May 5th 2015 announcement from Comcast that 4k is coming, now over a yr later and still waiting.....
4k rolled out about that time on some 2014? samsung TVs with an app on the TV givng the streaming access from comcast.
At the moment comcast is upgrading the set top boxes that are not capable of decoding mpeg4 as 4k will fit in the same size file as current HD using mpeg2 container. It appears comcast is working toward upgrade of their system to support linear/on-demand of 4k.
Rick has pointed out that 8k is right behind this but early adopters won't find much content for awhile.(from comcast)
