Fox Sports App In 4K: Which Devices Are Compatible?
The Westminster Dog Show, which began in 1877, pits the nation’s best pure breeds in competition in categories such as agility, poise and obedience.
FuboTV has said it will offer the Fox Sports 4K HDR feeds, but it’s unclear if other pay TV providers such as DIRECTV, Comcast and YouTube TV will as well.
FS1, the Fox Sports app and the Fox Now app will also provide high-def coverage of the show on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights as well as morning activities each day. You can see a schedule here.

The Westminster Dog Show, which is normally held at Madison Square Garden in New York, is being held again outdoors at the historic Lyndhurst estate in Tarrytown, New York to ensure maximum safety due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Note: Fox produces its 4K coverage in 1080p HDR and ‘upscales’ it to a 4K HDR broadcast as opposed to shooting the event in 4K and transmitting in the same format. Upscaling is the process when one video format is converted to another. In this case, Fox takes the 1080p HDR signal and convert it to a 4K format.
Fox is also scheduled to offer the 2022 MLB All-Star Game in 4K on July 19 at 8 p.m. ET.
