no one really minds its demise.

I'm certainly not one to be defending the BBC, but to describe it as 'dead' is far from the truth. You only need to compare the number of new programmes being broadcast on BBC1 and BBC2 (criticised regularly for the number of repeats they show) with Sky 1, Sky Atlantic and Sky Witness, to realise that Sky has a fair bit of catching up to do to get anywhere near the Beeb's output. No-one is talking about Sky's demise, though.
By the way, did you see this?
