jerky sky sports HD stream, anyone else, small but regular

[Anonymous User]

Hi, Anyone else having issues with sky sports recently?

A second of jerky motion about every 30 seconds, not end of the world, but quite irritating and not smooth like it used to be.

Have a Firestick, sports and boost subscription, 100mb fibre, and its about a foot away from the router. I have just checked and my download speed is around 99/100mb so no issues there. 

The stream bits show 7989 when clicking ok during streaming. I wouldn't call the picture total HD either, despite it showing a 1080p bitrate.

This happening to anyone else? cheers

Your not the first one to complain about the “stream” on the sports channels.

Take a look at this thread.

Hi, thanks for reply.

That issue is about the camo blotch effect, which I also get 🙄

The main issue is like a stutter every 30 secs, very frequent during the T20 world cup.

Hi @Anonymous User 

Have a read of my thread that i started in this link below.

You could try disabling the Auto frame match and force 4K or 1080p 50hz on the Fire Stick Settings and smooth it out even further with motion processing on your television, but for me it doesn't mitigate it fully and i still see micro judder / stuttering.

For NOW Sports i use my Roku Stick Plus or NOW 4K box instead both set with Auto Frame Rate set to on.
