But I am having this issue on every channel. Yet the 4k on demand downloads look great. Also all my old recording transfered from my Hopper 2 look terrible as well.

I have tried 5 cables and all ports on the TV it is not that or the 4K on demand shows would also look terrible and they look fine. Cables would not cause this issue.
When is the DISH tech coming out? It would be great to hear back after that visit.
No I didn't try component cables and if that happened to fix it then its time to switch providers lol
I just don't know what the issue is. My Hopper 2 with Sling picture looked fine. I have changed nothing in my setup other than bypassing my receiver because of the 4K Hopper 3 and the picture looks like it is stuck in 480i mode even though it is set to 4K, 1080p, 1080i on the Hopper 3.
I'm not sure that an LNB or switch could cause that issue. Those components usually have nothing to do with PQ. Your situation is very strange.
I haven't read this thread that close. But anyway, have you tried another HDMI cable? I am sure you probably have. I would try out component cables just for giggles. You just never know.
To me it is acting like it is stuck in 480i or maybe something with the HD codecs the Hopper uses. The 4K picture quality seems fine though I have only tried the one free show offered on Dish. The Netflix app on the Hopper 3 is only HD when I tried it so I can even try 4K from Netflix. Nextflix and Amazon apps on my TV have very good 4K picture quality so I am very sure it is not the TV or the cables. Tried 2 Hopper 3 boxes and both have the same issue so I am running out of options.
I wonder if it is some kind of communication problem between the Hopper 3 and TV. What TV do you have again?
LG. Did you look at this thread?

I did read that post as well and I am having the same HDR is on issue but I dont think it effects my picture quality at all. I originally though it might be part of the problem.
