Hello!
I have had IPTV for years now but I have always been curious about a few things, please forgive my ignorance:
1) In the same server, how come some UHD channels (BT, Sky) work flawlessly, while some lower bitrate channels freeze. Shouldn't the same server that can push out 12 000 kb/s not struggle with 3000kb/s ? This happens especially with beIN sports and some international channels (Canada, France, US)
2) Some channels indicate 4k, or even FHD (even in codec details), but it's blurry as sh*t and of course I can't even see the players jersey number on a pitch. Is this common ? I have in my experience never had a flawless actual 4k stream of beIN during peak hours.
3) Regarding point 2, I also feel like those channels dynamically lower the resolution during peak hours, is that a thing ? This never happens with Sky and BT
Thank you!
P.S : I use Firestick 4k with Tivimate, I am not in a country that has ISP throttles or blocks, and I am not super far from the UK
