Scott that new Server that outputs to 4k over HDMI that will be out in a year will just have the current guide on it?
No idea. I was told that server may not see the light of day or only be used in commercial establishments. They wouldn't give more details.Scott that new Server that outputs to 4k over HDMI that will be out in a year will just have the current guide on it?
If I had to guess I would say that is accurate, however should know more in about 2 1/2 hours or so.so there may be no plan for a new unit for normal users?
They're waiting over a year because 4K standards are still getting worked out.over a year? way too long. find out if they are prepared to lose subs over the wait
Scott does the guide run fast on the 4k sets? Also when I tried it on my Samsung 2012 the guide and PQ looked washed out even adjusting the settings.I have both RVU and a C61K and the RVU has been working for me better than the C61K
Why does the ATSC 3.0 standards have anything to do with AT&T waiting for a year to release a new STB that does 4K via it's HDMI and not needing a client? AT&T doesn't care about OTA reception anymore so that's not the reason for a holdup.They're waiting over a year because 4K standards are still getting worked out.
Ask anyone in broadcasting and they'll tell you this.
There is no risk in waiting; there'd be a bigger risk in making the wrong investment now.
Not Scott but I can tell you the difference using the RVU client on a Samsung 2016 model vs a Samsung 2013 is night and day. If it wasn't for the client not supporting screen fit mode I'd probably give back the C61K and just use the client.Scott does the guide run fast on the 4k sets?

Because it's not just ATSC standards. I've posted previously about this. Most high-def shops are waiting on both protocol and physical topology standards to be set before they make the same (or greater) sunk cost in 4K as they have in HD.Why does the ATSC 3.0 standards have anything to do with AT&T waiting for a year to release a new STB that does 4K via it's HDMI and not needing a client?

And again what does that have to do with why AT&T would wait? Whatever broadcasters decide to do on their end is up to them, as long as the standard between the set top box and the TV's HDMI input isn't changing who cares about the production end of the equation?Because it's not just ATSC standards.

Remember -- most broadcasters are only at 720p/1080i. They'd have to make a similar major investment just to get to 1080p.
None of this is simply flipping a switch.
Why should a business invest in change that won't be realized until later? Most cost decisions are to resolve issues now, not for things that could potentially change in major ways.And again what does that have to do with why AT&T would wait?

How so, is DISH doing 4K with a recvr yet ?How utterly disappointing, if true, that a true 4k receiver is a year away. AT&T has REALLY fallen behind Dish on the hardware front.
