Will the Super Bowl be in 4K this year?
So why then, on the following page: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/uhd-4k-faqs
does Comcast state the this????
**********************************************
NFL Football:
We'll be airing the following game in 4K UHD from FOX.
NCAA College Basketball Live Games:
We'll be airing select College Basketball games in 4K HDR / 4K SDR from Fox Sports 1 (FS1).

Yes 4K UHD via Comcast xfinity.
While you can't record this 4K UHD stream like you can the Fox Broadcast channel(s) in your guide. You can watch in 4K UHD.
Press the xfinity button, select Sports, and then NFL. It will be listed in the Upcomming list along with the Fox Broadcast channels (English / Spanish).
Just return to this listing on Sunday night anytime between 1 - 6 PM EST! ( you can also set a reminder). Just say 4K using your voice remote as a shortcut.
Note: This is the same way that Comcast has shown select College Football Games, Soccer, and College Basketball as described here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/uhd-4k-faqs

Will the 4k feed be in High Dynamic Range, or in SDR?

the first link in the post just above yours says HDR
The post above only mentions UHD, not HDR. Do you know if HDR will be available?
The latest wording on the page only states "UHD", not HDR. Can someone confirm if it will definitely be in an HDR format?
I spoke to a Comcast rep, and they confirmed the game will be in UHD/HDR. Thanks James!

Thank you for posting your questions here in the Xfinity Forum. 4K UHD and 4K UHD/HDR viewing is currently available to Xfinity X1 customers.
**Note**: 4K UHD/HDR content for live events is available if you have an XG1v4 or Xi6 TV Box set to 2160 resolution with a compatible 4K UHD/HDR TV and a 4K-capable HDMI cord. Please see more about using the X1 guide to adjust your video display to 2160p.
For additional information about 4K on Xfinity X1 please see here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/uhd-4k-faqs
Will 4k superbowl be available with a 4k tv, 4k tivo box, with a comcast cable card?
I am an Xfinity cable subscriber with a new 4k X1 box to which I just upgraded in January. I have the X1 configured to "Device Settings>Video Display>Video Output Resolution: 16:9, 2160p60 4k UHD (Best Available)" and theX1 is connected to our 4k LG OLED TV. Your webpage, https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/uhd-4k-faqs, notes, "We'll be airing Super Bowl LIV in 4K UHD from FOX." My question is, to which FOX" channel on my Xfinity X1 box should I tune to see the Super Bowl in 4k UHD, e.g. the local Fox broadcast affiliate here in Seattle (Q13 - channel 113 on my X1 box), or one of the FOX Sports Channels (FS1HD - channel 620 on my X1 box), or some 4k-specific channel? Thanks in advance.

None of your choices! The 4K signal is only being carried (IPV). That is Streaming video over broadband Internet. Read the earlier directions in this forum subject to watch the game in 4K.

Quick point of clarification: this is not being delivered over the Internet, rather it is a live On Demand Stream that is being carried over our cable infrastructure.
To watch the game, you can use your X1 Voice Remote to say "4K" or search "4K" from the main Xfinity Menu - you'll reach a landing page where you can easily click to start watching... enjoy!
Thank you!
Anybody actually get it to work in 4k? I said 4k to the voice remote but it doesn't show the Super Bowl as available. I've been able to view other 4k events in the past using this method.
Yes. I got the stream in 4K. The preshow has been in 4K since 1pm. The only thing I’m noticing it is not in HDR. It’s listed listed under sports, nfl, under xfinity
I'm NOT an xfinity TV subscriber but was sent a promotion email saying xfinity would offer a live streaming promotion. However, I can't access the superowl on xfinity streaming now that I'm trying to. Any ideas on how to get the promotion working?
Shows as HDR10 here. Looks pretty good. Is your setup good? Ever gotten HDR from your X1? Might be cables, settings, etc.

@R_Aster First time running 4K on Comcast. All my other devices run 4K and hdr. Tv Is set on auto and didn’t detect hdr. If I switch over manually it looks pretty bad. Is there a setting in the cable box for hdr that I missed?

Well, too late now but your X1 device resolution setting should be "highest possible" or whatver it's called resulting in 2160P / 60 FPS. The HDMI input on your TV probably has to be set manually to Deep Color or Full HD Color or some such. You might need 18 Gbps HDMI cables for it to work.
Good luck. Maybe we'll get OT and you can watch that in HDR.
I wonder if this set any kind of record for the number of live 4k views. I didn't see any problems with the show.
@R_Aster It did double check settings and it did say highest quality. 4KUHD HDR. Wasn’t going to bother troubleshooting during the game though, great game! It was looking better over HD at least. I’ll try skipping my receiver to play around on the next 4K stream. All my other devices play zero issues though. So we will see.
thanks for the replies.
