As noted in one of several other UHD speculation threads, the UHD Joey install will likely be pretty much the same as any other Joey install.
Thanks for the info. I am one of them die hards that don't want the 4K Joey at the primary TV. I am hoping the next super Hopper coming out someday will be 4K and will install it at my primary TV. I plan on installing 4K Joey on a secondary TV out in the garage where my original Joey is now. Started looking for good deals on 40 inch 4K TVs. Can someone take a peak at this model and let me know what you think? Thanks for the help. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN40JU6400FXZA
A 4K hopper is speculative. So far, to the best of my knowledge, nothing has been said it will have 4K capabilities. There was speculation that it has 16 tuners, but that was proven to be near impossible with current technology for a reasonable price. Until they announce it, it is all just speculation. I am just really wanting it to have the option to have more control throughout the home from the Hopper.
It may be "speculative" but it is a no brainer that the next big Hopper will be 4K. At 2015 Team summit in May, I was told by someone fairly high up at Dish that there is a radical new "Hopper" that wasn't being talked about at that time, but would be at CES or the next Team Summit.
Unless it came from Mr. Khemka, that it would be UHD capable was probably just someone's pipe dream; possibly yours if you equated "radically new" with UHD.
"radically new" was a paraphrase, I can't remember the exact words he used. We will see, it just seems logical that if there is some new big Hopper change/upgrade being released after the 4K joey, that it would be 4K as well.
OK, thanks. I will check it out. Again, what exactly does that Evolution upgrade ready do?
In the specs for the Samsung 6400 model it says Evolution Ready (Future Proof Only). Do I need to get an Evolution box? Not understanding what Evolution ready means.
There would appear to be at least two Evolution possibilities. The one for the 6400 is called "future-proof only" and that carries all the way through the 8500.
I wish I could find in the Samsung site some kind of knowledge base that explains what all the TV spec terms mean. The reason I want to stick to a 40 inch 4K is because this TV will be out in my garage where I am going to put the 4K Joey. Anything larger will be an overkill from where I sit to view TV.
They do love to throw the marketing terms around. I've not been able to find anything that really gets down and dirty about what the levels mean and I expect that is the way Samsung wants it. Sales engineering is cheaper than electrical engineering.
Yep, I hear ya. I went ahead and ordered the 4K 40" Samsung UN40JU6400. Found the lowest price for $447. The reviews were about in the middle. It is just for my garage so it should be good enough.
