What about TV signals in 4K via DVB-S? Are either the AX802 or AX902 capable of displaying them?
I assume it's not just Samsung Tvs that can receive it but any 4k TV with a satellite input and HEVC decoder built in?Exactly. I don't know about you, but I am not only restricted to one satellite position.
There are more satellites than the british one, for example Astra 19,2 with the Astra UHD demo channel which will have a live broadcast of tomorrow's Linking Park concert, see Experience the World’s First UHD Live Concert : Linkin Park
Samsung 4K TV owners will be able to watch it.
Yeah I've got an astra feed, did a full scan and it found 800 odd channels, one was called UHDTV I think but when I tune to it it said 'service not available' and I thought the demo channel was called something more obvious than just UHDTV, perhaps the X9005B can't use its HEVC decoder with the sat input...yeah 24hrs you have a dish pointed at 19.2east? SKY are @ 28.2 so if your using that it wont work

. I'm getting a external HD tuner for the German stations on Monday. Hoping if I connect it through hdmi4 that it will be processed by the hevc so I can obtain a picture as well. But I won't hold my breath!!!!
No that will never work, your sat box demodulates the dvb-s2 stream and decodes its and sends to tv, for hevc your box will not support decoding so you will get no picture this data gets sent to tv, the tv does not decode anything through hdmi except audio if you bitsream. The only way to make use of the hevc decoder in tv is via the onboard tuner or usb or lan port on tv for media playback or a smart tv app.
Thanks for your reply. However, I tried doing that through the built in freesat tuner but it still wouldn't produce a 4K picture - only audio. The hevc chip must work as I have no problem getting Netflix 4K.
Is there some setting on the TV that needs to be changed in order to view SES ultra hd test channel?
No setting, for some reason it doesn't work at the moment, it will on an AX902. You can download the content here: Demo UHD-3D
