Catch the Big Game in 4K
This year the Big Game is being broadcast in 4K (only on CBS), so you can watch it in 4K through Xfinity! Simply say “4K” into your Xfinity Voice Remote to get started. For information about 4K programming on Xfinity, including 4K-compatible equipment, see 4K Ultra HD (UHD) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) on Xfinity TV.
Please let us know if you have any questions in getting ready for game day.

CBS just announced it will send SB LVIII to MVPDs in 1080p HDR and 4K HDR. Any news on whether/how Xfinity will make these feeds available to us? From the CBS Sports posting:
"For the first time, CBS Sports will have the Super Bowl available in 1080p High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 4K HDR. The 1080p HDR feed will be available in most platforms, while the 4K HDR feed will be supplied to various MVPDs (Multichannel Video Programming Distributor) and vMVPDs (Virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributor)."

Pseudo 4K. CBS is upconverting a 1080p signal. Less pixilated but still not real 4K. HD with HDR. Disappointing. Don’t care for either team but would have tuned in for the eye candy. Now I might watch a couple of minutes to compare with the Fox pseudo 4K and real 4K. They really shouldn’t let them call it 4K. Maybe something like HD+.

I noticed tonight that there are now 2 options that come up - 4k and enhanced 4k. Anyone know what that means? Is one HDR and the other not or something?

[Edited: "Inflammatory"] So much for Xfinity service. It wasn’t true 4K anyway. Just Fox (FAUX) style 1080 up conversion or pseudo 4K as I like to call it. Sort of HD+ not UHD.

Disappointing. Got home just in time for OT, but no 4K for me. The time for the scheduled broadcast window had already expired and there's no way to get to the 4K feed at that point. It sure would be lovely if Xfinity actually integrated 4K into its cable cast platform. It's sort of shoehorned in without a tunable channel.
