If you have Peacock, check out it’s video quality, it is 1080P, so more resolution then 1080i, but without the nasty up converting artifacts.

I watched a bit of the soccer on 540-04 this morning. I wasn't all that impressed with the video picture. It had little pop. Then they went to rugby at 8AM PDT and the video is outstanding.
The guide for 540-04 is not showing much in advance. I checked earlier today and just the rugby match was listed. Now the US soccer match is listed, but nothing later.
I added an NBC schedule in the non discussion thread. I just checked the 549-04 guide and it is now populated at least through tomorrow.
Do this: Press Home three times, go down to Tools, go over and press Guide Update.
I was gone for a couple of hours and it was all good when I got back.
I finally had time to watch the Ohio State Marshall football game on 540-01. It was an excellent picture 3840x2160 4K HDR.
I compared the picture to the Fox 28 broadcast at 1080i and the 540-01 picture had much better resolution.
I realize that Bruce says that the actual video is only unconverted from 1080p but there is a definite improvement in the 4K picture versus the Dish 28-0 1080i picture on my Sony XBR-65X900E TV.

I have really enjoyed watching the World Series and the OSU Nebraska games on Dish 540-01. The picture (3840 x 2160 4K HDR) has been excellent.

Since the World Series is on Fox network TV, the 540-01 channel isn’t available for me on my Hopper 3 as we don’t subscribe to the Locals. So I tried adding them to our Flex Pack and both the MyDish app as well as the Dish website came back with “Oops, there was a problem” messages, and no Locals added.
At this point, I guess I’ll just have to enjoy the OTA signal at an eighth of the resolution…

Well, the WS might well be over tonight so it will be a moot point!
Exactly! I should have mentioned that, too…Well, the WS might well be over tonight so it will be a moot point!
Good thing I was working in the yard and avoided the carnage in glorious 4K HDR…
*sigh* maybe some year…
