So let me get this straight.

So I am watching the live Hawks-Bucks game on my browser via NBA ILP. As usual this is a 3000kbps@30fps stream, because of fecking Flash. Not bad, but I'm not paying $120/year for such medium quality (we're in fecking 2017 with 50Mbps lines, we can do much better).

So I launch Kodi and use Max's fantastic addon. Now I can watch the game at 6000kbps@30fps, essentially using the Apple TV .mp4 streams. Nevermind that the stream gives a (fake) output of 60fps, as Neulion provider use a 30fps stream as an input, so the end result is still at 30fps. It used to be 60fps last year, so we're effectively talking about a degradation to the paid service.

So I search reddit for any free NBA live streams and I find one within seconds, it's at 5000kbps (with options to adjust the quality if required) at 60 (SIXTY) fps, it plays perfectly fine and it's even broadcasted half a minute BEFORE the official NBA ILP stream.

So I am thinking, what the hell? Those who watch pirate streams get a much better service than those who are actually paying for the bloody thing. We are the suckers here.

Neulion, wtf really. I am emailing [email protected] to give them hell. The bastards.
