Black Friday was very kind to me this year. I was able to find a Samsung HU8550 65' for under 1500 on sale as a door buster at the local Conn's. Paid cash outright and I was finally able to set it up today after having it delivered.
4K activation was a breeze and no truck roll was required.... Here is why!
I already had an HR44 and a DECA setup. The only thing I was missing was the TV.
This TV replaced a VIZIO 65' I bought 6 months ago to hold me over until the prices of 4k sets dropped.
That Vizio ended up going up to my master bed room replacing the 32 inch I had up there.
I called the 1800 DirecTV number and basically explained to the rep that I had everything and needed to activate the RVU MAC address on the TV as well as activate the VOD 4K service on my account. Once we got that going a few min later, I was downloading 4k vod and was able to watch the demo and the 4K intro.
Now I am just waiting for movies to spool. So I am all setup until D14 launches and 4k service launches next year.
NOTE: You may require a truck roll if you dont have all the requirements, but if you do it may be possible to activate over the phone if you meet the requirements and your TV passes the MOCA test when doing the RVU activation! I will keep you posted on how everything looks, but if the demo's are an inclining its some of the best picture quality I have seen on Directv yet.
Netflix UHD looked good too. Now I am waiting on Amazon Prime to launch UHD services.
