What do I need for 4K?

[Hideftv]

The latest is the first transmission will be with the Northern Trust Open Feb 16-18th. It will not require the Reverse Band lnb to receive it. There is currently 4K programming on ch. 1102. With just the HR54, I currently can't see that channel.

Thanks for the update. The area I live in is always the last to get new equipment and since they refuse to upgrade and ship me one, I am probably looking at 2017 to experience anything in 4K. Shame since I have a 4K TV and they are probably giving new customers without a 4K TV the HR54 in some areas. When I upgraded to the HR34, the HR44 had been out nationally for a while but the tech had not seen any and checked and was told it would be months before they would have them.

1102 is the 4k VOD channel and the HR54's see that along with the other VOD content.

I guess I misread this or assumed a 4K channel would be up and running in January.

I know that... Scott posted that it was in January a while back on the link Hideftv posted. I was razzing a bit about it with a bit of sarcasm in fun.
