Just saw this in a e-mail from DISH:

I watched a bit of the Super Bowl on 146 yesterday not because I like football but I wanted to see what 4K looked like. The picture quality was better then on the Fox channel.
So I left it on 146 and then watched a DVR recording. I noticed it had a green tinge all over the recording. I thought it was just a bad recording. When the show ended, it was deleted. Now I noticed the menu screen also had the green tinge. I went to live to TV on 146 and it was OK. I then went to Fox and is was green but just for a second and then it returned to normal. I found out that if the 4K channel was my last channeled viewed, everything was greenish. If I was not on the 4K channel everything was fine. I wonder why the 4K was causing the green tinge? Has anyone experienced this?
Any ideas why this happened?
This was strange. This is the first time I've watched a 4K program. At first I thought my TV was dying.

Just as an aside, if you usually watch these 4K/HDR events via the FoxSports app, you will not find this year's Super Bowl there this year. You have to go over to the Tubi app instead. As normal you will not see HDR on an Apple TV box, just 4K. That is unless you force HDR on the box itself and in my opinion that's just not the same. It works fine on ROKU.

I haven't researched this. I have an AppleTV. What is the deal with Fix Sports and lack of HDR?

The Fox Sports app isn't flagging the HDR to the Apple TV. This is a Fox issue not an Apple TV issue. It is well known and Fox doesn't care.

It would appear that Dish has lost its 4K/HDR contract with FoxSports for college basketball. We haven't had any televised on the 4K channel in quite some time. You can, however, get those games covered by Fox using the FoxSports app with a Roku or FireTv device. You can get the 4K with no HDR on an Apple TV device.
