Because then people could "save" the movies in RAM, and someone would
figure out a way to be able to download them and put them on the
Internet for free.
It's a licensing issue... that's why "streaming" is OK.

That 187MB translates to only about 11.25 GB per hour. Why not stick
in a 32GB memory and be done? That would be almost 3 hours of buffer.

It's really too bad that the devices that support all these streaming
services can't have a larger buffer. I'm sure it's part of their
licensing deals, but if they could buffer 60 seconds of stream (at
any quality), they would have much fewer support calls for streaming
issues, etc.
Using Netflix's 25Mbps for 4k, that works out to 187.5MB of storage
space. At current RAM prices, you can buy a 256MB module for $15 full
retail... so places like Samsung can probably buy them in quantity
for less than $2. Seems like it would be worth it to pay an extra $10
for a TV/DVD/PS4/Wii-U device that could handle 60 seconds of video.

That’s pretty cool.
You can do 4k direct from Youtube.
Several of the ones I’ve tested are sustained around 20-30Mbps.
But on my network it tends to burst to 90Mbps then sit around for a
while, then burst back to 90Mbps.
I think the 4k will require a lot of optimizations before it works
on the built in TV’s.
