Yeah, hopefully it will make more sense when the schedule is full of events. And, hopefully the 4K channels will work as expected….

Channel 540-04 and 540-05 are both currently showing a Duke versus Notre Dame football game in 4K HDR.

They must be testing. This is not Olympics. But both show up as 3840 x 2160 4K and HDR. The picture and Guide are very dark.

This is a September 2020 game. They are replaying a clip of the last 6 minutes of the third quarter. You can tell they are making adjustments and the picture is getting brighter. The menus are still very dark.

I noticed that too. I just checked it for a minute, but I noticed it was dark and the menus were very dark.

It’s like watching the sausage being made. Who wants to do that?

I am back inside after doing 45 minutes of line trimming along my fence row.
It is now 2:07 PM and Dish must have finished their testing. Both 540-04 and 540-05 are back to the channel unavailable menu. Hopefully they were able to fix the darkness in the menu.

I'm on the E/A. I only have 540-1-2&3.
Disregard I had to add them into my favorites.

Anyone else have a 4k Joey to compare lineups?

I can see four different 4k channels on my Hopper 3, but the 4k Joey associated with the hopper only shows two channels.

My Hopper 3 shows 5 channels & 4KJ shows only two.

Same for me

Same…

I have a H3 and the Welcome Pack. 4K is not available for me.

Whatever contractual or technical issues prevented DISH from having the NBC 4K stream for the Olympics, I hope they resolve it by February if the Super Bowl is broadcast in 4K this year since NBC has it (and NBC seems likely to broadcast it in 4K since they already have experience with Notre Dame 4K broadcasts)

Opening ceremony looked pretty good on Youtube 4K. Audio was sometimes garbled for some of the spoken dialogue but the rest was fine. Also, some comments about 4K Joey handling. Not happening as it can’t deal with 4K HDR. Interesting though as my system told me it was 4K SDR (for Youtube) but could be wrong…. SJ

Checked the Dish 4K channels and still get HDCP errors. I reported this to Dish like 6 months ago and still not fixed? SJ

It handles 4K HDR fine. Just open up Amazon Prime Video and watch a movie like Coming 2 America 2.

The Olympic HDR channels don’t even show up in the guide for the Joey 4K. SJ

Yeah I know…

But again if you try Amazon Prime in the 4K Joey you can clearly see HDR does work on it.

DISH really botched this one.
