4K Events Discussion Thread

[Howard Simmons]

I need a time machine to go back a week and schedule the IU v. Purdue game to record. I didn’t expect Dish would have a Purdue BB game highlighted as a 4K event…

That's the very thing Dish's research department is doing right now. That and getting the Dish Anywhere App to work correctly.

I'd give better odds to them getting the time machine to work first.

Where all the 4k stuff?
Are we going to @ least get the Superbowl?

Nobody is going to get the Super Bowl in 4K this year. CBS is not going to present it that way. It looks like the next 4K events we might see is the Big East basketball should it actually take place.

Looks like they're blaming the pandemic, although CBS has never offered an NFL game in 4K before.....

Super Bowl 2021 won’t stream in 4K or HDR this year — because of COVID

 

[david_jr]

At least they have an excuse, as lame as it is

CBS will blame covid as the reason they not broadcasting in 4K, but im sure they will praise covid due to possible record breaking ratings since folks have to stay at home and "avoid" large gatherings


Also bars and restaurants are either closed or reduced capacity.

Is Dish 4K 540 dead?

540 is not dead, there is just not any 4K content on Fox or Foxsports which is the only 4K contract DISH has for channel 540.

FS1/Fox will be broadcasting the men's Big East hoops tournament in 4K, from 3/10-3/13. Hopefully, it will be on 540-01.

If the tournament takes place, I'm sure it will be on 540-01. It was last year. I should say it was scheduled last year. There was just a half of the first game when the tournament was cancelled do to Covid....

I'm not getting a picture only sound on 540-1

I just looked and I have a picture and sound. Are you still having issues?

Yes, the hopper 3 eventually freezes and has to be reset.

Let me ask how you have your Hopper hooked up to the TV. Is it HDMI direct from the Hopper to the TV or do you go from the Hopper to an AVR and then to the TV. Either way, I would first unplug all HDMI connections from the Hopper and TV and then replug them in to see if that fixes your issues. If not, I would suggest that you use a different HDMI cable, preferably a certified premium cable like this one:

Amazon product ASIN B074FFM8NH

NASCAR Cup Series, Sunday 5-9, 12:30 PM PDT, Channel 540-01.

I tuned in at 12:30 EDT and all ll I saw on Dish 540-01 was the Finish Line. I think it was live because every once in awhile something would blow across the checkerboard pattern.

I tried to find the race on other channels but came up empty.

Of, course, now that I’ve quoted Bobby’s post, I can see that it’s the PDT timezone, which since I realized it before the race, I was able to use the DishAnywhere App to record the race in 4K.

I'm getting the famous Code 890 HDCP TV Not Supported after I start playback channel 540-01 recording for a few minutes. Reset the HDMI cable but no luck. That hasn't happen to me before. Any clues?

It's one of those things. I suppose Dish will fix it sometime. In the meantime, as long as you are watching live, when you get the code press the channel down button one time and about 5 seconds later the picture will come back and be OK for the rest of the program.
