As I think MM said, films could be another option. but if Sky started a 'Sky Movies 4K' channel, there is no way they would let VM have it. Maybe VM's PPV movies provider could include 4K movies?
VM will need to get a 4K box at some stage because Sky and BT are launching one and customers won't want to feel left behind. But the usefulness of a VM 4K box, ATM, is at best, minimal.

As you say Netflix and Amazon are available on your 4k TV already, as for films if you have Amazon or Netflix you will see very few movies available in 4k, that to is a situation where a studio doesn't want a new film to be available in 4k cinema quality for a cheap subscription, they want to be able to physically sell it for £25 when UHD blu-ray comes out, and the time and money that will be required to re-scan back catalogues will mean only films they can sell a lot of will be mastered first., don't expect to see a dedicated 4k film channel for many years, if ever.
