Probably not. If you have a 4K 75" TV and are sitting 12 feet or more from the set you probably can't tell the difference between a 1080p signal upscaled by the TV to 4K and a true 4K signal. YMMV as some sets may upscale better than others. In the case of a network sending out an upscaled 4K signal, they may do a better job of upscaling than your TV.

I certainly couldn't tell the difference.
