Comcast to offer 4K set-top box this year 

Apple and Roku might be eschewing 4K hardware for now, but Comcast is moving forward with its support for the format.

The cable and telecom giant today announced it would ship the new 4K-capable Xi4 box later this year, allowing more of its subscriber base to enjoy the company’s “Xfinity in UHD” catalog of 4K titles. Currently the only way for subscribers to watch content from that catalog is via an app exclusive to Samsung 4K TVs.
