Where to download sample sports clips

Taxboy · 28 Oct 2018 at 15:12

I'm looking to upgrade our ancient TV, which is not even HD !! I understand it is recommended to take a memory stick to view test footage. Can anyone advise where legally I can get HD and 4k sports samples to download please. I currently get BT sport and I intend to upgrade the package once I get the new TV.

Ideally would like football if possible

All advice appreciated

Though reading the comments... the file format each clip is in varies.

You'd have to check what format you need.

I would look on utube too (seem to be several 50fps sdr 4k, vp9 codec - Guga tv) can download some, or even play natively with tv utube player,
probably 15Mb/s which, I believe is typical/max for utube and similar to netflix & BT4K, but sky live F1 has 30Mb/s.
will probably need to know how to adjust a tv's options too eg. black frame insertion, motion interpolation, mpeg noise.

Thanks for the reply. Like most things it's never straightforward these days ! I'm guessing the sales guy should be able to do the TV adjustments to get the best out of it ? I was thinking of booking an appointment for a viewing room with Richer Sounds and taking some samples with me, or would I be wasting my time andshould just go with what they can offer
