Tried searching but just finds TV sets to buy.

1484041 2022-02-01 01:58:00 nothing broadcasts in 4k to my knowledge, some streaming services do as mentioned.
To get the best out of a 4k TV currently you have to go old school and get something on a 4k blu-ray.

Honestly TV sets are a bit ahead of the content and it's unlikely broadcast TV will catch up any time soon due to the bandwidth requirements and hardware investment needed.

It really doesn't seem all that long ago TV went digital and started offering HD. Took a long time to happen as well.

1484042 2022-02-02 05:35:00 Given the program content available, 4K seems a bit of overkill - 2.7mK would be more than adequate for viewing the trash.

1484043 2022-02-03 03:29:00 They'll never broadcast anything in 4K until the equipment gets upgraded and/or they stop wasting bandwidth on duplicate delayed channels (In the age of PVRs, what's the damn point?)
Half the stuff now is already in horrendous quality, especially on satellite due to limited bandwidth.

Like dugimodo said, best option is going to be discs. Or downloads, if you can get them.

Streaming is going to be OK, (not sure what supports 4K other than YouTube though) but it'll have higher compression than a disc and won't look as good.
