4k Programming

[Waqas1]

I just got a new 4k box.  I adjusted the settings to UHD 4k.  I think Xfinity > Settings > 4k setting (highest 4k setting)

1) Will Xfinity Auto tune to 4k if its being broadcasted live?

2) Do i have to go to the channels in 1000s to access 4k programming?

3) Can you access live 4k programming via Xfinity stream?

1. Yes if that’s what the box is set for
2. Not necessarily, the 1000’s are considered neighborhood channels, duplicates of HD channels in a different grouping
3 On the xfinity app menu, search for '4K(space) do you find a listing?

Thank you Andrew.  I will test this out Thursday Night (Thursday Night Football) is in 4k.  I will see if Xfinity Stream has a 4k streaming feed.  I know currently the FOX Sports App streams via 4k.

What is the point of the channels in the 1000s?  I was told that was the 4k version of the channel.  This isn't true?
