    DIRECTV Airing More Shows In 4K & HDR

    So that's a big fat no for 4K Olympic coverage? Thought there were rumors circulating about this.

    The compression is getting out of hand

    I get 250Mbps down in NY. There is a noticeable drop in quality once you move into 65" and higher. Like I said before, it still looks incredible on my 42" plasma. As more and more consumers buy into the large screen format, I have a feeling there will be some changes coming.

    Same. I guess we just have to deal?

    The compression is getting out of hand

    Yep I have it too and it looks great. But now today’s problem is NBC 4 hockey is grainy and sh*t. The NBC sports stream isn’t any better.

    The compression is getting out of hand

    Same here. I'm still stuck though because I do appreciate the value of having access to all the sports I do in every room of the house. Not just the one or two smart tv's and apple tv's etc. Otherwise I'm more than ready to make the jump. Only issue that isn't solved reliably/legally is being...

    The compression is getting out of hand

    I didn't think of this. It seems as if Directv is grabbing the signal for WNYW at the WWOR channel 9 facility at 9 Broadcast Plaza Secaucus, NJ 07094 (201) 348-0009 Do we call their engineer in these instances or no point?

    The compression is getting out of hand

    They have fallen behind as TV's got larger. They still look outrageously good on my 42" Panasonic Plasma from 2009. I've found many streams to be far better quality than what Directv is pumping out these days.

    I'm in NY- so WNYW I'm telling you it's a mess.

    The compression is getting out of hand

    Thank you. I didn't think I'd be the only one to notice this. 65" Samsung KS8000 here.

    What size and type of TV?

    The compression is getting out of hand

    Some channels are becoming borderline unwatchable with what I'm assuming is compression. Prime example is today's Lions Vikings game on channel 5- artifacts, blurry, awful. It looks like 1997. I switch to my AppleTV Gen 4, load up Fox Sports Go and the stream is 100000x sharper, clearer and no...

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    With the way most major ISPs are (I get 200Mb down) why aren't providers looking at offering 4K streaming instead? It would seem like an easier proposition to distribute. Amazon, Netflix all do it, and do it well.

    What cheat code do I have to enter on my touch tone phone to reach the "correct" people when calling CUSTOMER SERVICE?

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    I open a chat request just to fulfill some kind of sick humor each day. These turds have no clue what's going on- you have to almost feel bad for them. "I have escalated to our internal programming team". They can never answer a direct question, just stock canned responses that help no one. My...

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    No I don't. But they've updated this page all year. At the very least, give us SOMETHING. We're paying for it.

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    Still nothing for 4K programming for October. They still haven't added any 4K MLB playoffs to the guide........

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    FWIW- I opened a chat request with DTV today asking where the hell is the updated 4K programming for October. They said there is an "issue" with the page and it should be up in 48hrs.

    Where is the 2017 4K sports content?

    It is frustrating but I do believe they are at the mercy of the networks. A lot of these broadcasts are still in what I would consider the "experimental" stage. We were literally notified a few days ago of the upcoming MLB playoff 4K broadcasts. We will get all AL rounds in 4K produced by FS1...

    Directv to air MLB Playoffs on FS1 in 4K

    Yep, TBS has the NL and I don't think they have anything in the way of 4K as of yet.

    Directv to air MLB Playoffs on FS1 in 4K

    So I've seen several ads in my Facebook news feed for this. I can't find the direct link any longer. But it appears all wildcard, first and second round action of the American League only on FS1 will be in 4K. Unfortunate that none of the NL games will be in 4K, but this is at least a start. I...

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

    Fair enough. With sports, it's not just about the money. There are a ton of logistics that need to be taken into consideration in how the signal is transmitted and uplinked to all the various providers going forward.

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

    Disagree. 4K is what HD was when there was only SD in the early stages. More and more content will be pushed out, including streaming providers like Amazon who I think will be the first to carry a 4K NFL broadcast. The content is relatively sparse, but just enough 4K sports to keep me happy and...

    NHL Pre-season blackout

    This will usually happen when NHL Network has national rights to the game but I don't recall if this game was being aired there.

    Guide consistently showing wrong content on 104

    All in 4K.. I wouldn't consider anything they're showing on 104 to be "major" outside of live events and sports. This has been going on for at least 2-3 weeks, maybe more. But yeah, I guess they just don't care enough.
