Hotstar player interface is good but not the streaming quality. People watched it because they don't have the another OTT option for the same sports events.Well i believe the huge viewership they got for live cricket be it IPL or BCCI matches is bcoz people liked the overall streaming experience....i am not denying that there would be some issues and this happens across platforms.
Did u watch FIFA World Cup 2022 on Jio Cinema.....all i can say is that i did read some very negative reviews about the streaming experience be it on this forum or even on Twitter. More so i have even seen people not liking live sports streaming quality on Sony Liv. Disney+Hotstar still by far has provided a good streaming experience as compared to others barring few issues.
They could have provided certain events in 4K on Disney+Hotstar and i think they had....it also depends whether such events r available in 4K from source end or r sizeable number of people willing to pay for premium subscription to access else unnecessarily creating load on server and investing more is of no use. 4K broadcast and streaming has huge challenges involved, worldover despite there being lot many people there as compared to India who can pay more to access 4K content still broadcasters / platforms restrict 4K transmission for very key events bcoz of huge cost + infrastructure challenges involved in the same
Yes, i watched FIFA event and first few days it is really pathetic but improved later on.And womens IPL streaming was good except few quality issues here and there. It is like asking new born to walk when the 5yrs older is not even crawling
At least JioCinema is putting effort to improve the quality but it is quite opposite with hotstar. If Jio was into sports streaming, we could be watching same patheting streaming for another 5 years.
