DirecTV Stream does not offer 4K programming. Using apps, you may be able to stream 4K. Of course that depends on your device, the app being used, and the content.

You can use 3rd party apps, but the 4K is only upscaled to 4K. Not true 4K. The box has its own PlayStore version of Google.

You have to check with the service you are using --in terms of 4k content. (Netflix, etc. ) I've watched 4k content on my Dtv Stream box. I have the Parmount plus/Showtime bundle and watched Your Honor in 4k.

The simple answer is yes. 

The Stream device hardware supports 4k, so if the third-party app supports 4k (and the content of interest is 4k), it will be output in 4k.
