Picture definition of Wales game is perfect. Far crisper than I have ever seen on sky. I have only watched first 20 mins but not interested in whole game. All games have been brilliant on my set so I expected this to be same. I hope this is the case for all others for the rest of the RWC.
Sky Sport Now streams at 1080p and 60 frames per second. I assume you haven't seen that and are referring to satellite?
Stuff had two streams running in it's office which worked perfectly so that's good news.

No, Sky Sport Now (which replaced Fan Pass) is good. From what I've read recently, and through my own experience, it's much better than the Spark platform.

Will be interesting to see if Spark perseveres with Sport at all. After reading this article, I'm guessing "no".

The problem Spark have is, if half of the issues , or more, was with the customers set up who would know, the customer would be blaming Spark.
Personally have had no issues with WRC and F1 of late, in the early days there were a few minor issues, only to be expected.
One thing they did 'fix' with F1 was when Sky Sports UK went to a break the screen just went blank initially, so you thought something had gone wrong, now a banner goes up and/or you get the static Sky Sport F1 logo
But with only 100K+ subscribers hardly a big money spinner and with the issues, not going to encourage many more.
indeed, I've been appalled at the amount of criticism thrown at Spark. Sure I cant know what others saw but here in a town a long way from anywhere the game streamed pretty okay with just some moments of slight degradation. Not enough to get concerned about though obviously it would be better without it.
I've only streamed TV etc for well over a year ago using an Apple TV as front end, and there are the odd glitches, sometimes its the app (just close and restart usually fixes it) sometimes worse but in the internet world there are so many possibilities. I think its unfair to assume that all of those glitches were Sparks fault.
I think it was well done Spark, and they will improve and improve.
Disc - NOT a holder, but do have all my internet and phone services directly with them.
You are right Bob, OUTRAGE it is the new national pastime.
