For those who don't have Ultra HD, One of the members on satellites.co.uk recorded this on his VU+ Ultimo, uploaded it to his PC and converted it to standard HD 1920x1080. It was recorded from the 4K UHD test demo being broadcast on Astra 1 @ 19.2e. Even on standard HD TV it looks stunning.
Thanks to the Caretaker for doing this.

I remember recording the stream for the Euro1080HD channels on 23.5e on my SD Dreambox DM7020Se back in 2005. I then had to play it back through the WEB IF into VLC on my PC. It was the first HD picture i had seen and thought it was amazing.
Found this on youtube. It would have been on about the same time i was experimenting with my DM.

Hello Guys
I had my new TV for about 10 days now and let me tell you these 4k TV'S are amazing.
First thing I did was to calibrate the screen to be to my room conditions, there is a lot of information on the web about settings for different models, CNET has lots of information.
The up scaling is very very good, is not 4K but is awesome, 1080i and 1080P very hard to tell the difference, 720p is also very good, depending on the satellite That I am using some of the channels looks close to 1080p and 480p looks like 720p.
It is also a Smart TV, there is quit a few apps you can use for movies.
The speakers are ok, so I added a sound bar to it and it sounds very good now.
Save you money and buy one of them I have the 65" T.V is a good size, but there is bigger sizes.
Regards.

Thank you Chewie for your input of the up scaling of the 4k. I was and still am considering if it is worth the hassle of replacing my current 72 inch Mitsubishi DLP. Only because it's lacking enough hdmi inputs and it doesn't recognize the PAL inputs. But other than that, I love the picture quality in HD and SD. I've seen the 4k Samsungs, Sharps, Panasonics, etc., live on the floor demos. But to me they don't seem to have the clarity and sharpness of a DLP. Sure they're much brighter and colorful, but they seem to be lacking the natural, warm, color clarity that I am use to watching.
Years ago, I used to receive Bell and made recordings of OasisHD prior to any compression was the law of the land. I recorded some scenes from Tobermory, Ontario - Baie-Comeau, La Malbaie, Quebec - Tofino, Whistler, Nelson, BC and other beautiful Canadian locations - The depth, clarity and perception of the water and depth scenes, wave ripples, rock pebbles, the cliffs, rock formations and striations, sharpness of the bird's flapping wing feathers, the bees flying or stationary plus many other animals, the snow scenes, colors, etc., etc., still does not seem to come close to a 4k tv. I use these recordings as references to adjust my big screens and compare to what is out there.
I am a firm believer that a trained ISF calibrator will do wonders for your big screen tv no matter what one may use for a reference. But I do love to watch those many years old recordings from OasisHD.

Hello Guys
Robb, I seen some 4k videos on youtube and they look awesome, amazon charges for their movies in 4k, there is a couple of movies in 4k I can look at with my amazon prime membership .
The T.V looks outstanding on 1080p as it is I might look into the ISF calibrator ands see what is the cost of it.
Regards.
