    World Cup in 4K?

    The Spain & Portugal game now seems to have a different main camera then the FOX feed. It's a zoomed-out wider view. Which I prefer because you can see more of the formation and play develop. The 4k resolution allows you to still identify players fairly well.

    World Cup in 4K?

    Well FS1 has gotten their announcers on the feed this AM, so that is an improvement. Picture still looks imperfect. I don't have an HLG capable TV, so maybe it's just the non-HDR version. It also appears they aren't using exclusive 4k cameras like the Olympic 4k coverage. It appears to be the...

    World Cup in 4K?

    I watched the first game today, broadcast was less than impressive. No announcers, elevated black levels, some pixelation (it could have been the surviving camera). Hopefully we get a better product tomorrow. Both of the past two Olympics have been much better, albeit not live.

    World Cup in 4K?

    So it does unfortunately look like FS1 games only, are going to be broadcast in 4k. Big FOX games are exclusive to your local affiliate. That's bad news for me as my local FOX (WFVX) is a substation of the ABC affiliate. Both have horrendous PQ with a horrible bitrate and only two channel...

    World Cup in 4K?

    I'm getting nervous Fox Sports still hasn't announced anything. Good news it, the exclusive OTT app requires a cable log-in: Hisense Launches Exclusive FOX Sports: 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Edition Application A LOT of the broadcast matches are on national FOX (just under half iirc?), which makes...

    The compression is getting out of hand

    WFVX up here is such garbage. I rue when they carry a football game I want to watch. Redzone is night and day better even though it's still 720p. When it comes to streaming... if you have above 25Mbps you should be fine, I think this is the max of any streaming service, (VUDU & Amazon iirc)...

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    I think the biggest issue with continued expansion is lack of production trucks. FS1 is using the GTX-18 which I think is limited in availability right now. (and probably super expensive) Networks seem to want seamless 4k to 1080i/720p scalability in production so there's no separate...

    Superbowl 4k

    Yep ALLLL about the ads and local affiliate contracts: http://www.sportsvideo.org/2017/01/17/fox-sports-to-offer-non-authenticated-live-stream-of-super-bowl-li-on-fox-sports-go/ With mobile you can surface local content easily via location features on the device. Much more difficult to do this...

    Unimas 408?

    Yeah my Dish type is SL3 LNB :( According to Dish pointer 119 has an 18.8 degree elevation from me. It looks like I'm getting a combo of Sats around 99-101 which are around 30 degrees. Thanks for the help guys!

    Unimas 408?

    I just got this installed in the spring and am pretty sure I have the 5 LNB setup as I am using a C61k for 4K (104-106). Is there anyplace in the software that will tell me?

    Unimas 408?

    Using scoreguide, tomorrows 7pm game is listed on 408 & 464. 464 is regular UniD which is showing Copa MX tonight, which is the more popular game.

    Unimas 408?

    It's disappeared from my guide. Was looking forward to some MLS tonight, but I can't tune the channel? I swear I was watching it earlier in the year. Did something change?

    Will DirecTV carry the Olympics in UHD HDR & Dolby Atmos?

    Atmos is about more than just the height channels. It puts sounds in spots around you (object based) and lets your receiver process them and apply them to your speaker layout. Sounds will play out of multiple speakers, at different levels to allow better 360 degree directionality of the sound...

    Obv 4/29 & 4/30 :biggrin I guess in my brain April is the spring version of October :coco.

    4K baseball Tonight

    Just got a message on my C61K (INFO Button>Messages) that the RedSox & Yankees will be on 106 on 10/29 & 10/30. I know this was already scheduled, but one would think Direct is confident they can get it done this time if they are pushing a message...

    Retention offers are worse.

    Exactly, don't call for a discount, call to cancel. "If you want a cat, ask for a horse."

    DTV to broadcast 25 MLB games in 4k

    Exactly! So if 4k becomes part of that narrative then more people will know about it. Nobody's cramming Giants & Dodgers down peoples throats. Don't forget where Pink Hat fans got invented. They spend money too, and often more.

    DTV to broadcast 25 MLB games in 4k

    I wonder if this is why they cancelled the 106 broadcast? The next broadcast according to the Press Release is the 19th: http://about.att.com/story/mlb_network_showcase_games_in_4k_ultra_hd.html Hopefully they get things sorted out by the time the Red Sox and Yankees play. Those games could...

    Hr54 4K

    I agree, while Dish has the better (much better?) STB, they don't have the actual thing that everybody wants, live 4k. I've gotten tired of Dish's 1440x1080p overly compressed signal and lack of CSNNE. Getting Direct tomorrow. HR54, two C61Ks :) If you are set with your viewing distance being...

    dish live 4k?

    Let's also remember that this time around, the CE technology is ahead of the broadcast technology. 4k LCD panels are super easy and cheap to make for TV manufacturers. That is why they are basically only manufacturing them now vs HD. If you're in the market for a new TV you have to go out of you...

    DTV to broadcast 25 MLB games in 4k

    They would have needed the Leafs to make the Playoffs for that to happen. Thus they wrote that off in November. ;) The Leafs are the only NHL team to have their arena fully set-up for 4k (through Rogers/Sportsnet). I expect 4k to take off next NHL season though, but the question is, will the...

    Hr54 4K

    It will depend on if your AVR can pass-through HDMI 2.0(HDMI 2.0a not required I'm pretty sure) and HDCP 2.2 Alternatively, you can use the Optical outputs of the C61K to send 5.1 to your receiver. I don't think the touted 7.1 offering of the Direct TV 4k can be sent via optical though as this...

    DirecTV Tees Up Live 4K Will Offer Live UHD Broadcast From ‘Amen Corner’ at 2016 Masters Tourney

    85Mpbs!?!?1 Is this in HEVC? This should be like... the best thing ever seen!

    The Masters...

    Wasn't there an issue with RVUs doing 24hz instead of 60hz? Has this been fully resolved? This would explain the choppiness? Also, do we know how many 4k cameras are actually there? Direct is saying "From Amen Corner" which to me means, they are only 4k at those holes. See...
