Its depends on the broadcast channel your comparing it to if you go through the channels on sky there are some that are worse quality than nbcsports extra on the apple tv Quote:
It's good, but not broadcast quality.

PLP looks better than NBC Sports imo but even then I still prefer Sky Sports SD over PLP.
A big improvement might be possible if the Apple TV 4 supports the HEVC/H.265 video standard. The frame rate could they be bumped up from 30fps to 50fps without needing to increase on the bitrate that's currently used for H.264 streams. |

It is. It's much better than sky sd
Most streams still lack behind broadcast in this matter. Netflix is the only thing I've seen that comes close but that's only prerendered stuff. Live is even harder. |

In resolution terms obviously an SD channel will always be worse than a HD stream. But when you look at the bitrate and compression used - it has a massive effect on the picture.

Have you seen nbc on Apple tv? It's better than sky sports sd in every way. If it wasn't, I'd have watched today's games on sky.

To be fair ive never found any HD stream including netflix that compares to a direct satellite or cable HD feed Quote:
Yes I have seen it on Apple TV. My point is a HD stream will always have a better resolution than an SD channel, however comparing a HD channel to a HD stream is different.

Meh Sky Sd > HD streams.
HD streams may look better when the camera is not moving but once it moves and pans it's just not as smooth. As I said before if the streams went to 50fps that would change everything. |

I agree on all streams with the exception of premier league pass on iOS and NBC on Apple TV. They are as smooth as broadcast TV.
Other than quick trial, worked DNS only, do most of you use VPN Cheers |

Interesting email came in from Bein Sports today about their service being upgraded on 18 May to better streaming quality, full HD with better reliability and security. When the migration is complete, we've to log on and update our account details to ensure we remain connected.
Hmmmmm...... iPad app is still not updated and running as well as it ever did. With a few stop starts and random jumping back in the broadcast. Anyone know anything about the new iPhone version and compatibility. Cheers. |

I received the same email. My iPhone app has now updated to version 3. And will not open, with either smart DNS or a vpn in place.

Not jail broken unfortunately. It was however set to update automatically. Until there is a work around I'll keep the previous version on the iPad as long as possible.
