Fox this weekend will also begin its 4K HDR coverage of the 2021-22 college basketball season with one game on Saturday, one on Sunday and two on Martin Luther King Day on Monday. See this article for more details.
Note: Fox’s 4K broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p HDR. Upscaling is the process when one video format is converted to another. Fox takes the 1080p HDR signal and converts it to a 4K format. Upscaling 4K is not considered as good as native 4K, but the inclusion of HDR can offer heightened colors and vividness.

But you still have to go through Roku or Chromecast to get the FOX app to give you the 4K feed, right? And they wonder why 4K hasn’t taken off.
Those details are in the story.
Proving my point.
actually no it is not covered in story. I have xfinity cable, and a 4k television – yes or no will I see 4k?
From the story: The pay TV services that are expected to also carry the game on special 4K channels are DIRECTV, Dish, Comcast, Verizon, Optimum, YouTube TV, and FuboTV.
So the answer is yes.
Fox 4K just does not look all that great on my Samsung Q8F TV. A recent NBC Sports soccer telecast (I have fuboTV) looked much better.
The fox game is the week on Sunday always was on 4K but towards the end of the year the games weren’t coming in 4K. Was that a problem on my end??
