    Dish H3 4K using splitter to two 4K sets

    Yes, but I understood that to be normal. Putting 4K into the projector over longer than normal cables is what I believe to be the main reason it takes about 90 seconds to fully lock picture & sound. Total length of HDMI from H3 (upstairs) to the input of the UHD Blu-ray player (basement) is 50'...

    Dish H3 4K using splitter to two 4K sets

    I recently installed a Sony VPL-VW 385 ES home theater projector & I decided to give Dish Network's 4K receiver, the Hopper 3, a try. As our theater is located some distance away from where the H3 is located I wasn't sure how our 50' long older HDMI cable would work. We rarely watch Dish Net in...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Watching one of the recent 4K NCAA Football games on my 55" Samsung isn't much different than 1080. I was not impressed. Maybe a slight color improvement but debatable if there's higher detail. But, I recently upgraded our home theater to a Sony 4K projector & just watched a 4K game on 102"...

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with EHD. I believe most issues with H3 have been resolved & stable now with the latest updates. You can transfer your current recordings to H3 via a USB connected hard drive with sufficient memory for large files & your current Dish DVR has this capability. We have one...

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Here's my Dish service rep most recent reply to this issue; "I apologize for the delay in answering. I was waiting to see if any additional situations popped up similar to yours. Unfortunately, there’s nothing else that can really be done considering what we have already done. We had...

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    It was worth a try. Seems like only a few experienced this so why didn't everyone have this issue?

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Before channel 540 was cancelled it cutout several times. According to Dish, I'm the only one have this issue which I find hard to believe. When 540 was up I would check during the week several times to see if the sound but black picture reoccurred, & occasionally it did. Sometime it would...

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    My H3 is to be replaced. New one has been ordered & should be here mid-week. I hope this solves the issue.

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Dish sent a tech out to check the sat dish to make sure it was aimed correctly. The guy said it was & left. Since then I've had 3 of these sound with dark screen. Two self reset & the other was just 10 minutes before last Saturday's broadcast of PE2.

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Thanks Mark, I will. BTW, I don't have a Joey just an H3. Over the weekend I had the same issue 3x. The first was early Saturday before Planet Earth II was broadcast. The second & third times I was shocked to see H3 actually fixed itself. That's a first!

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Hi Mark, thanks for responding. It's odd that my reporting to Dish Case manager Michael H is not on file. I have spoken to him several times about this over the last month since the BBC began this broadcast. And, I have made inquires on this site's Planet Earth II thread about this as well. As...

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    Hi everyone. I've been working to resolve an issue I have with my H3 with a Dish tech. The tech says he has not found any complaints such as mine & I thought I'd ask our forum members if they had a similar issue. During last summer's Olympics Dish offered free 4k on a dedicated channel but I...

    4k from BBCA

    My remote has a mute button so I have no problem with the "shameless hawking" of other BBCA shows. It's a small price to pay for 4k & the quality of the program. ;):D

    I have checked ch 540 through out the week & all has been normal. Early Saturday afternoon I checked ch 540 & it once again had sound but a blank, black screen. After resetting H3 all was normal & still is this Sunday morning. I checked the DVR recording & it was fine. Not sure what's going on...

    Thanks, Camo! Could be. Saturday when this first happened I unplugged the HDMI cable, waited 5 seconds, & plugged back in without solving the issue. Reset did fix it. I know my cables are complaint. If no one else is experiencing an issue like this it has to have something to do with Dish...

    I hope this isn't another issue with H3 but it looks like it. In a previous post I mentioned ch 540 had sound but a blank, black screen at the start of Planet Earth II in 4k. A reset fixed that. I was able to record the balance of the show & recorded the replay at 12 AM EST on 540 to catch the...

    Had to push red reset to re-boot Dish to fix the issue. Missed the first few minutes but recorded the re-run in full @ 12AM EST. The audio was bad through our surround system so when to basic TV sound which clarity was better.

    Just checked (8:35 EST) ch 540 & getting sound but a black screen. Odd. Had a desert scene earlier today. Hope there's nothing wrong.

    Very true! I had previously set ch 135 HD to recorder the series then I heard of 4k being available. I set cg 540 to record as well but noticed ch 135 is now marked skip over.

    Being it was recorded on Dish, I'm guessing Dish would detect your HD set & just might downgrade the rez to HD. Your HD set probably will not down rez 4k for you. I do know by experience that Dish down rezed last summer's Olympics to HD even though the channel was 4k. But, it wouldn't hurt to...

    Camo - Here's what I'm using, AV Access HDMI 2.0 splitter purchase on Amazon. As I mentioned in a previous post my original splitter did not pass 4k at all, even with just the 4k TV plugged into it. It probably worked with the older HDMI / HDCP standards but not the new. I wrote warning...

    It's just my wife & I so we don't need Joeys all over the house. I installed a splitter years ago that were 4k compatible "then". After H3 & purchasing a Samsung 4k set there wasn't any 4k on to test this setup until last years Olympics. It took a day or 2 to realize something was wrong because...

    During last summers Olympics while Dish was replaying events in 4k I had that same result. I had my Dish / 4k setup on a splitter with 2 other HD sets. This caused H3 to down rez 4k to 1080i. Apparently, HDCP causes H3 to do this because of copy protection. Once I disconnected H3 from the...
