I don't own a 4K tv but was just curious when I checked. Expected to get hits when I searched daredevil 2160 or daredevil 4k but none appeared.
I think that is because the only way of watching these shows in 4K is either on internal Smart TV players (where the data remains sealed off from prying eyes) or possibly on the Sony and/or Samsung HDCP 2.2 external media boxes (where it is protected). You can't watch the 4K stuff on a normal platform (PC, Tablet etc.) yet AFAIK.
This means that it isn't possible to capture the 4K video in any real way. I may be wrong - but that is my understanding. (And if you could break HDCP 2.2 and get a 4K HDMI feed there aren't that many 4K HDMI 2.0 capture solutions out there yet to capture and re-encode from)
