I'll say the same thing here about 4k that has been said in the Directv threads, until 4k is proven to be a viable platform, you might as well stick with what you have now. Wait maybe 5 years to see how 4k has panned out. Is it here to stay or will it go the way of 3D? Hold onto your Hoppers with Slings, Super Joeys, & regular/wireless Joeys. 4k is worthless to me because, even if I had a 4k TV, my internet doesn't support, it doesn't have enough speed for me to watch ANYTHING in 4k. How many channels with Dish, just like Directv, put out to justify having a 4k TV at this time. If the new LNB's & new Hopper is for 4k only(meaning the only thing that it can do that the current Hopper with Sling cannot, is record in 4k), then just wait before upgrading. Directv's new Genie, the HR54, can only record 4k programming, you can't watch 4k with it, you need the C61k client to do that, will Dish be the same way?
