Why is sky sports on the stream box such bad quality?

Like it has to be 720p at best? Can’t upgrade to UHD to see if that’s any better as they don’t do it on the stream box.

Rang multiple times and the best package they can off me with their actually TV box and the 1GIG broadband I have is £96.50 for sky sports UHD!

Anyone else find the quality so poor for Sky Sports on the streambox. Is there another way to get SkySports UHD without paying nearly £100 per month?

    Hi lochy 

    I've moved your post from the 360 forum to the Stream forum.

    There were a host of new channels added to the Stream Channel guide on 1st February.  I'm not sure if those additional channels are available to customers yet, but the Sky Sports UHD channels are also suggested as soon becoming available on Stream boxes (providing you subscribe to Sky Sports HD) for an additional £7 per month, also there would be a 70p bill credit each month for taking out the UHD channels.
