Why would NASA put their channel up on a satellite that doesn't broadcast in the US? Is there that much interest in NASA outside the US?

The United States doesn't have an exclusive on being interested in what is "out there".
Really not happy of having to sacrifice my extra tuners from my SJ for 4k Dish... but then again, will Dish carry actual 4k free/included content or will it all be PPV 4k content? Or will they have actual 4k channels and charge extra for 4k? Also will it be 4k 'light' the same way it's HD 'light'? I guess we won't know until it's out or until testers are allowed to comment/review it.
That is not necessarily the definitive or exhaustive list of 4K out there, either.
That's what I said in the other thread. I think we'll see it roll out around the week of December 7-11. Just my guess anyway.Well I guess that means we will get the Carbon UI before January 14th since it needs the Carbon UI to function.
I'm just ready to see all the complaints of people that had no idea a new UI was coming out and are confused why their tv looks different.
Have you seen an concerted effort on DISH's part to make their subscribers aware that a new GUI is imminent?
Where ? No one here will be surprised.... I'm sure a few, new people will stumble in here and post and never return. Dish's Facebook page will likely be pretty interesting though !
Facebook and their main support forum is where I anticipate the most fun responses.
Why would you need to sacrifice the SJ?
DISH doesn't make channels. They carry other network's channels. As such, only a few exist and they aren't really conventional channels.
We know that DISH can't show channels that don't exist. Upconverting 1080i channels isn't going to satisfy anyone. It will take a considerable amount of bandwidth to do UHD and probably more to do live (on-the-fly compressed) UHD.
If they starve the content the people who campaigned for 1080p instead (something almost everyone could take advantage of) are going to be insufferable.
Could be cost-related. The 4K Joey will be yet another receiver to add to the account.
i know scott has been saying that when the carbon ui comes he will let us know soneone told me on the forum that i was suppose to get a update still waiting for it i know when it comes it comes,i am still planning on buying a vizio 4k tv does anyone have any good experences with their tvs i saw one at our local walmart here in our town where i live,
do you guys think in the future who knows when it will be i noticed on lyngsat that there are four 4k channels there which we cannot pick up at the moment i wish dish would pick those up.scott has been saying that there is a handful of 4k channels i know that there will be alot more in the future. when is CES you guys i know it is sometime in january.
