If you're about eye-watering clarity when it comes to home entertainment, get yourself an Epix subscription. The network has announced that from today it'll be offering Ultra HD content on its platform -- the first such offering from any premium network in the US. The service launches with a select number of movies and original programs, including a raft of old-school James Bond films and newer additions such as Arrival, Star Trek Beyond, Transformers: The Last Knight and the Epix original series Get Shorty.

Reading it again it sounds like they (EPIX) have not implemented it yet. I'm sure DISH will have it the instant it becomes available........

You can log into the Epix app on roku with your dish credentials..probably the best way to get 4k channels is with streaming

I tried that, both Roku and AppleTV, as well as casting via Android. It is not available yet. But, when it is I will probably go that route.
