Cox doesn't have 4K or has a few channels....

Posted by Rod M on February 8, 2026 at 14:02:14:
My cablecards that I use for my HDHomeRun boxes for Plex are only 720p. The newer boxes from Cox are still only 1080p. They're getting a new box over the internet that will have a few 4K channels.
Anyway, my 75" TVs look really good as the upsampling is pretty good with 720p sources. Even sitting 8' away from my 77" LG OLED, it's pretty good, probably close to an 1080p source.
OTOH, NetFix 4K is awesome, but I don't notice it much unless I see a wild hair that's annoying sometimes. What I do notice the most is true 4K UHD when there is a lot of dark pictures. The LG OLED is fantastic. Otherwise, often those dark pictures just get lost somewhat.
Do you have an antenna to get 4K for the networks? How does that look?
