Tech6:
I was not aware that Comcast was supplying "Blu-Ray" (1080p) programs over their new 4K box yet. Not linear cable or high-speed broadband on the Internet.
So where are you getting Blu-ray from?

I am talking about Blu-Ray. Since mid 2000's the only way to watch a 1080p signal was to use a Blu-Ray Player. I do not think the recent poster as actually viewing any 1080p programming through the new cable-box yet.
The new cable-box covers 4K and 1080p. Comcast has yet to send either version of programing on the new box. If Comcast get's the new box working they could supply either 4K or Blu-Ray programs to people without a special 4K broadband player, or those without a Blu-ray player and purchased Blu-ray movies, etc.
Any of us with a UHD smart television can get both Blu-Ray (1080p) and 4K HDR programing from You Tube and other providers.
Since I have DSL optical broadband, I have no need for Comcast any more if they do not get their act together for 4K (or 1080p).

Robert:
What I am trying to point out is that watching at movie, or other program, that was produced in widescreen 1080p and sold on a Blu-Ray Disc is far better quality than watching the same program: OTA, Cable, or Satellite. The program needed to be transmitted 1080 interlace (2 frames) to view on your 1080p television. Anyone with a Blu-Ray player knows the Blu-Ray copy was better then when watched on the same tv by normal means. And watching the same movie in dvd quality (480p) has no comparison to the Blu-Ray copy.
720p is nothing more than 480p (4:3 screen) with extra pixels added to fill (16:9 screen). The sharpness of the picture is the same. Blu-Ray 1080P has more the double the pixels and produces a better picture.
By the same token; converting any lower quality signal on a UHD (4K) television to 4K is nowhere near as good as the real 4K signal viewed over broadband from You Tube, etc.

I bet you accidently mixed up the description. the 480/720/1080 is the count of the 'raw' number of vertical lines that make up the image. the old 4:3 interlaced was 525 lines (at 262 1/2 lines per offset field). the 4:16 HD 480 is 480 lines making up each individual 'image' (think of it like the 35 mm film as a still picture flashed on the screen, then the next image is flashed). no doubt the rest of your description is accurate too.

Drummerman,
There should be a 2160p setting in display options. As discussed here, the TV will upscale because thats what the panel requires. I have not seen any difference between 1080p and 2160p from the v4.
Not prior to but you can at install, if they're available in your market.

Just self installed XG14 . the only install issue was paring the remote. After 45 min with tech support, they said the remote needed to be replaced, could not get it to pair. so another is arriving in a few days. In the mean time wife reads the remote instructions for pairing, size 2 font, page the side of a quarter of a post card. Says use micro phone, ask remote settings. Ha, then remote paring, select it and the codes appear on the TV screen, after a few code inputs, BINGO, remote pairs. Now, all good, sound bar is working, TV picture is excellent. Better th anthe previous top-box, TV Samsung, 2012 7500. Only issue remaing, never a problem for year past; audio, video syncing issue. Have not upgraded HDMI cables to 4k since Comcast installed in 2015. Are cables the issue? Audio has always been HDMI.
Cheers,
DR
the sync can either be the sound bar (usually if bluetooth connected) or the TV's settings. run a test by using the tv remote to turn up TV sound. is it in sync on a local TV channel (broadcast)? If it is in sync the TV will offer a sync adjustment to time the audio from your receiver/sound bar.

I just did the same thing. You have any issues with some of your recordings disappearing? It's strange because around 50% are there. Thought everything was cloud based?
___________
The cloud is not a mirror copy of what was on your dvr. It's the last 60 hours of recordings.
