Interesting...at least you figured it out. :)
I imagine, just like when HD first arrived that there are not too many 4k channels available at the moment..
I do get 4K on Netflix, but I had to subscribe to 4K to get it, and stream it through a Roku Ultra box to the TV via the HDMI switch. My TV is a 2014 Samsung, so I think the newer TVs have these port inconsistencies figured out by now.
One thing I never got to use was the 3D glasses that came with the TV.
