I've only been using iptv for a few days so am a complete noob. The holy grail for a match, for me, is smoothness (50 or 60fps).
I'd rather have 720p/50 than 1080p/25 any day.
Having said all that, all the Sky streams I've tried have been 25fps yet look juddery even for 25. They seem to be 25 but with the odd random frame dropped for good measure, very uncomfortable to watch. For last night's game all the SS PL and SS Main Event streams I had were pants. Yet NBCSC was 720p/60 heaven and buttery smooth.
Could it be my box making the 25fps even worse than it should be? I'm not using serviceapp or anything. Supplier does not use XE.
Are Fire Sticks etc. better at playing IPTV? (My box is a 4k ARM "Gigablue UHD UE4K". Similar to an H7C in terms of speed/spec.)
