“THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” GAMES OFFERED IN 4K ON FOX

So the FS1 game would be in 4k as well ?

It looks like FS1 has all of the ALCS games

Well after reading the posts about yesterdays NFL game it's quite a mixed bag.
Some say the picture was great and some say it was terrible.
Sound good for some bad for others. Pixelation, black screens dropouts.

Wonder if they will get it together next Thursday.

The person who posted about the Fox Sports APP and the great picture.
I'm guessing that it was just HD.
They never offer 4k via their APP. Is that correct?
And the APP currently does not do HDR? Correct?

Is this APP different from the Fox Sports Go APP that you have with Apple TV or Fire TV streaming boxes.

In reading the various posts sure sounds like Fox Sports and the NFL are acting as cheap and the can get.
This should have been done right from the get go with real 4k HDR cameras and master control all the way
thru to our TV sets. In 2019 it's not hard to produce a good live sporting event. Hell I'd be happy if they just buy a bunch
of 4k Iphones and have them at various angles. At $1,000 bucks a phone compared to $10,000 - $100,000 for each camera on the pro side.
They could have 20 - 30 different Iphones set up all over the f'ing stadium and feed them to master control via live streaming.
Just switch back and forth.

And it would all look better than 1080P Upconverted.

They are just being CHEAP.

On a side note I believe in the England every single Premiere League soccer match is now recorded in Real 4k 50P (over there it's 50P I think).
And possibly the same is true for German and Italian leagues for pro Euro soccer.
Certainly the Europe Champions League is now all 4k.

The BBC did a test the past year with 4K HDR for a big soccer match.
But they've spent the money to record in Real 4k AND LET Viewers see all these matches in 4k.

Why the F is the US so backward with these billion / trillion dollar networks and leagues.

I do not want to keep waiting for 5 or 10 more years to get everything in REAL 4k.

And I would actually like 8K HDR here NOW.
Apparently you need to live in Japan for this reality.

Our country should be leading the world in technology and it seems like we're just getting more and more behind.

Fox Sports App on Apple TV was in 4K not HD. Its different than the mobile app.

Can you give a bit more info on the Fox Sports APP on Apple TV.

Is this the same as the Fox Sports Go APP?
That I've used and you use your tv provider as a login to then view content.

Is this a different APP that requires you to pay Fox and sign up with them.
Different content?

Would this Fox App work with FuboTV so you could use their DVR to record the 4k games.

Appreciate the followup.

Thanks, bjf

That sad that there are no games on NATIONAL Networks if thats the case.

But surely Samsung's Note or S9/S10 could send out 4k HDR.

I don't think any phones have HDMI outputs anymore, they have USB. USB isn't anywhere near fast enough to handle HDMI 2.0, which is required to output 4Kp60.

They did that last week as well. And according to another poster here who seems to be in a position to know, they are also upconverting all the FS1 college games as well.

this just reminds of how little 4k presence there is on cable/satellite. how long has it been since 4k was introduced? doesn't seem to be taking off

It is taking off just fine, just not on Traditional Providers, but in their defense it is hard to carry programing if Broadcasters do not offer it

The past, present and future of 4K is online with Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, itunes and soon Disney+ and even some programming on Hulu is in 4K ( must have a Apple TV ).

Cable and say can’t deliver something that’s not there. They need the content providers to offer 4K channels that they can distribute. DIRECTV has a bunch of bandwidth available to carry 4K channels when they become available. BTW I don’t count those channels out there that nobody has heard of.

I dont see how that's embarrassing it worked fine on the traditional tv providers

It explains why in the article.

 

[osu1991]

Fox couldn't worry about getting a 4k HDR signal out that everyone could use. They were busy making commercials and having their studio crews complain about the Dish dispute.

Our local Cable Company has 0 ZERO 4k channels and from the sounds of it, they don't plan to have any.
