Tonights Chicago Whitesox game is in 4K but not being shown in 4K on NBC Sports Chicago.

I'd like to watch tonights game in 4K but you're not carrying the 4K broadcast...............What can be done to get tonights game shown in 4K?.........Xfinity used to show the games in 4K but stopped for some reason......why did Xfinity stop showing the games in 4K? i'd like to get answers to these questions if at all possible.

Hello, @hwkn, thank you for letting us know that the game was broadcast in 4K. In many cases, whether we will carry the game in 4K is up to the broadcasters and programmers for that network. It is at their discretion that we get that content and 4K content is still limited, and we are continuously working to acquire more 4K content. Now, this particular link 4K Ultra HD (UHD) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) on Xfinity TV - Xfinity Support will make sure that all pieces of equipment and goes over settings and additional information about 4K broadcasts.

@XfinityNicki​ your answer doesn't make any sense. These White Sox games are broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago, which is at least partially owned by Comcast. Are you saying that Comcast somehow isn't letting itself broadcast these games in 4K? Is Comcast intentionally trying to shift customers to other providers?

That's what they're doing trying to make us go to  providers such as Directtv for the 4K.

It just seems that you're not working hard enough or fast enough to get more sports in 4K.
