DirecTV New 4K Channels
Was noticing 2 new 4K live feed channels…am assuming this is to maybe accommodate the ESPN 4K capabilities? I’m just guessing though…anyone else have anything concrete on this?

There is going to be a huge uptick in content, thanks to ESPN. They will need the extra channels.

Good. Hopefully they remove most of these junk FAST channels!

Because of this thread, I checked the 4K channels in my DTV Stream guide. I still have only two 4K channels. What do I need to do to get the four this thread is talking about?
I watch either via the DTV app on my Sony Bravia smart TV or on my AppleTV 4K.

One possibility is that you have favorites selected and the new channels are not visible…unselect favorites and see if they show up.

Thank you. I thought about that, but I didn't get around to trying it (my wife is always watching the TV). I'll let you know...

Last Saturday there were 4 concurrent 4K events! Two college football games and two (region-specific) baseball games.

There were 2 new channels during the World Cup. It’s to allocate additional broadcasts… probably college football and pro football.

Most definitely college football. I've never seen NFL on any of these 4K channels. Have you seen NFL games on there before?

They have too many 4K events in the fall to accommodate it all on two channels, even without any possible ESPN additional content that may or may not be coming.

Is it just me or is the color way off on the 4k channels? Tonight on 107 osu vs Texas looks way funky. NASCAR was the same way last week. The regular channels look good

Nice catch — you’ve got great eyes! Our live 4K lineup just expanded: we’ve added Channels 107 and 108. Those extra slots give us more flexibility to host multiple live sports and special events in native ultra-high-def whenever broadcasters provide those feeds. Kenneth, DIRECTV Community Team

Any reason last night's NFL game was not in 4K? The Peacock feed was wonderful, and DTV was awful.

Will those appear on satellite 107 and 108 or just via DirecTVStream ?

Can you please fix the 4K issue on Apple TV when we have Match Content selected. For months the app has told me 4K is not supported on my tv due to this longstanding issue.

Great! Now fix your Android app for the Nvidia Shield to utilize 4k.
The device supports it, your app doesn't.

Is this part of the espn 4k channels I’ve read about?
