Must be true - it was on Twitter.

does this mean sbs was broadcasting the last Australian world cup game live in 4k? or is that just a delayed loop?
Oh and someone should upload the 4k loops to youtube lol
Oh how I’d love to see that 9HD 4K watermark be a full time thing!
I tried, but it gave me a copyright strike.

94K 
Apologies as I’ve not been keeping up with this thread and if this has been covered already. But being in Melbourne I’ve not seen these transmissions (and my set probably isn’t compatible, anyway)
But how are these test transmissions operating? Is it one channel presenting content from various networks, or is each network having their own 4K channel. Is the 4K channel(s) a real time simulcast or is it pre-recorded programming?
I believe the DVB-T2 trials are only happening in Sydney and on one multiplex: VHF-10 from Gore Hill and UHF-29 from the Kings Cross & Manly/Mosman sites.
Content wise, unfortunately I don’t have access to a DVB-T2 tuner but judging by what I’ve seen here, it appears that Free TV & Broadcast Australia are running the trials with additional content provided by Nine, the ABC & SBS.

I get the impression its demo loop footage - the 4k content appears to be recent.
Currently experiencing signal issues with Nine - no Logies for me (will have to watch online). I live about 4km from Melbourne CBD.

All the footage is on the same channel. It’s just a pre-recorded demonstration loop.

It’s still irrelevant to terrestrial broadcast - it’s a completely different and unrelated transmission medium. All you are doing is conflating matters
It’s also a different aspect ratio (1.9:1 as opposed to 16:9)
DCI frame rate is 24 fps
