According to what I’ve read on another forum, although it will be full HD, it will be 25 fps. That’s not good enough for watching fast moving live sport imho. If you subscribe to Sky Sports via NOW without adding Boost you only get 25 fps. With Boost you get 50 fps.
@g1zmondo I've raised this question before. @DarrenDev suggested this was technically challenging. I think the preference is to get more channels delivered via IP. These kind of issues are usually contractual challenges.
The ITVX app has replaced ITV Hub on some devices today - not clear when BT TV/Youview devices will be updated.
@zulu17 apparently its so that when on launch day it will be ready. The britbox side of the system won't be live until the 8th.
I suspect bt will have it in time. We have 2 weeks to get it on boxes until the 8th.
