hoper 3 - where is 4K ?

[Don_23805]

"similar threads" seem to go back 5-10 years. Just got Dish service this week and noticed that the crisp video of my Fire Stick service was absent on Dish. I'm on the America's Top 120 plan. The channel lineup lists almost everything as SD and HD. When I google Dish 4k, it says that my Hopper 3 is 4K capable. Where is the 4K content? Going back to 1K HD from 4K is awful. TIA

The only satellite 4K I know about are sports. There's a thread around here that lists what's on.

The rest is streaming.

if you joined Dish looking for 4K programming, you made a mistake
the lack of this is why I haven't upgraded my HWS to Hopper 3
I was going to move up to the Hopper + system, but apparently that has major flaws at this time

You need to watch events on channel 540-01 and 540-02. Dish is broadcasting the baseball World Series in 4K HDR. Plus I get to watch my Ohio State football both last week and this week in 4K HDR. So I am pleased with Dish’s 4K. I have also watched 4K movies on Netflix and Amazon Prime on my Dish Hopper3.
The only problem I have encountered is that the Epix 4K on Demand content will only play in 1080i. I have not been able to get any of the 4K Epix content to play in 4K. The other 4K content all work fine.

99.9% of your programming will be in 1080i. Not even 1080p like your firestick.

There is so little 4K content right now, I hardly ever check the 540 channels. I’m glad this thread mentioned the WS being shown!

VOD channels booadcast 4k movies for a price each.
