DIRECTV to Air First NASCAR Race In 4K

Coverage was OK. What they did was go to a high shot of the track when the network was in commercial, and likewise whenever a pit reporter was on the HD feed. It was OK.

BTW, the author of the article cited about probably should learn to F1 rights in the US are NBC, not Fox.

I watched the entire race.
It looked good, not great.
Certainly not knock your socks off.

Yeah, I hope the baseball game and the Masters is better. I don't think that fast action and LCD technology lend itself well to 4K.

The baseball games are grand.

The Masters coverage is not a 4K version of the CBS coverage. It is coverage of only holes 11, 12 and 13 (on channel 105) and of 15 & 16 (on channel 106), with different announcers. It is stunning, but you cannot follow the entire tournament. Probably will be a few more years until we get a 4K feed of CBS. Until then it is just a nice side show.
