    “Channel 1496 (Fios TV 4k 3)”: is ok since ESPN does not have a full time 4K channel yet.

      • Spoke with Spectrum today as I just picked up a 4K DVR from them… no 4K content! Nothing in the pipeline too. So at least 1 year in my thinking. Maybe time for me to switch.

        • What’s unique about Spectrum is they provide a 4K feed of LA Dodgers and LA Lakers home games on DirecTV but the provider themselves don’t offer 4K
