    Price increase greetings from the Deathstar

    I canceled service today. Offered $50 off for a year but I declined.

    Price increase greetings from the Deathstar

    Which is exactly why it makes little sense to me to keep paying for Directv 4K.

    Price increase greetings from the Deathstar

    I get my RSN from YouTube.tv. I got in at $35 per month just before the increase to $40. It's a great deal for me as it includes The Golf Channel. To get the Golf Channel in Directv Now I would need the Go Big package at $65; $30 more for just that one channel in my case. I lowered my...

    Adding a C61K not purchased from Direct.

    If I purchase a C61K from Solid Signal to replace one standard mini, and they activate it for me... will Directv lock me into a new contract because of the equipment change? I currently have a HR54, one C61K, and one standard mini. Edit: This FAQ from Solid Signal seems to answer my question...

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    Select package is all that is required. It was an ATT support forum post by an ATT representative that incorrectly reported the Ultimate requirement.

    DirecTV HLG HDR

    It is possible that the tx-nr656 does not yet support HLG. Try bypassing the Onyko and connect directly to the LG.

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    Atmos audio was a bust for the opening ceremony rebroadcast. At least until I disconnected my center channel speaker and turned up the volume to reference level. Otherwise all you can hear are the NBC talking heads.

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    On channel 106 now in HLG HDR and Atmos. HR54 Genie and C61K 4K client. C61K -> Denon x6400h -> LG OLED B7A. My LG reports HLG HDR. My Denon AVR reports Dolby Atmos. Signal format is 4K60 4:2:0 BT.2020 12-bit. C61K Audio Settings for Dolby Audio reports Dolby Digital Plus / Dolby Atmos...

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    4K (down converted from 8K feeds), HLG HDR, and Atmos. I hope that Directv is going to include all that NBC is making available. Blogs | Sports Video Group “We are taking the 8K feeds with HDR from NHK and downconverting them to 4K in the HLG [format]. We have a couple of circuits going home...

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    I just called Directv Customer Support. The representative told me there is no Ultimate Package requirement. I told him about the ATT Customer Support post to the ATT Forum and he said it was an error. It is being escalated to correct it.

    Upcoming Events in 4K

    What's with the redirect to a viglink Mayfair Shopping Ad? Getting paid for Ad redirects? Removed bad link.

    Directv to air Olympics in 4K on 106.

    But the Ultimate package is required. I would rather it be Pay Per View than have to upgrade my package.

    Next Generation DTV NOW Coming This Spring

    Why are there posts regarding satellite receivers in this Directv Now thread? I am interested in what might be coming next for Directv Now, not trouble shooting satellite and on demand issues.

    Getting 4K HDR

    If your TV reports that it is receiving HLG then you are getting Directv HLG. My 2017 LG OLED also reports receiving HLG for channels 104 and 106. Directv is not sending HDR10. It is HLG. I believe the 2017 Vizio TVs received an update to support HLG. My LG switches to a HDR picture mode...

    DIRECTV Airing More Shows In 4K & HDR

    There was delayed 4K coverage of some events during the last Summer Olympics on Channel 106, so why should we not expect the same for the upcoming Winter games? South Korea has already deployed ATSC 3.0 and broadcasters have full time 4K channels, although much of the content is still HD...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    On both 104 and 106, you will get 4K60 4:2:0 12-bit BT2020. Channel 104 used to be 4K24 before the HLG HDR update. On TVs that have a HDMI Standard and Enhanced mode, most will require Enhanced.

    Pink screen after update

    Turn off i/p Scaler in your X4200W Video settings if it is enabled. The AVR is not able to successfully upscale the new signal format that Directv is sending for the HD channels. I had the same pink video until I turned off up scaling.

    New update with HDR causing picture issues

    I don't know what Directv's intentions are but I find this strange. Channel 104 is sending HLG HDR as confirmed by my HDFury Vertex. Input signal: 4K60 4:2:0 BT.2020 12-bit HDR EOTF: HLG ITU-R BT.2100-0 This looks good. But when I change to a SDR channel such as 101 Audience my Vertex is...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    It see Does your TV support HLG HDR? Seems that Directv has chosen HLG for their HDR and not HDR10 or Dolby Vision. HLG was specifically developed with broadcast TV in mind. Unfortunately I downgraded my package from Xtra last week so I could not view the hockey game last night. Should be...

    First NHL 4K Hockey Game on DirecTv

    Unfortunately I downgraded my package from Xtra last week. It was needed for NHL 4k. AT&T to Launch First 4K High Dynamic Range Live Broadcast What the article doesn't mention is that the HDR is HLG, not HDR10 or Dolby Vision. So the true HDR experience will only be available to those with...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    I think that the only programming that will be HDR will be occasional 4K programs that have been mastered with HDR. And would only be available on Channels 104 and 106 plus OnDemand 4K content. It's not likely that Directv will apply fake HDR to everything. So yes, I believe a C61K would be...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    My C61K got the update and I see the Color option under Display. But it is grayed out. My HR54 has not yet got the update so that is probably why I can't select it. Both C61K and HR54 need to be running with the update.

    Just want to make sure I have this 4k stuff correct

    I have an issue when changing the channel on the C61K from 106 (4k60) or from DVR recording (4K60) to any 1080i or 720p channel. It is not a C61K freeze. I get a loss of video sync from the C61K to my JVC RS500 projector. Just a black screen that reports no input. I have to do a quick power...

    First NHL 4K Hockey Game on DirecTv

    It will likely be blacked out for viewers in Vegas and Pittsburgh. I expect that the same blackout policy will be in effect as with the NBA 4K games.
