Try it in Calibrated or Calibrated Dark mode. Change all the setting back that you've messed with and see if that improves it at all.
These TV's don't get very bright even though they are capable of supporting HDR. In order to do that they pump the brightness up so high that it starts to wash out the picture.

Make sure to check the output resolution on the cable box.

Your problem isn't 4k. You problem is that you're watching 1080i/p on a 70" display. You're never going to make it look good; all you can do is make it look less bad. Or you can move further from the TV (if possible).
If you want the picture to look good at 70" sitting close to the TV, you're going to need to feed it a better signal. Period.

I was watching a guy review the new Sony X95J and he talked about it's upscaling. LINK
Highly compressed cable signals are always going to look weird especially on a budget TV.
One option is to use the networks' apps if possible with your cable sign in. The signal is usually less compressed and looks and sounds better.

Upscaling is as good as you'll find on any TV in existence today. Still not a miracle worker, my local news stations whew it can get pretty ugly honestly but that's not the TV's fault.

Nothing wrong with your set.
Like someone else said, find a website like RTings and find a calibration guide.
I would also go into your settings and turn off all of the image processing or motion options. They are what give tv shows and especially movies the soap opera effect. They cause the tv to try and "guess" what is coming next and fill in the gaps. More than likely the calibration guide will suggest turning those off as they are well known to make a block buster movie look like it was filed on a camcorder.
