    OTA Antenna question

    I have a very nice Channelmaster OTA antenna on my roof and I get about 20+ channels but can not get my local CBS channel even though its not really a weak signal. I have tried everything and it only comes in if the weather is just right. I do have trees in front of it but I get weak obscure...

    Genie question- lost features vs DISH DVR

    I am seriously considering switching to direct tv from DISH. I was in Sams Club yesterday and they had some good promos (Free NFL package, $300 gift card, $65 locked in for 2 yrs if an ATT subscriber) but was wondering what I will lose with the DVR they will supply. I know I will lose the hopper...

    Can somebody set me straight on Blueray upscaling 4k?

    So who is a 4k upscaling BR designed for? A non 4k tv wouldnt show it and a 4k tv doesnt need it? Im going round and around with this one unless Im missing something here.

    Can somebody set me straight on Blueray upscaling 4k?

    So after doing some research on wether I need a new 4k upscaling blueray player for my new 4k TV, Im getting conflicting answers that dont make sense. The general consensus is that if the tv is 4k, you dont want 2 things doing the upscaling or the picture will be worse. So most say not needed...

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    I was reading about the Samsung panel lottery issue where you dont know who the manufacturer is. Does anyone know who makes the ED02 version panel sold by Sams Club? Cant seem to find it anywhere. The model is the Samsung UN55ju640d 4k set. Thanks

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    What is the main benefit of the 120/240 for an additional 300-400? I mean if money was no object then sure. I hear very good reviews for all those I mentioned.

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    Im sitting 9 feet away so I guess 1080P should be fine. As I understand it, unless you are 2-3 feet away, the naked eye cant see the difference and since I wear glasses, probably so.

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    Im considering the Samsung JS7000 SUHD in 50" ($799) or the Samsung J6300 in 55" or 50" ($699/ $629) (although I hear the 50 has inferior outsourced panels). All are 60 hz 120 motion rate sets .

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    The problem is the refresh rate. The affordable 4ks are 60mz or 120 motion for Samsung. If you want 120 mz or 240 motion rate, you have to pay 500 more. The salesmen told me if I was going to get (afford) a 60 mz then I should go with a 1080p cause it will handle the less pixels better than a...

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    Is the 4k upscaling noticeable better than the broadcast version of 1080i?

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    So than 4k is a total joke if theres not even any 1080p right? I mean like HDTV has been out 10 yrs or so and still no 1080P. Wow, Im shocked! Forget 4k then.

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    Is 4k worth it for $200-$250 more than a 1080P or will it be obsolete? I just dont see this catching on since bandwidth is at a premium but I could be wrong. Thanks much. BP

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    Anyone know how many 1080p channels are available on Dish? Im in the market for a new TV and trying to decide between 4k and 1080p. My thinking is there is not much content anywhere including OTA of 1080P let alone 4k. I think 4k is 5 yrs away from being mainstream, I mean we cant even get much...
