Best service for 1080p major sports channels (not fake 1080)

by rayuki

So I'm getting sick and tired of signing up for various services that claim to offer 1080p channels, mainly things like sky sports and on major events (like today's fight haye v bellow) that then turn out to just be 720p streams. The channel might say FHD or 1080p but like with this example screenshot http://imgur.com/6YleeFf (which is necro btw) the source stream is only 720p. This seems massively misleading to me. If your channel says 1080 it should be 1080. Otherwise I'm flicking thru channels and watching the same damn source.

Epicstreams has a decent selection of proper 1080 streams but not as many as I'd like. Can anyone recommend a service that offers them for real? Like i said i mainly just want the major sports channels, events shown in 1080p. Any help would be appreciated

They don't exist. Fuck. Stop asking for shit that doesn't fucking exist.

If you want reliable Hi-Def picture, get a legit sub and leave this subreddit. Christ. You people complaining that you can't get 1080 or 4k streams are just as bad as the idiots who were complaining about Oscar screeners not being released early.

I've got Express, and they claim their channels are 4k, and I know they aren't. Do I care? No, because I know that 4k isn't readily available to stream at a bitrate that a pirate outfit could do.

If I come across as an asshole, it's because this question keeps being asked every freaking month, hell almost weekly. It's seems the people who pirate these days have no fucking clue how things work at all. They just expect to be able to get what they demand, with no regard to how the processes in the background work. And if you have to compromise, OMG the sky is falling. You're paying 15 bucks a month, maybe 20, for 300+ usable channels. You're already getting an awesome deal.

TLDR if you want real hi-def get a legit sub.

Sadly, you are looking for the Yeti or Bigfoot. It is talked about quite a bit but it does not exist.

Even cable providers will do 720p or 1080i... there is simply not enough bandwidth to do all HD in 1080p or higher.

Stick with Epicstream and /u/fr0-z3n

I agree a lot advertise FHD and don't even have a single 1080p channel. I currently have 1 month fabIPTV and 1 month IPRocket Pioneer don't know if I'll be keeping either after it finishes.

I've also found they have a massive delay 50-80 seconds from the actual live events. When I had SmoothStreams it was 5-15 seconds.

We do offer 1080p Channels as you were able to see but the sources we use are most of the time rather unstable and that is exactly the moment you see a 720p channel with a wrong channel name.

It basically works like this: Xtream Backend connects to the 1080p RTMP Stream -> Detected as unstable -> Uses a backup Stream which is 720p -> Customers get angry.

I am very sorry for the experience you had.

I mean in terms of streaming 90% work well It's just the HD sport channels I can never get a good stream I was using smart iptv on a smart to then switched to fire stick then I tested on a nvidia shield still same thing :(

I'm not going to bullshit you and tell you that all of our channels are in 1080p, because it's not true. But we have high quality channels and also VoD. The quality is amazing and the delay/lag is non-existent. PM me if you want a trial to see for yourself.

What's your kodi skin @rayuzaki ? Looks slick!

It's worth noting that smoothstreams has some of the highest bitrates i've seen and often show major events (ufc, superbowl, haye bellew) in true 1080p 60fps. Just don't expect these to be 24/7 channels, it's the best I've used for sporting events.
