The only “but” is that for this we have to compulsorily do with the most expensive plan of all the ones you have, since it is the only one that has UHD broadcasts available. It has a cost of 17.99 euros, but you can share the account with 3 more people.
HBO Max
Another great platform for watching things in 4K is HBO Max. This has the great advantage that it brings some very recent films almost to the premiere, such as The Batmanand it does so without the viewer having to pay a supplement.
Subscribe to HBO Max It has a cost of 8.99 euros per month (or 69.99 euros per year, with which we save 35%), and you can see content on three different devices simultaneously with the same account.
Disney Plus
Disney Plus also has quite a bit of 4K content. Do not think that this is only content for children, since on this platform we will be able to find everything that comes to mind about Marvel or Star Wars, for instance. To this we must add that series of all kinds are coming thanks to Star.
Disney Plus has a monthly cost identical to that of HBO Max, although in this case the alternative model offers us a year for 89.90 euros, which is 20 euros more than HBO Max. Like the previous ones, you can also share account without any problem.
Amazon Primer Video
The giant Amazon of course could not be far from this list, and its Amazon Prime Video is one of the best options to watch 4K content that we have today. In it we will also be able to see a lot of original content, like the great series The Boys.
If we talk about subscriptions, Amazon may be the most attractive. For 3.99 euros per month or 36 euros per year We will have access to all its content, in addition to the advantages of having Amazon Prime to make purchases in the store or those associated with Prime Gaming, to name a couple.
Apple Plus+
This is perhaps one of the least popular in our country, but lately it is doing great with its exclusive content. Apple Plus+ has only been active for a short time, but with series like Separation It is making an important hole in our homes.
For price it is also one of the ones that offers a more attractive subscription. It has a cost of only 4.99 euros per month, although you can try the service for free for 7 days. If you get an Apple device you have 90 days to request 3 months free, quite an offer.
YouTube
What to say about YouTube that we don’t already know. This platform is still today one of the best Internet sites to “get lost”, and it has thousands of videos of all kinds, being able to see many of them in 4K.
There are channels in fact that are specially dedicated to show all kinds of content in 4K, from exploding wine glasses to landscapes of paradisiacal islands, including animals in their natural habitat.
TDT
Oddly enough, it is possible to see some DTT in 4K. This is quite surprising considering that even there are several channels that broadcast in SD (they only have 6 months left to make the leap to HD), but we still have that possibility, as long as we live in one of the places where the signal arrives.
The only channel that is broadcast in this resolution in Spain is TVE 4K, and as we say, it is only broadcast in the following cities: Madrid, San Fernando de Henares, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga, Santiago de Compostela and Valencia. To do this, it is necessary to have installed the module that allows receiving the frequency, otherwise we will not be able to see it even when we are in these cities.
Operators Television
The other large group that we are going to find on this list is made up of some of the main operators in our country. These have been betting very strongly for some time on improving the television services that are available to their clients, and that has allowed them to have various contents available in 4K.
Movistar Plus+
Movistar Plus + is the television of the blue operator, and in it we are going to find content in 4K more than enough. We are not only talking about cinema, but also about high-quality series and documentaries.
Another great advantage of this service is that it also has channels where this content is broadcast. If you have a UHD disc at home you will be able to watch the best football in 4K, as well as Formula 1.
Orange TV
Orange is another of the large operators in our country to have its own television service, and of course it has a lot of content available in 4K. This content adds up a lot if we add it Rakuten’s video storealthough yes, the price is separate.
Orange TV also has 8 channel linear in 4Kwhich are the following:
- Orange Series (in some, but not all, the contents)
- Odyssey.
- Kitchen Channel.
- Fashion TV UHD.
- Festival 4K.
- All Flamenco 4K.
- Movistar LaLiga UHD. (In 4K quality the matches of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona).
- Movistar Champions League UHD.
Vodafone TV
Vodafone didn’t plan to be left behind, and they also offer a lot of content in 4K. For this, it is necessary that we have or that we first get hold of the decoder that they call Vodafone TV 4K Pro.
Vodafone also has some linear channels that broadcast all their content in 4K, and are ideal for all kinds of tastes. The channels are Odisea, Slow Channel, Decasa and Canal Cocina.
Blu-ray
This option of watching content in 4K may not be for everyone, since for this it is necessary that we get hold of a Blu-ray and that we have a device to be able to reproduce it. Of course, if we opt for this we will be able to assemble our own collection.
Another option we have for this is to rent blu-ray. The rise of streaming platforms has meant that most of the traditional neighborhood video stores have closed, but some are still available in cities throughout the Spanish territory.
digital stores
A little along the lines of the above, we have digital stores. These allow us both to get hold of a film forever how to rent it to be able to see it for a certain period of time. We tell you which are the most important.
Microsoft Store
By typing Microsoft Store in the search bar of your Windows you will be able to access the Microsoft store, and although it is true that we use it almost always to download applications It is also used to watch content in 4K.
If we click on the tab on the left where it indicates Movies and TV we can access its entire catalog. We will have the option of both renting and buying, although obviously the most expensive option will be if we opt for 4K.
Google Play Store
As with the Microsoft store, the Google store also gives us access to the exact same thing. Simply access it and click on the upper part of the window where it indicates Movies, or use the search engine if we know what we want to see.
In the event that we choose to rent, as the page informs us, we will have exactly 30 days to view the content or 48 hours counting from the moment we hit play for the first time, so be careful if you rent it and don’t plan to watch it right away.
IPTV lists
IPTV lists have become today a widely used option to view content. These should not be associated with piracy (since that is what usually happens), since in the market there are legal options and even free.
To use 4K content with IPTV lists, we must bear in mind that we will have to do with a device that is compatibleand of course have an HDMI to connect to our television.
4K by Satellite
Watching 4K content via satellite may not be for everyone, but it is certainly an option just as valid as the others. Thanks to a good antenna we can have access to many channels to watch even free channels like Eurosport 4K.
Not only will we need an antenna for this, but we will also need a good Universal LNB that supports this resolution and a modern set-top box that also supports it.
Next generation consoles
Everything that we have brought you on this list is to watch movies, series and other multimedia content in 4K, but we cannot forget about the consoles. Both the consoles of the past generation (Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro) and the new ones are capable of show video games in 4K.
The latest console that Microsoft has launched on the market, Xbox Series X, is in fact capable of using backward compatibility to put old games in 4K and give it a second life. If your television is modern and has HDMI 2.1 you can also enjoy more than 100 Hz.
