Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.At this time, mid-2018, The FCC has not yet authorized UHD broadcasts, so the answer is no. TV manufacturers, over-the-air broadcasters (NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS) and the FCC are working diligently to come up with universal standards for 4K UHD, so viewers can watch TV in 2160P - UHD TV. Once the standards are adopted, whenever that may be, the broadcast electronics manufacturers, like Sony, still have to have to design and sell the new 4K gear, such as studio cameras, to the broadcasters, themselves. An educated guess for the earliest roll-out broadcast 4K TV would be about 2020, if not later, and that is for the major TV networks, and their owned TV stations, in the major markets. Smaller broadcast groups and independent TV stations are likely to convert to 4K broadcasting somewhat later, due to the extreme costs involved in converting to 4K. In the meantime, there are 4K UHD Blu-ray discs for sale, however, they can only be played on the newer 4K Blu-ray players hooked up to a new 4K TV set. The 4K players have been on the market for about two years, now, and the average price in mid-2018 is around $125.00, but expect to see these players drop in price to below $100.00, by the Holiday Season, in 2018. There is also, of course, Internet-based services, such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime that can supply 4K content no9w, as long as you have an account with any of these firms.
