The Name of the Rose 1986 is showing in 4k and I would love to see if it looks better than the mediocre blu-ray:

WOWOW is not actually a single channel, there's three (or four including 4K). WOWOW Prime, WOWOW Live, WOWOW Cinema, WOWOW 4K.
The three first are 1080p only, the 4K is 2160p only. It requires a separate subscription, as well as a separate receiver to cap. It uses a different encryption which isn't publicly cracked, so there's not many people who can do it :/
Looks like the movie you linked is only airing on the 4K one. If you spot it airing on the 1080p ones, post here, if I see it I'll try to get it in case maksnew isn't available.
