Did a 4 box swap replace job the other day. HR 54 and 3 C61K clients. Problem is. They have 3 4k televisions. But can only watch 1 in 4k at a time. other 4k clients say already turn off other client to view 4k. Anyone else had this happen?
They will eventually.That sucks.
Why can't Directv come out with a 4K receiver that does not require clients.
Probably not that many because they dont really have the room for it and certainly not the 50 channel 4K capacity DirecTV has now.
They are trying to make room. They shut down a ton of SD feeds on eastern arc last week and are getting rid of QPSK receivers
Wow, I never looked into the math, but thats a HUGE amount for UHD, but it sounds right seeing your getting 4 x the info.You figure it's about 15 SD channels= 4-6 HD Channels = 1 UHD channel. SD running about 2 megs each, HD at 6-8 megs each and UHD at approx 27 megs with some overhead depending on statistical muxing and content. Depending on the bandwidth of a transponder and its transmission settings, you can get 1.5 - 2 UHD channels on a transponder.
I'm amazed that it's taking them this long to figure out how to do UHD, but then again they (E*/Dish) said KA couldn't work either and DirecTV has been using KA for quite some time without any issues.

I think E just didn't want to get into the KA stuff ... many E people are happy about that as they don't have to then have a different dish/LNB, like D* is currently doing.
