DirecTV Begins 'Full Slate' of Sports, Music, Events Live Broadcasts in 4K HDR
A simulcast of the NHL Network’s Thursday night matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Vegas Golden Knights was to be the first of a “full slate” of DirecTV sports, music and events to be beamed live in 4K with high dynamic range, said DirecTV Thursday. DirecTV also will broadcast 13 NBA games this season in 4K HDR, and the Rose Bowl parade Jan. 1. The broadcasts will be available to DirecTV top-tier subscribers with the proper equipment, though the Penguins-Golden Knights 4K HDR simulcast will be blacked out in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas markets, it said.
