Live 4K Broadcast on DIRECTV this month!

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am wondering if its not finding it since 9800 does not display on the HR54.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

This is to show I got it working... but the HR54 does not know channel 9800 exists so I can not tune to it. I don't believe the C61K has its own IP address that I can pull this from.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still no luck...

Trying 192.168.1.55:8080/tv/tune?major=9801&minor=65535&clientAddr=macaddress and giving a 400 error, even though the documents say that is correct.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Now color bars up. Is this being uplinked by MTV?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok back to seeing the guys I saw before teeing off.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I am able to control the CK61 now with CREF commands, however I can not poll the box...

http://192.168.1.55:8080/serial/processCommand?cmd=FA83&clientAddr=MACADDRESS

Gets me...

{"status": {
"code": 403,
"commandResult": 1,
"msg": "Forbidden.Invalid URL parameter(s) found.",
"query": "/serial/processCommand?cmd=FA83&clientAddr=MACADDRESS"
}}

So close!

Now 4K color bars up. (This is the first time seeing this test pattern!)

Ok, thanks for all the effort and the other updates so far. Seems the SHEF commands are just not going to work on these channels in their present test status.

Was mainly interested to see what kind of code for the compression format may be used to see if standard MPEG-4 (H.264 AVC) is being used or if HEVC (H.265) encoders are actually being used to encode live UHD TV on the fly.

Nah ... think this is what's being referred to.

http://www.mobiletvgroup.com

Though there is no mention yet of a "39Flex" UHD mobile production truck on that site.

Only up to "38Flex" so far. So 39Flex must be very new.

Right now they are showing soccer, with a really poor picture.

Its been frozen for a few moments.

I am hearing that 9800 is just a regular 4K stream, and that 9801 is using Bonded Transponders, which is cool.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Boxing is back on both channels now...

And my wife wants to watch TV so I am going to turn off the test channels for now.

Truck 38 looks nice.

Overall I was quite pleased with the 4K Golf this week. I'm ready for some more 4K on DirecTV.

I will order the 54 once 4K channels go live.
No sooner.

No... not MTV as in Viacaom MTV... MTVG as in Mobile Television Group. These are the same guys who do uplinks for Big Ten and many other clients.

Does the grass still blur when the ball rolls across it with 4k ?

You may be waiting a long time.
