Here in Phoenix there isn’t a single channel broadcasting in true 1080i. The stations have added sub-channels left and right. If you have ever viewed 1080i directly from a network satellite feed, it is dramatically better than what we get over the air. Since one cannot tell what detail is...

I use my Yamaha remote to turn my C61K on and off. The button quit working and I bought a replacement Yamaha remote. I can’t find a code for the C61K that will work. I think a DirecTV tech set up my Yamaha remote when he installed the C61K. Does anyone know what a good code might be?

I see in the guide that DTV will show a replay of today's Arizona Diamondbacks and the St. Louis Cardinals game at 6:30pm MST. Tonight's replay wasn't in their previous schedule. Even though the Dbacks lost today, I'm glad to see my first local team in 4K. If the game had been live, Phoenix...

From Sports Video Group DirecTV’s slate of live 4K HDR events features the following: The Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Vegas Golden Knights today at 10 p.m. ET simulcast of NHL Network The Brian Setzer Orchestra’s 14th annual “Christmas Rocks!” concert live from the Granada Theatre in Santa...

Yeah I know. DTV had forty stations in their database for Phoenix and Tucson, and I used to get them all. Now they have significantly reduced the database or something else is going on.

Same here for my HR54. I called DirecTV and finally talked to a tech person. He blamed it on many things except DTV. I got mad and started yelling, then hung up. The next day the HR54 recognized the AM21. When I did a search for stations, it only found three. I can receive forty or so OTA...

From DirecTV: Good news: More NBA 4K including one game in HDR Bad news: You need an NBA League Pass to watch. National Basketball Association 10/31 – Oklahoma vs Milwaukee, 8:00pm ET* 11/6 – Brooklyn @ Phoenix at 9:00 pm ET* 11/7 – Oklahoma City @ Sacramento at 10:00 pm ET* 11/20 –...

I watched some of the Raptors vs Spurs game yesterday and thought it was stunning. There were a couple of short glitches, but nothing major. I had set it up to record, but the guide was screwed up and I got three hours of the ATT logo recorded at 3:00 am the morning before the game was played...

Same here on HR54.

Who will carry the World Series?

Saw this on Sports Video Group page. Fox Sports is continuing down the 4K path this college-football season, producing and delivering one game a week in 4K for such providers as DirecTV. The 13-game effort, which marks Fox Sports’ first multigame 4K package to date, begins this weekend with...

I have a solid 6 foot dish ($25 Craigslist) and a K1 plus 4K receiver ($60 eBay). Good reception of NASA 4K here in Phoenix. The 6 footer is too small for other 4K transponders. The material on NASA gets pretty old pretty quickly.

Review of the U5 PVR on cnx-software.com in two parts. I wonder when someone will make a receiver that works out of the box.

The U5 PVR deluxe looks really interesting. It's for sale at AliExpress.com.

I posted this on What's Up There and got no responses. So I'll try here. TVROsat.com lists another 4K channel on 127W. 4170 H 10100-3/4 Can anyone verify this?
