Are there any streaming services (i.e. Sling TV) with a true 1080p feed?

I'm finally about to cut the cord but I'm looking for a top-notch streaming service with a 1080p feed. DO y'all know of any? I'm watching on a 65 in 4k tv so I need at least a solid 1080p feed as 720 isn't really a nice picture at that screen size.

I mean for regular live tv. ESPN, TNT, etc...
:mjlol: I've tried shyt like kodi, sling, nothing's going to replace cable 1:1 yet. Not live TV anyway and definitely not just streaming at 1080p. I haven't seen anything other than maybe Ace Links for sports but that's just rebroadcasting someone's pirated TV feed WHEN they share it.

There's no one-stop HD shop for what you're looking for that I've seen. Sling seems to be the most convenient but that was janky as hell to me.

to clarify: Ace Links are passcodes for an Ace Player when live sports are happening. Go to reddit's nfl/nba/whatever streams and someone will post one WHEN the game is happening, you copy that to the Ace Player and you've got HD sports.

I use it for Redzone and MMA shyt. Probably could stream it to your TV but there's some lag. :yeshrug:

No TV network or channel broadcasts in 1080p. They all broadcast in 720p or 1080i. The mistake you made is buying a 4K TV when their isn't enough content to justify buying 1.

Look at PS Vue breh.

You can get those channels you talking about for like 40 or 45 a month. It's cheaper if you live in the boondocks somewhere.

Vue. Not sure if it's 1080 but it's the only streaming service that offers quality in terms of resolution and doesn't lag/buffer constantly like Sling.

Like dude said cable companies don't even do 1080p ..

I used to work level 3 for time warner years ago , they had a big meeting for the networks to push it ahead but we tested and the amount of data it would take and cost wasn't worth it ..

All streaming services use varying bit rate compression, It's the only way to save your bandwidth
