Would be nice if Roku and HULU could work together to provide 4K Video and 5.1 Audio support on Roku capable devices and Roku capable TV's. Can someone from the Roku team push this request to the development team? 

If the supported devices list below is accurate from HULU, the only way to get 4K Video and 5.1 Audio is to use a Chromecast device. Seems logical that the most popular streaming device might want to join both of those lists. Please.  😄

At this point this shouldn't be "future consideration," this should be an imperative update at least for the newest slate of Roku devices... Any word on this at all?
