I know dish and directv have 4k content now. Dish has a 4k uhd all home dvr (the hopper 3) and directv 4k client boxes (4k geni mini). So there's got to be 4k tv channels but I just don't know which ones.

Hi Newraze,

Cox is committed to providing the best quality content to our customers and we have the infrastructure in place to deliver 4K content. To date, there are no broadcast or cable networks producing 4K content. Cox will continue to explore areas where new technology provides deeper value to our customers. As these values continue to develop, Cox will continue to evaluate 4K content availability.

They're not "TV channels" per se.  Is it on your TV?  Yes.  Is it UHD?  Yes.  However, it's DirecTV reserving 3 of their channels for UHD content.  They're DirecTV-owned channels.  As for the programming, I doubt it's popular or even good.  It's just in the UHD format.  It'd be like watching the Racewalking Channel because it's the only sport on TV.

From what I've read on Dish TV, it only offers on-demand UHD programs and its equipment is compatible with Netflix.  It'd be cheaper to just stream Netflix.

I looked at the Dish site and it just reads "...on-demand movies, shows and events...live sports..." but nothing specific.  No HBO, Comedy Central, CBS, etc.

These providers are only promoting and over-pricing their UHD-capable equipment, but there is nothing worth watching.

It's nice they're UHD-ready but UHD programs depend on the broadcast and cable networks.

Hello.

 How about now? 6 years later. Is there a coax DVR cable box that supports 4k output on all the channels that are available and broadcast in 4k? Not through an app. Sports and premium channels come to mind as examples. Real question, thank you.
