    Considering getting rid of my sky satellite box and replacing with a NowTV.

    Have some concerns over streaming delivery of live boxing events over the t'internet.
    So if you watched any of the big previous big BoxOffice events (e.g. AJ v Parker), how did you find it ? Was the delivery flawless or problematic ?

    Cheers

    Can't really answer this properly but I'll stick my two cents in because it may help a bit...

    Streaming from official platforms like SkyGo, Netflix and Amazon is a lot smoother and less problematic than streaming things via Kodi, for example.

    The reason being is that ISP 'throttles' a lot of network traffic from unrecognised sources and oppositely from legit sources such as the aforementioned they have HUGE amounts of bandwith. Never once have I had an issue streaming a movie on Netflix, the same cannot be said for illegitimate streams.

    I'm sure Skybox office stream is spot on.

    I use a Now Tv box for the Sky boxing. Have had 0 issues to date with it.

    I've got the NowTV app and Sky box office app on my IPad, pay for a day pass when a fight comes up and I'm away. No problems to date. But that's all I use it for to be fair.
