There is a lots of decent IPTV box recently with some high specs and lifetime
My question is how is the quality of those "claimed" 4K movies compare to Blu ray disc

A typical uncompressed blu-ray disc size is around 60GB -80 GB for a 2hours 4k movies
If its going to be stream to those IPTV box, its definitely compress size video

My question is to what extent?
Is there a way to show how big is the size of the video streaming to your iptv box?

I am asking if its worth to moved to IPTV box from a person used to watch Bluray disc quality

pirated iptv = pirated quality.

Buy nvidia shield or nvidia shield pro got for watching 4k via netflix it's a certified box king of android box

You can use stremio or the best syncler android apps with real debrid so you can enjoy 85GB movie content via streaming

Got others ayam box you can buy but it was a waste of money to buy them

Camping... I also wonder worth to invest or not...

So far I seen 2 boxes... cant remember name. One in MIL house and another in my friend's house. Not even 1080P. I feel like torturing my TV with this kind of content.

Get branded tvbox like nvidia, appletv, mibox..
Netflix, prime video etc are streaming in 4K.
Nvidia can upscale HD to 4K too.

If you're the person who goes for quality, it's not worth it.
The pictures are rather grainy, downscaled and the audio is just rubbish at times.

If you high quality need by authentic movie to watch, IPTV with many channel are not meant for quality oriented customer.

Pirate IPTV = 720p quality. If you get used to Bluray quality, just avoid at all cost.

get an Apple TV

but streaming quality will never get close to bluray except maybe Bravia Core

Nvidia is better.

What you're asking is not what you had written on the thread title.



So you're not talking about the Android box itself. The clue we got from what you're asking about is in "lifetime". That usually means service, not hardware. And that usually means streaming service.

If the service is not legit, the quality would suck. Inconsistent PQ, not in 4K, no surround sound. All that stuff.

If the service is legit, it's still not comparable to 4K UHD BD or 1080p BD, since the discs gives you higher bitrate then streaming. But they're still very good.

Disney+ Hotstar is inconsistent is providing 4K PQ and 5.1 AQ, however. Sometimes a new movie or series will come out and be in 1080p only while US/Europe Disney+ have it in 4K. We still don't get the option of Imax formatted Marvel movies.

Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ are more consistent in their service.

Technically, the video and audio stream on 4K BD and 1080p are compressed already. Legit streaming services compresses their content even more. Not legit service even worse.

This feature is in-app basis. Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar have streaming statistics you can turn on and off. Prime Video has removed this feature. Apple TV+ I'm not sure; you can turn on the Developer option on Apple TV device though.

Statistics alone is not enough. You can digitize a VHS home video at 1080p resolution and mono sound and encode it to H265 video and EAC3 codec and it'll still be crap. The not-legit streaming service can give you as much bandwidth they can push but if what they captured is crap, then you get crap.

Nope. Especially not the illegitimate service.

video quality can be improve by tv engines (each brand punya quality processor).
streaming lose audio quality much even more

quality , go for certified tv box

Shield Pro + Stremio + Torrentio + Real-debrid.

4k REMUX streaming.

I don't even know why people bother with anything else, it's like you don't even respect your own eyes.

true

Whats the next best alternative that supports HDR10+? If there's any?

mi box s 2nd gen. very cheap. less than RM180. No issues quality good.

Zidoo Z20 Pro.

yea it's good for the price very reasonable

Streaming quality can never match BD quality.

Most of the IPTVs all using mediocre hardware so don't expect much.
