Interesting I’ve always been put off with Premier Sports as they have no TV apps

Also the app does not show GAA, but the TV broadcast does.

1080p and 50fps at all?

@Popeye13 unfortunately it doesn't state that it's 1080p and 50fps but I have seen on another community board that 1080p 50fps was being trialled back in 2020 so I would assume that's been implemented by now.

This link to the Asian service says it's 1080p 50fps but there isn't a corresponding page on the UK site.

I had a look a while back at their Player service and it was abysmal. They were converting a 50Hz signal to 30p, it looked shambolic, especially for a subscription service. They do the same to Freesports, whereas Amazon take quality seriously, so hopefully Premier on Prime is alot better

Considering outside of Sky, to get ITV in full 1080p you have to subscribe to the ITV hub via Amazon. Whereas on the standard ITV hub app, if you have ITV+ you will get 720p at best. 

 

So I would like to venture a guess that you'll be getting 1080p and 50fps.
