You don't have to.
I was just stating those who have over 100meg connection speeds will not get those with the amazon adapter compared to using such a device on WiFi.

I am not sure but I think firesticks run at 60hz and you can't change it in settings it isn't normally a problem.
Check to see if the same happens on a USA channel if it plays fine Tivimate will fix it
Settings/playback/AFR/make sure switch screen resolution is applied

It runs at auto bud and changes between the 50/60 hz when it needs too

I was told to clear the cache on the firestick regularly and delete any apps you don't use, not sure if doing it helps but I too have the same issue with my 4k firestick mainly on Sky Sports, I also asked my isp if there were any local broadband issues with my signal and they checked my settings and changed a few saying i was getting interference. I don't know what they changed remotely but the issue seems to have gone away since then.
Good luck

Yep, streaming in HDR. The colours seem a bit deeper than usual so took a bit of getting used to but it's very good quality.

Yeah mate 100% the colours pop more. Think it's 50fps too ball isn't choppy at all. Hopefully they get more EPL Rights!

Come on now you got prime video now as well 🤣 🤣 🤣
But seriously remember when prime got the EPL rights few years ago they had alot of teethering problems with quality etc. Good to see all resolved.

Sky’s 4k coverage isn’t hdr but is better. Theirs is sharper and manages to maintain the quality in fast moving images.

A few people was saying Amazon was streaming in uhd but tbh didn’t watch football lastnight.

I watched the Leicester game in 4k on Amazon prime! The picture was superb, my Samsung TV struggles with the hdr broadcasts too dark for daytime but brilliant natural look in nighttime! I think the hdr works better on films than sport
