Right now the only 4K channels are Video on Demand. There have been some events in the past though. We had delayed Olympic coverage at the Rio Olympics. There was several weeks of a college football game. There was also Planet Earth II. All of these events have been on channel 540, an on and off channel. We will probably get some Olympic coverage in a few weeks. If you are a Netflix subscriber and subscribe their highest level you will also get 4K movies there. To get any of this you must have a Hopper 3 or 4K Joey.
No full time 4k channels yet if you go twitter everyday there is news about Ultra HD 4K. every morning i send news up to this twitter site to be added so you can check out and read.

4K channels are going to be such a LONG CRAWL to maturation, if ever.
All 4K UHDTV's have a builtin upscaler that upscales the picture you are watching to a 4K UHD picture.
From what I've read and reasoned,
By the time networks are ready to make the next 'standards' move...
480-1080-??...
4K will have passed as outdated.
Expecting 8K (or more) to be the next standard.

8K is already being worked on right now the winter olympics will be shot in Ultra 4k Hd and 8K also to in a couple of weeks in south korea.
We can't even get basic channels in HD, let alone 4K.
I want to add that the upscaled brings you to 'near' 4K UHD picture. Not all the way. Very much like the HDTVs that upscaled 480 sources to 1080, it was near but not the same.All 4K UHDTV's have a builtin upscaler that upscales the picture you are watching to a 4K UHD picture.
8K is ridiculous for home viewing.
From 10 ft viewing distance you can barely see the difference between 1080i and 4K much less 8K
8K is already in theaters, where it belongs, beyond that it is verging on a scam.

Amazon Prime has 4K ,also. You will need at minimum a 25 Mbps internet download speed.
Speaking of that, Phoenix is the test city for all of the main networks to go to ATSC3 in the very near future. We should know a bit more about those things soon.
You have to think outside the tv box.
Imagine a full wall 'papered' with monitor.
The fullwall monitor is sectioned into 'windows', like a computer monitor.
With one window for tv,
one window for news,
One window for clock/weather,
Multiple small windows for family photos,
maybe a window to an ocean/beach view.

You are asking for 4k channel over here and all i want is to have my SD 480p channels to be HD 1080 or at least 720p
Old post, I know, but I haven’t seen anything here in the Phoenix market. Can you point me in the right direction, Bobby? PM is fine if you want to take it out of thread.
