Ethan_Hunt Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well, one thing's for sure, Hotstar has come a long way from it's initial 720p minuscule library offering. It has a pretty decent collection now I'd say. At 999/- for a full year, it's definitely good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICK3Rboy Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Hotstar's got incorrect aspect ratios on many of their premium movies though. Here's an example. Notice how a big portion of the frame gets cut on either side on Hotstar. It bothers me quite a bit and makes almost the entire premium catalogue of movies pretty much worthless to me.

growl_kid Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 In India we have Netflix, Prime and Hotstar. Any other notable streaming services available? And how to get invitation in Flixfy? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_Hunt Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Guys, do any of your mobile devices stream Prime in HD? How do you know if it's switched to full HD? From what I understand, Netflix and Amazon Prime video both require devices which support Widevine L1 DRM. Unfortunately, my ancient Oneplus One fails in this test as it's L3 Widevine. However, my brother has an A8+ which supports L1 certification, yet his device can't stream Amazon Prime videos in Full HD. Netflix works in Full HD on his phone. Can anyone of you with higher end mobile phone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Does hotstar show ads in live sports events? The only thing I miss since cutting cords is live F1 and football stuff and I don't wanna miss out on world cup action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the Qualify for Spain GP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Great, 720p is fine as long as its ad free and live. 300rs per year is peanuts compared to sport packages on cable network. Its amazing how much they rip you off by charging stupid prices per month and then show exuberant amount of ads on top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know it's switched to HD? Does it show the HD logo lit up with 1080p like the PS4 and PC UI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lot of comments on the live page about people not able to watch f1 even though sports pack mentions F1 is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find hotstar very poor in its live streaming during weekend big Ipl matches have seen issues in there streaming not just matches anything on hotstar starts buffering they should plan to implement 1080p streaming on Android TV as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhpian Bali Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Bosch season 4 has been out for a month but not yet available on prime. Why so? Even when it is a prime original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
