No that means I have someone sending me TSreader info.

I wish had a TSreader setup again.

Well, the MLB All-Star Game looks pretty good, but every once in awhile I have to channel down / channel up to clear the #*+{|=&( Error 890 HDCP pop-up.

Hopefully, there will be a software update to fix that pop-up before the Olympics starts.

I recorded the All-Star game last night in 4k. Started the recording and about 10 seconds in, I had the HDCP error. Went out and back in a couple times with no luck. I ended up unplugging he HDMI cable from the Hopper and plugging it back in. No errors after that.

That's hilarious!!

The channel up/down workaround didn't work for me last night.....I shouldn't have to reset HDMI cables to fix an error Dish has created.

We are overdue for some kind of software update, since it has been almost two months since the last one. Whether the new version actually fixes anything is purely wishful thinking of course. Still, I would assume that Dish is working on something, and preparation for the Olympics coverage would seem to be the most logical priority at this point.

Considering the Olympics starts in 9 days, that's clearly a very optimistic timeline. Especially when there's been no comment from Dish Support, who has read this thread....

I am guessing the game was only on the Western Arc, as I tuned to 540 last night and was told the channel was unavailable.

I didn't get an 'unavailable' message, just the HDCP error that I could not bypass. Worked fine in HDR through the FS app on my FireStick though....

I'm on Eastern here in Florida and I watched it.

For the few minutes I could watch the game the picture was bad. The OTA on Fox looked much better.

You're not the first one to call me an optimist.

When has Dish Support ever commented on things like this in recent memory?

Some Olympic events did load in the D* guide

Hopefully dish will publish soon

What about Golf The Open (15july - 18july) . Will Dish have that in 4K as well ? Or just Olympics

540-05 is OL4K2 with the guide data showing as GOLF Channel 4K coverage.

If these are going to be turned on, today would be the day to do it, or by the 18th at the very latest. Otherwise, it would seem that the Golf Channel 4K coverage is for Dish's internal testing only, with the channels only becoming available to customers for the Olympics, if even that is actually going to happen.

Not known yet. There are now 5 4K channels, 540-1 through 5. 4 and 5 are shown as Olympics but the other 3 could easily have events. 2, 4, and 5 are HDR channels.

I now see that Tennis is scheduled for Friday 7-23 and Saturday 7-24, and Sunday 7-25, 7PM PDT on 540-04.

The LIVE Opening Ceremony and NBC Primetime Shows will be available via localized UHD simulcasts in the following markets and distribution platforms: [DISH not listed]
....
In addition, a re-air of each evening’s NBC Prime Time show will available nationally in UHD the following day at 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific on Altice, AT&T/DirecTV, Comcast, Cox, Verizon Fios and YouTube TV.

Golf Channel and Olympic Channel UHD Coverage will be available nationally on AT&T/DirecTV, Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, DISH, fuboTV, Verizon Fios, and YouTube TV.

Based on the NBC Olympics 4K webpage, it looks like DISH will only get tennis, wrestling, and golf in 4K HDR and not the NBC primetime broadcasts
NBC's 4K HDR Coverage of the Tokyo Olympics (hopefully this is subject to change but the opening ceremonies are not listed in the Guide)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Is anyone seeing the 4K channels in their guide yet? If yes are you on the Eastern or Western Arc?
