Maybe by playoffs.

Don't think so..they add 50fps this season...

When my neighbour owns a Maruti 800, I just need to buy an Alto or Wagon R to keep an edge over my neighbour. Why should I go for an S cross? I can save lot of money. This was the Star Sony Duo then.But now situation changed. Sony was the major rival of Star till Jio's entry. Mostly Sony stood inferior to Star even having potential to compete. Now Jio Cinema is doing some never before attempts that compel Star to start some work aggressively. But I think we can't say all the features introduced by Jio Cinema can be experimented early by old players. Jio is a new comer. They are currently investing such way that to grab popularity than returns. Admitting some things could be early introduced by Star and Sony as the veterans in the market. So lets wait to the next season what all features Jio Cinema retains and which all language feeds they switch off.

When it came to streaming Sony always offered superior picture quality. They are testing 4K for all content. Soon we will get all ECB matches in 4K. That's not a prediction. It's a spoiler.

Star has all the traits of Airtel. Its like Deja VU whats happening to Star. I hope they compete and make themselves better like Airtel did when Jio entered the telecom market

Yes. On the other hand UI was poor. So compensate with Hotstar. If we look over all broadcasting and streaming, Star is good at something and Sony for other something. Mostly Star keeps edge. And both of them never tried to go higher than each other in a large margin. Thereby arrival of innovations got retarded or blocked.

I personally never liked the UI of Hotstar or Disney+ Hotstar. I am not big fan of Sony Liv's UI either. It's a sad laggy rip off of Netflix's UI. It's very annoying to search a specific episode to find and watch. I pay for YouTube Premium to watch Sony's shows on TV. Here, I am gonna give it to Disney. They have improved the app alot. Specially when it comes to data compression and offline mode. But took forever to introduce profiles. It's still not available. It's not convenient to use. IMO Disney needs to ditch Hotstar X and have a single global app for Disney+. They need to improve streaming of sports. Sony Liv offers streams 50 fps. Star is yet to do same on any event despite having rights to events like Premier League.

I've used the global Disney+ app when it launched. It worked smoothly and miles better than the current Disney+ Hotstar and that was 3 years ago. No idea why they thought sticking with an inferior code base or app in South East Asia was a brilliant choice. Now they've launched this useless app in Middle East & Africa instead of launching the global Disney+ app.

Jio cinema born with 4K or upscale 4K like innovative kid, Hotstar have 5 years of study with IPL, BCCI and ICC, but still spells A B C D in cricket streaming
