And, finally, DIRECTV has scheduled a music event and a pay-per-view UFC match in 4K this month:
12/18 – Brian Setzer Orchestra Concert, 8:00 pm PT
12/30 – UFC 219: Cyborg vs Holm, Pay Per View Event at 9:30pm ET
DIRECTV has changed the minimum package required to get its live 4K channel to Select so more subscribers could access it as well as the satcaster’s two other 4K channels, which are devoted to recurring programming and Video on Demand.
However, the NBA games will require an Xtra package or above because the NBA TV channel is not available in the Select plan.
