PPV Picture Quality

KieranR97 — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 14:01:51 GMT

I'm considering buying the PPV for the Anthony Joshua fight on Saturday the 23rd however I'm wondering if it would be streamed to sky stream in 4K?

I pay for UHD so just wondering if it's worth paying for it if it won't be played in 4K.

Thanks.

I believe that's a DAZN promotion, so won't be on Glass/Stream at all.

It will be on TNT and as I subscribe to TNT I believe buying it through the Stream device it will show the TNT PPV channel.

It's more so a question of the actual streaming quallity that it will show.

As per @TimmyBGood it looks like its on DAZN in the UK, for which there is no app on Sky Glass/Stream,

Its right there on the DAZN UK home page.

@MarkGoldsmith @KieranR97

But also (and unusually) on TNT in the UK and Ireland, possibly because there's no DAZN on Glass/Stream

I can't see any reference to UHD availability, though.

Ah yes indeed when voice searching it on my stream is lists it as TNT Box Office in HD not UHD.

im guessing DAZn realised having to have a monthly sub to then also purchase PPvs doesn't really interest folks in the UK so they are partnering with TNT to provide it as pure PPV event as well

It's on Dazn and TNT as Frank Warren works with TNT and Eddie Hearn works with Dazn . It's actually a joint promotion
