Does 4k 60fps exist in Iptv servers?

I understood that higher the resolution, more storage it occupies on servers. Therefore, they would be requiring additional servers to cope up with storage. Adding servers is expensive and with low return on subscriptions, it is not economical.. A 4k 60fps movie would look at average 40gb to 80gb storage . That is why Netflix plans are based on resolution types.
I am aware 4k is a huge marketing gimmick. Even UHD or 1080p is advertised as 4k.

Also with live TV, is 4k possible? I am not aware of any broadcast being available in 4k.
Any further info on this matter would be appreciated.

So your provider has no 4k channels available ?? If that's case then you need to maybe explore other providers get trials etc. There are now plenty of 4k live TV channels available globally om IPTV...most are 50fps however there are some 4k US offerings that do 60fps.

My hardware reports them as 2160p HDR @ 50fps 60fps but the bitrate is only between 3mb-10mb which is the important bit pun intended.
Sky use 7-14mb for their UHD streaming channels.
4k channels are not common.
High quality remux 4k movies bitrate can be well over 100mb.
The lower the bitrate the lower the quality.
You will not see this quality on any official streaming services for movies.
You would need your own locally stored remux’s or stream them using a debrid service

I assumed the OP was asking about IPTV 4k channels and usually they are for sports ...4k hdr channel with 3-10mb ? If ur seeing that then that's defo poor especially anything below 5-6 u get more ok some 1080 streams lol ..must be some sort of compression from provider....those same direct streams I use have up to 20mb bit rate ..

They are not to bad for what I pay at $30pa and I have had better but they are double that cost or more. The image is slightly better but it’s the audio that I noticed more.
You are getting a higher bitrate than what Sky streaming offers so that is good.

There is a few 4k channels on iptv not many.

Skysports main
Skysports f1
Some skysports events
BT ultimate
Hk sports
Astro sports
ESPN

And a couple of others. I think sky and others recomend 20 Meg download speeds. Which as someone else mentioned not the best quality 4k streaming.

Personally I prefer 50fps fhd

@dbkalyan the previous post sort of implies not to trust anyone that offers you a service then.

I have been mislead many a times so trust in providers is only on recommendation basis only. Have done numerous trials and wasted enough time. Looking for a good server for my new home theatre and that is the reason for this post. Looking for veterans views and seeking directions.

I see. You've been a member for three years and not made a request in the iptv thread?
Maybe you're relying on the unscrupulous providers that offer subs outside of the iptv request thread?

As mentioned make a request and trial what is offered to you.
Then you make the decision but remember in general these types of services are never going to be perfect and you will have to except the cons and well as the pros.
Good luck
