    4K Events Discussion Thread

    LG OLED is coming in 4K on Dish 540 and looking pretty damn good. Not the least bit washed out. Then again the LG does a pretty good job of up converting to 4K, some times it's hard to tell the difference. Studio stuff is very sharp. Commercials, my TV might have done a better job of up...

    Great, I'll be watching it in 4K then. For some reason I'm no longer receiving notifications on this thread. It's a gmail address, logged into the web interface to make sure gmail wasn't blocking it (I hate that they do that) but not hung up there. Both this thread and the non discussion 4K...

    OK, so the Super Bowl is going to be in 4K. Usually a good thing but . . . half the reason you watch the Super Bowl is for the commercials especially if you could care less about the teams playing. No commercials on the 4K feed (usually a good thing) I think I will be letting my TV up covert...

    OK, my OTA guide has come back. Thank god, it was a real pain in the posterior to set up manual timers.

    So I guess the sub channel guide information is handled differently than the .01 stream?

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Up until the software update U536 all the channels in my market were working just fine. Tuesday, complete channel listing, Wedensday screwed channel listings. One of the interesting things (if you can call it that) is that all the sub channels have complete listing while the main .01 stream is...

    I do not subscribe to locals so I only have OTA guide. Is your guide showing the dish local and then the OTA locals. Example, 05, 05.01, 05.02 . . . My guide would be just 05.01, 05.02 . . . I am using the same dual OTA tuner from AirTV.

    Mark609, what software version are you on? Hit menu key twice to get to the info page. U536 hit me Wednesday morning which broke the OTA guide.

    OK, my 48 hour time period has elapsed with no improvement to OTA guide situation. I called back in and got sent up to a specialist who ran diagnostics and hymed and hawed about how Dish didn't own OTA guide. I asked if they dropped support for OTA which they haven't and had a policy changed...

    What has worked well for me is using Plex DVR (I bought a Plex Lifetime pass when it was on sale) which I have 2 Silicon Dust HD HomeRun Extend boxes which gives me 4 tuners. You can get a Silicon Dust 4 tuner box but I wanted the Extend Hardware compression to take the work off of my computers...

    I look forward to the first person to try the quad tuner with a Hopper. If it works, like the first person who tried the Air TV tuner with the Hopper, it will cause a flood of orders. It might be like the first person who every ate an egg????

    For those of you who's OTA guide is still working what software version is running on your Hopper? (hit menu twice and it will bring you to the info screen) U536 which was installed on my machine on 6/19 at 12:21am is where your OTA guide will go to hell. Tomorrow is the end of the 48hr time...

    Hooper with Sling Box, which I believe is the Hopper 2 and Hopper 3 are hardwired. Kind of ridiculous being that most everything else has a detachable power cord.

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    And if you can't make it easy to download the guide why the hell is the power cable hard wired? LOTS of Hoppers if not most are buried deep in equipment cabinets which makes it VERY difficult to get to the power plug. Since a hard reboot is a problem solver I've put a switchable extension cord...

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Actually a red button reboot does not download the guide. You have to do a hard reset (unplug the box) to get the guide to download. Yes, that's the first thing I did before calling tech support.

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    My H3 went through a software update last night. I know this because the Home Media app in the main menu, which I use on a daily basis, has changed location and now there is a new message app. I also know because now none of the timers for local channels are running. I have daily timers for...

    Any ETA on a 4 turner version? Do you think it would work with the Hooper as an OTA tuner? Do you think the Hooper would see all 4 tuners? I know, lots of do you thinks :) I'm using the 2 tuner AirTV module as a backup OTA recording. I've got 4 HDHomeRun tuners recording via Plex DVR...

    I don't believe that the H3 does Netflix in 4K but I could be wrong. I watch 4K Netflix with the built in app on my LG TV. That is my biggest source of 4K, nearly all their series are in 4K. You can also get a 4K fire stick for next to nothing that will do all the services in 4K. H3 is only...

    Free Previews

    bgee posted Showtime Free Preview on 3/16. I got that via the email notification. That post isn't showing up in this thread and Showtime isn't in Free Preview on Dish anyway. Is that preview going on, on DirecTv?

    Sorry, basketball to me is a waste of bandwidth. Fox does lots of major league baseball. Have they had baseball in 4K in the past?

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Don't you have a tuner on your TV? It means you'd have to run an antenna line to each TV, which I have. Anytime all the Hooper tuners are occupied I just switch to the TVs tuner if there's a 3rd OTA I want to watch.

    Came in yesterday as scheduled. UPS was the problem there. If I had ordered a pair of socks from Amazon it would have arrived at 7 am. Since it was something I was waiting for it came in at 7 pm (6:58 to be exact) My wife is taping the damn Australian Open Tennis Tournament and you have to...

    Then why don't they do that on their own web store? Why only on eBay and on limited items, probably the same they are selling eBay? Turns customers like me away especially since in a vast majority of times you can find the same item on Amazon for less and free shipping.

    Update on AirTv replacement. Replacement turned around next day, due in tomorrow according to the tracking number. Seems like this is a bad business model. See my above statement. Example of a good business model.
