why doesn't dish run programs on a loop on 4k the two 4k channels. Make s few demo programs and run them when they do not have anything new to run. Would like to see what it looks like. Do they not have the capacity to do that?
speaking of 4k programming ... how many live sports are available via DISH?
i think they have an agreement with FOX Sports.. so i assume the NLCS is available via dish.. do they publish a schedule like D* and Optimum?
only asking cause i do a monthly schedule on AVS forum and would love some input form a DISH user ..
Like mentioned before, Dish's schedule for their 4K channels doesn't go out that far. They only have things listed for about 3 days in advanced, anything after that is just listed as "off air" until they populate the schedule.
The furthest thing out on the schedule as of now is Illinois @ Wisconsin on Saturday on channel 540-01 4K
To stay up to date, enter channel "540" on the "jump to channel number" box and keep on clicking ahead to see the schedule for channels 540-01 4K and 540-02 4KHDR on mydish.com/guide.

Last week there were a couple of baseball playoff games on the 4K channel. They looked quite good in 4K. Would be nice to see a couple of World Series games in 4K. But, I'm guessing Direct has them locked up. Too bad.
Then I should be set up. The Hopper 3 will go to my Sony 4K TV and the regular Joey will go to my non-4K TV in the bedroom. I already have the HDMI cables from Monoprice.
So what exactly is a good cable to use for 4K without breaking the bank? I've heard from some that it doesn't really matter and then my Dish tech was trying to sell me one for like $50, saying it would improve my picture tremendously.
You need a cable that supports latest HDMI version 2.ob features. Supports 4K/60 Hz (18 Gbps bandwidth), bi-directional Ethernet communication with compatible components, ARC (Audio Return Channel) for sending Dolby Digital sound from the TV back to a AVR, 30-gauge conductors for dependable signal transfer. Crutchfield and Monoprice have a good selection with good prices.
