Yep, same here. Odd occasion focus gone blurred for a second or two, but sky does that on occasions too. No issue otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzo gambaro Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Watched the Palace-Bournemouth game on the telly. Had the focus issue for a minute or two around the time the other game was kicking off but otherwise no problems. Thought the sending off was harsh but don’t think that was Amazon’s fault really.

gonzo Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Little lad loved it, got city match on his fire stick in his bedroom. Little lad hated it when he had to switch it off ten mins in as it was past his bedtime. 8:15 is a ridiculous kick off time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave2980 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It may have changed since the introduction of sky Q but the sky HD signal was always 1080i. This isn't much better than a 720p feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bitrate over satellite is more constrained. Its why Sky shows look better when you download them from the sky box rather than watch/record the live versions - same box - same program - just higher bitrate on a download. The Q box should look the same as the HD ones BUT generally people ask it to deinterlace by setting the output to 2160p - which in my experience can sometimes improve things over the TV doing it - which is the norm for the HD boxes as usually they are set to 1080i.

Amazon tend to output 4K at 25Mb/s but I would say for live broadcast they might set a higher ceiling for safety. So check you get 40-50 at least. Honestly it looked the best I've ever seen football look. Better than the BBC's world cup streams in 4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously can only speak from my set up. I am a bit of a perfectionist with pic quality it sends missus daft and is wasted on her tbh.

If your TV can get it try the iplayer 4K stuff - the seven worlds one planet series - its unbelievable. They use super high bitrate and HLG HDR (for TV's that support it) and it looks stunning.

Had BT out and signal is losing something as my living room is on 2nd floor. Had sky broadband before with no issues. I take your word for it and BBC 4k was brill as you say. Wont judge amazon football will persevere. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Yeah I suspect if you're dipping below those speeds that is an issue for a live broadcast stream - the demands on bandwidth are higher than a simple stream from amazon/BBC/netflix since they have to have a delay to avoid buffering and that requires a consistent speed since packet adjustments are on the fly.
