4K Events Discussion Thread

I wonder if there is a way to stream ESPN and the NC in 4K next Monday using dish login.

So far it doesn’t appear that that game will be streamed on any device.

If LSU/Clemson was on Fox you would probably get it. I’d like it too but something is better than nothing.

I don't know what Dish is saying about CFP Championship game on Monday but DIRECTV's guide for the two live 4K channels is showing the followingL:

And not both "field pass " and "sky cam"

That still beats zero feeds.

I tested UHD 4K HDR Amazon Prime content using the Hopper3, Roku Ultra, and the Amazon Prime app on my Sony XBR-65X900E and saw no differences in the picture.

I just recently subscribed to Amazon Prime so I don’t have much history with it. But I’ve been underwhelmed with it on my H3. The picture is clear, but really dark on the HDR programs I’ve watched. I don’t have an Apple TV4K or Roku 4K yet to compare it to. But it looks much better using the app on my Samsung UN65JS8500.

Any chance Dish has the Super Bowl in 4K? I’m about to pull the trigger on a Apple TV 4K or Roku Ultra. So I’m sure I can stream the game in 4K. But would that mean I wouldn’t see the commercials? I could care less personally but that’s the only reason my wife will watch it.

Dish had TNF in 4k , I dont see why not

I know Xfinity did NOT have TNF games therefore they will not have "big game "

is the super bowl going to be on dish this year folks it is on fox?

 

[Bobby]

When there is an answer you’ll see it in the non-discussion thread. There is no answer at this point. What is known is that DirecTV will have it on channel 106. We also know that it will be available on the FoxSports app via your streaming device. If you have a 4K Roku or Firestick 4K it will also be available with HDR.

So the non-discussion thread is also listing events that are not being carried now?
Rephrasing that statement, if there is a positive answer (meaning yes, it is being carried in 4K) then you will see it in the non-discussion thread, otherwise you will not see it there.

Does anyone know if they show the commercials when streaming on the Roku?

Even if it is determined that the game will not be carried in 4K on DISH I will report there where and how you will be able to air it in 4K. I’m really getting tired of your snipes...

According to this article Dish is carrying the Super Bowl in 4K. This is the first time the Super Bowl is streaming in 4K resolution, but it won't be true 4K

While the article says DISH will carry it DISH itself has not yet announced that they will. Until that announcement is made it is pure speculation.

Upconverted 1080p? No loss if Dish passes on it.

All of the Thursday Night Football games were the same. They looked pretty decent but not nearly as good as the last game that streamed in 4K HDR. That looked very, very good.

It probably comes down to which is better at upconverting....Fox or your TV.
