Does anyone know, If I use the Spark Sport App on my Fire TV (Android TV sideloaded app) if it will play in 60 or 30 FPS

@baxnz I think you need to try with your motion settings turned OFF. You may have more than one setting to change. I am not an LG owner so I can't help with this, but in my Sony there are two places. You may need to adjust them a bit and compare.

 

It's unlikely at this point Spark will be changing anything. Having watched a fair bit of Rugby across the various platforms, so far my preference is Sky, Kayo and Spark in that order for Picture and Motion combined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for advice

 

yes did try this also with no difference

 

 

 

I think its just the way it has been broadcast

 

Do you know if the JP vs SA game was broadcast in 30fps or 60fps?

 

 

 

 

 

Its not how its broadcast. If its 60fps its 60fps. On my Panny plasma, the motion smoothing is on. If I turn it off the ball judder improves, but the smoothness of running players decreased slightly. Motion ON the ball CAN judder but the players are smooth. Now that its 60 fps, any ball judder has become minimal. This is on my TV, any others will differ. Ive noticed ball judder is not consistent. What is behind the ball can cause judder, its clearly TV software dependent. Overall for me, its now a non issue.

* on Kodi with Matt H's Spark Sport add-on, the stream info shows 50FPS 

TVNZ RWC coverage is on TV1 not Duke

My local chartered club installed Spark Sport for the RWC over this weekend. I have just looked at the match times and most of them are after the club has closed. Now I see that we could have just used the Sky pop-up channel. The mind boggles at the lack of communication and transparency over this.

Skys involvement has been posted here and in the media, it wasnt a secret.

I could be wrong but I recall pubs and clubs being allowed to open later for past special Kiwi events?

Transparency yes. Communication, I am not sure, - I being not a Sky customer nor a Sky commercial customer knew nothing about it until informed by GZer.

By the way how do they know if you are commercial or not - or does it not matter ie they will sell the pop up to everyone?

I decided against getting the streaming package on the basis most games would be on after I'm asleep, but I got very close to buying it before I thought to check.

They could have used the Sky pop up channel, but I think the price for the pop-up is about $1000.

How much did Spark Sport cost? $80 plus some hardware to play it on (AppleTV, $249)? Then some way of hooking it into your clubs AV system - hopefully it has HDMI inputs, so pretty easy.

They know if you are commercial, because you will be paying them commercial rates. A lot more than home user rates. They won't sell the pop-up to home users.

I suppose there could be a few businesses (I know of one) that use and distribute a Sky channel but are being billed as a domestic user. They do not get business support, and are not eligible for the pop-up.
