8PSK Conversion Update...

[navychop]

HEVC will about double MPEG-4.

Quantum codecs will infinitely increase the efficiency of bandwidth use, but will cost infinitely more.

When is the Hopper w/HEVC coming out? I'd go for that.

 

[navychop]

On the eleventy third of Jupiter.

I'd guess 2017, MAYBE 2016. But that will be one S L O W rollout, I'm sure.

I'm also sure for the first year it will only be available to current Hopper customers.

I heard it was a February 31, 2016 release date.

So if it doubles it , and mpeg4 is 8 hd channels ,then HEVC will do 16 hd channels on a transponder, without pq issues. IS this so they can add 4k channels ,even though there aren't any that I know of yet?

I know of two 4K Channels that are ready to launch. (unfortunately I can't say who they are... but one of them claims to the the Sports Leader)

I know of one more that is gearing up and could be ready to go by years end.

Almost starting off the way HD did about 15 years ago.

Scott - I know no one will say or knows for sure, but from what you have picked up in your conversations - with this space that Dish is making by converting to 8PSK, will the focus be on 4K as opposed to more HD?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am sure some of it will be used for 4K. But I am sure they have plans for more HD as well.

 

[bluegras]

please add some more HD channels we all would apprreciate it very much

Ha! I'll bet they'll reserve the best deals for VIP to Hopper/HEVC upgrades.

I don't see a smiley. Do you actually know something?

Man alive that sounds familiar. Did I hear that somewhere before?

[thomasjk]

I would set a reminder in your calendar....

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I hear we are getting all the missing HD channels on 2/31/16. (Just don't tell Bluegrass)

February 31 huh? Now that would be a real trick.

If I recall, it was on a Tuesday this year, so it'll be on Thursday next year, you got to remember, it's a leap year.
