    “THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” GAMES OFFERED IN 4K ON FOX

    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...

    Need Help With Remote Code

    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?

    Baseball in 4K

    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...

    Genie HR44 receiver no longer recognizing AM21

    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.

    Genie HR44 receiver no longer recognizing AM21

    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...

    4K Programming

    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...

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    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...

    Need Help Getting Into C-Band FTA For NASA UHD

    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.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    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.

    4K on 127W

    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?

    Masters 4K on channel 105 and 106

    When I tried to change from one 4K channel to another 4K channel, I lost the audio. I had to select a non-4K channel and then go to the other 4K channel! Not very user friendly.

    Kijiji, eBay, and Craigslist dishes for you to take a look at

    Here are a couple of items listed in the Phoenix Craig's List under electronics. I bought one of the 6 footers over a year ago for $25 including a free LNBF. They need a little touch up for paint and dings. The receiver with the 10 footer looks new!

    4K on 103W with an 8 foot dish?

    Thanks Scott. Here in sunny Arizona I'm in shorts and a tee shirt. I guess it's fine with me if you huddle indoors.

    4K on 103W with an 8 foot dish?

    I doubt that an 8 foot dish will work for the 4K transponder on 103W, but I wonder if any of you have tried it. My 6 footer will get the NASA 4K channel on 127W, it won't handle the higher FEC on 103W.

    K I Plus Question

    I bought it from Amazon for $68. There are different versions out there and I made sure I got one with the Amlogic S905 processor. I'm not promoting the seller I used, but the receivers are shipped from the U.S. Mine arrived in two days with Amazon Prime shipping. I can provide more info on...

    K I Plus Question

    I bought a KI Plus to get the NASA 4K channel. Getting the channel was pretty easy, but I need help with one issue on the receiver. When I'm entering something that calls up the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, I can't figure out how to OK or ENTER the data. Selecting the return arrow key does just...

    4K Question

    One thing that I found interesting is that you can play back a 4K program on a non 4k TV with a reduced resolution. I had to substitute a 720p TV for my 4K TV for a few days, and I could watch the 4K programming both new and recorded at 720p. This was with a C61K and HR54. I don't know why you...

    4K Question

    If you can watch the original in 4K, you can record it 4K and watch the recording in 4K. At least that is the case with an HR54 and a C61K at my house.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I saw this review of the Wetek Play 2 on satforums.com. You can long-in as a guest. I had read on the Wetek forums that users were having a problem getting the hdmi to output 4k. This reviewer is using a 1080 display, but has verified recordings on a 4k display. Can anyone confirm that the...
