Comcast NBC 4k HDR college football / News article

[bjf]

Saw this news article.

I was not aware that NBC was doing any 4k sports until I saw a grid of 4k sports and saw the Notre Dame game.

Which a poster here mentioned it was one of four games 10/12 on DTV.

In searching it appears Comcast is now in the game of 4k HDR live sports.

Here's a news link about this and shows upcoming NCAA football games.
It appears all have been shown in Sept-Oct. .
I'm guessing they will add one or two weekly through the full season.

Comcast Airing College Football In 4K HDR - The TV Answer Man!

and it's mentioned in this link.

4K Ultra HD (UHD) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) on Xfinity TV – Xfinity

They also mention the UK soccer matches they've done for a while now but they are not producing them just showing them on Comcast / Xfinity like Directv does.

Anyway thought some of you might like to read this.

Seems little by little 4k and 4k HDR live sports are finally happening.

I do like how Comast is showing both a 4k SDR and 4k HDR version of the game all their 4k customers can watch the game. Smart move. Normally you'd never say smart and NBC / Comcast in the same thought. lol
Of course it's probably just their own content that they are doing that but still a very good move.

Lastly, Anyone have any details on these NBC 4k HDR games.
Are they also 1080P HDR upconverted to 4k HDR like Fox?
Or the real deal.

BTW, is Directv the only other outlet for these Comcast NCAA football games in 4k?

Besides Comcast / Xfinity customers.

I'm not seeing anyone else list it.

Saw this on the comcast xfinity site.

Here's there next several NCAA Football Games,
as well as ESPN and Fox that will appear on their system.

But DTV will get the games too.

Gotta give them credit for showing many of the games in both SDR and HDR on two channels.
So all 4k viewers with them can get the game.

NBC's own 4k produced are in bold.
