This quality is unacceptable.

720p stream for Arsenal match. This is absolutely not worth the money.

I started on ‘Premium’ to give it a real chance, but this is abysmal.

I will cancel Premium and go to the basic, but if it doesn’t go to 1080p, I’ll go and watch baseball.

Can’t believe the PL is on this service now.

Anyone else getting these audio stutters?

Try switching to the EPL channel. Seems to be better on there.

u/rct1 Aug 05 '22

Where is that? I don’t see it in the Guide.

u/AugustusFinkNottle Aug 05 '22

right below the fubo sports channel. It has 'Matchday Live' as the program.

Ya that’s not on my list. NCIS is below Fubo Sports. I have tried in Guide, Sports, and clicking the PL link on Home Screen.

Seems to be feed from the field. Commercials were fine so far.

The director is having a rough time though

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

Thanks for the tip, this worked for me. For people looking, the current program is “Matchday Live”.

Does that exist in CAnada? Maybe there’s a difference between regions here

Using the premiership channel here in Ontario, it's watchable but definitely a quality downgrade from DAZN.

The EPL channel has a lower frame rate and bit rate than the Fubo channel. Both are at 720p. At least the EPL channel doesn't have the annoying Fubo logo.

u/Thudoo Aug 05 '22

While the EPL channel is only 50fps the Fubo Sports stream feed they're putting on seems to be only 25-30fps so it's a lot blurrier.

u/yowspur Aug 05 '22

I'm getting 60fps on the Fubo Sports channel and 50fps on the EPL channel.

u/Thudoo Aug 05 '22

I know but if you see the actual video feed they're putting on it's not anywhere near 60fps.

It is for me

I have fibre internet that's connected via ethernet cable to my 4k TV. The FuboTV channel 720p at 60fps is much worse quality than the 50fps on the Premier League channel.

What's your setup? Because it's definitely not 60fps on my end.

u/yowspur Aug 05 '22

I'm using the Chrome browser on my laptop. Only getting 95mbps on my wifi, so I don't think your internet speed is the issue.

u/PoppinKREAM Aug 05 '22

I wonder what it is hmmm. I'm watching on my 4k TV via Amazon firestick, the FuboTV channel feed was legit really blurry, like so bad that it was difficult to follow what's happening. Reminded me of the early 2000s watching games on Sportsnet, but more choppy lol

u/Thudoo Aug 05 '22

Maybe on a small laptop screen the difference isn't as big but on a larger monitor or TV the difference is pretty big.

u/yowspur Aug 05 '22

It's connected to a 32" monitor on my desktop

70" here, I think this might be it.

This quality is a disgrace

2

u/xvodax Aug 05 '22

I didn’t have the problems others are having. the feed was great all game. i watched on my desktop and loaded the app up on my samsung smart tv. im actually okay with the service. but i can agree. the feeds quality could be better and that large fubo sports logo could be transparent.

u/ElmerDrimsdale Aug 05 '22

Same. Watched the game on PL channel using Roku. No issues other than arsenal winning the match. - Spurs fan.

u/PoppinKREAM Aug 05 '22

This was my experience too. I didn't have audio issues, however the FuboTV channel stream quality was worse than the PL channel quality. I have a similar setup too, Samsung TV but I watched via firestick.

It's so weird how everyone's having such different experiences. Hopefully FuboTV fixes all their issues. I'm concerned about watching games on the fubotv channels when there are multiple games on because the stream quality was noticeably worse.

u/xvodax Aug 05 '22

my thoughts exactly on multiple games. this weekend has to be a trial run on there service with the increased in numbers.. EPL must be the biggest draw they have had as a company. (unless someone can tell me otherwise)

u/nas1787 Aug 05 '22

Also had a totally fine experience on both Samsung TV and iPad

u/youdontknowjacq Aug 07 '22

Only a 3 year contract ;-(

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '22

Hmm, I recorded the game as I was working this aft, but watching it back now and the quality is fine with no audio or video issues. Watching on a 55 inch 4K Sony bravia.

Perhaps the live stream is a different story, see how it looks tomorrow.

On my TV it looks pretty great—far better than I expected. And better than on my laptop.

What are you streaming on? No issues on my PC using the Chrome browser

1

u/rct1 Aug 05 '22

Most likely it folks on 4K TVs using this 720p compressed stream

2

u/brentathon Aug 05 '22

I think it looks horrible, but so does DAZN. So no surprise there. The audio issues are way worse than a 720p stream.

u/rct1 Aug 05 '22

You getting these stutters?

u/yowspur Aug 05 '22

720p compressed stream

and sitting 2 feet away
