Got my IQ4 yesterday. All setup and running, the UI is so much smoother, like a huge jump from my launch IQ3.
The upscaling is also far better, the IQ4 is upscaling everything to 2160 50p. It’s also like going from a upscaler on the $99 player to the high end Oppo with Darbee range. My TV is no slouch though as it’s a 4K OLED. It also reads HDR modes supported on the TV, mine says HDR10, SDR although HLG is not supported since its a couple years old.
Foxtel 4K channel will be running 4K 50p that is all but confirmed so HDMI 2.0 is needed. If it doesn’t detect, then it will just upscale to 1080p. Not sure if it does downscale though as I get the message “not subscribed” wish they can least run a test slide but guess they testing the channel in house and thats why the not subscribed message comes up instead.
well you know Old Man could of had a brand spanking new FTTP network to play with but his stupid sons like old school copper (much easier to hack into).
As a renter I know we’ve never had issues, especially when most rentals are owned by investors. But I’ve never been in an apartment, I have in a connected unit where there wasn’t an issue.
I’d be interested to know whether Foxtel already has the infrastructure in place to support 4K broadcasts or whether this is going to require them to upgrade all their equipment — whether in their control room or their OB equipment.
The Australian reporting that a few people have complained to the Advertising Standards Bureau about the phrase “What the 4K!” in the latest Foxtel advertising campaign. It will have to be pulled if the complaints are upheld.
