What 4K Content Is Available?

Hey Guys,

So I recently bought myself a UHD, 4K, Samsung 8000 series, 75inch TV. I'd like to find out how people get their 4K content.
I have upgraded my Netflix account to UHD/4K content, but I'm not sure how to find content. I've randomly come across content in 4K such as Blue PlanetII, but if anyone knows how to find a list of content in 4K, ID appreciate the heads up.
I know Foxtel has a 4K channel, but I have no interest in that.
I have seen on ozbargain some Blu-ray discs which also say UHD/4K at the top. Will these play on a regular Blu-ray player, or does it need to be UHD/4K enabled? I'm familiar with torrents and I've had an Android TV box for several years and I am very familiar with Kodi, Terrarium TV, Tea TV etc, plus I have a VPN, so if anyone can suggest how to get 4K content via any of these, I'm all ears.
You can buy/rent 4K movies through Vudu, Wallmarts video service, but it's not available outside the US. Does anyone know if Google Play Movies or any other streaming services available in Oz offer 4K content to buy/rent? I'm also looking for a site that shows movie previews in 4K.
Thanks in advance.

    Youtube has heaps of 4K content, Netflix has a bit, your aforementioned Foxtel channel 444 has it, and yes, to play 4k content on 4k blurays, you'll need a 4k bluray player. I'd recommend an Xbox One X, as it allows for 4k blu rays (which I personally find a pain in the ass, the load times are stupid) and 4k games.

      i think even the S plays 4k blurays

        It does, however, if you're into gaming the only downside is that it can't play 4k games. Otherwise it's a pretty cost efficient 4k and blu-ray player.

    Web search 'netflix au 4k content' to find Netflix programs. Many of their recent originals are.
    Youtube search '4k video' just watch for those that are not 4k but just promoting it.
    Get a decent UHD player if you're happy buying disks as picture quality beats streaming. There's loads of reviews and 'Best of" lists out there for players.

    With my luck, it will be Dorothy Dixers in parliament question time first on FTA, followed by Laurence Fishburne close ups.

      What's your internet speed like? If it's not good enough to stream 4k, Netflix self adjusts to a more appropriate resolution.

      Try blue planet II. It looks amazing on my new TV. I get good streaming on Netflix and my adsl2 gets 11MB/s. NBN should be perfect.

    Netflix, Youtube Premium, Stan, Amazon Prime TV has some stuff in 4K too
    Netflix and Stan you'll need to up your accounts though

    I think the iTunes store you can rent 4K Google Play has limited stuff in 4K but its there.

    When 4K UHD players drop in price a touch more, i'll invest in one too.

    As for the Kodi box, i can't say i've found something stable on the box (granted i haven't been hunting :) )

    Porn sites have 4k content now.

      I can't believe you'd admit to watching that disgusting material on a public forum!
