My TV switches to FHD 1080P during Commercials and UHD 2160P during the game on TVE FS1.
My one time recording I set up yesterday for today’s game on FS1 tve did not catch the 4k feed. Started a new one and it’s in 4K. I just made a new custom pass for FS1 and put a 5min delay to start recording. Hopefully that will curb not getting the 4k feed. It hasn’t needed the padding for awhile but I guess the need is back

I guess FiOS is the only cable provider serving 4K then.
Yeah XFINITY doesn't broadcast anything in 4K.... we get H264 720P on all Channels here.
Yep, I tried a quick recording of the game at 6:13PM (started at 5PM) for 1.5 minutes and it got HEVC 1080p.
I’m getting it in 4k with EPlusTV
That's not TVE or cable.

It actually pulls from your TVE credentials of ESPN and Fox. Regardless I was replying to the original poster who was asking if there's 4k here which there is.
That's a lot more hoops than i am willing to jump through at the present time, that thread is hundreds and hundreds long it seems.
Was hoping for a more "hey here it is" solution
I am trying to not go down the path of "and if you are 'lucky'"....
I do (and did last night) have that box checked for the $K on TVE, i did not see it in my guide, i did a re-scan and it did not pop-in either. Hence my confusion on this,

There is no label in the guide that says 4k. After you tune in go to options see stats and it will tell you native resolution. I notice immediately with HDR kicking in. Also the commercials are not in 4K so you need to check while the game is actually playing.

I'll check this early evening and follow your steps - looks like the bit rate is ~ 11.14 mb/sec; is that normal, is that high or low for good 4k video?
what does "scaled resolution" mean for you?
I would say that 11 is on the small side. 11 was what it was in the brief moment of the screenshot. I think it’s normally in the 20’s. Recordings are very large.
Scaled resolution is what my iPhone was displaying the video at. My phone was in portrait so that you can read the stats. Making the video very small. If I was to rotate my phone to landscape the scaled resolution would increase. On your tv both native and scaled will be 3840 x 2160 if you are using Apple TV. If you use android streamer the scaled will show 1920x1080 and native 3840x2160 this is because android displays the overlay at 1080 but the video plays at native.

playing around, i would love to see if a 2-2.5 hour game (after editing commercials) would fit on a 50 GB disc, what it would look like...etc
Videoredo does H.265/HEVC editing, i'd have to find a program beyond MultiAVCHD for the menu and burning...etc
Here’s yesterdays game started late, it’s 2.5 hours you can do the bit math. Looking back it looks like that’s the bitrate for the baseball games. Maybe it was football that had 20s or I’m mistaken about 20.
holy smokes, batman! I can confirm that is true. I found this thread and checked my recording and found it was 3840 by 2160. I'm on Comcast in PA.
Here are some of the details.

I am currently recording Football in 720p or 1080i HD (CBS/NBC are 1080i, and Fox/FS1/BTN are 720p).
OTA stations run about 7 GB after commercials edited out, and cable stations like FS1 or BTN are a bit smaller than that ... like 4-5 GB.
while it looks like your codec is H265/HEVC, the data appears to show a 1080p recording not a 2160p recording (4K) - am i missing something?
if it were a simple quadruple of the file size from HD to 4K I would be well within a 50GB disc, but since i am new, a lot of unknowns here...
It's also too bad that 4k video is limited to stereo audio on TVE
That 1080 stat is wrong. It might be because the recording started on a commercial
I don’t think you will have a problem with 50gb, the 4k baseball playoffs are averaging about 5GB per hour.
Agreed
