    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    You likely wouldn’t see any improvement on the 40”. I know if I had the same model of my 4K TV in 40” I would not be able to tell a difference myself. The PPI of your TV is 110, which is pretty good. The PPI on mine is only 67, and each individual pixel is more defined and spread out. The...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    In the section you’re referring to I was comparing *UHD* content on Dish, to *UHD* sources from the TV itself. All 4K sources besides the PPV, (from the Hopper or otherwise) was streaming over the internet. So Dish’s satellite/source compression wasn’t a factor on that part. As for the...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    Haha that is very well possible. Sony’s upscalers are the best in the biz for a reason [emoji14] Also you have a 55” screen, correct? I would imagine the effect would not be as noticeable. With a 65” screen or higher sitting somewhat close, you can definitely see improvements in the final...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    For settings on the TV, like the guy above me said, this is a good place to start: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8000/settings The free streaming show is called “Superstore”, and the entire 2nd season is available on Dish VOD in 4K. Thank you! Validation! And yes that happened to...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    The source is still 1080i, that obviously doesn’t change. But when you go full-screen in sports bar mode, the Hopper *receiver* is outputting that 1080i source in full 4K to the TV. My TV (and my eyes) aren’t lying about that. There is a very clear difference. If I just close sports bar mode...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    Yes I don’t believe this is “intended” functionality, which is why I call it a hack/workaround. By default the Hopper 3 receiver outputs 1080i at all times on the 1080i/1080p/4K setting unless a program is marked as 1080p or 4K. With Multiview/Sports Bar mode enabled in PIP however, the...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    Hey everyone! I just bought a brand new 65” Samsung KS8000 TV (which as an aside, I highly recommend as the best picture quality you can find on a TV of that size for the lowest price) on Black Friday to use with my Hopper 3 receiver I got a few months ago. So the last few days I’ve been...
