When we stream 4k video from Netflix for example, they recommend a minimum speed of 25 mbps.But HDMI 2.0 has a bandwidth of 18.0 Gbit/s
How can we recieve 4k video with a connection speed of only 25 mbps when we need 18.0 Gbit/s to send the video to our TV?
I think it is to do with compressed vs raw 4k but do we really compress it to this an extreme? I would have thought this would result in so much loss that we are no where near 4k in the end.

Thanks for the replies, makes sense! I just find the fact that the uncompressed data is so much larger in size astonishing.
