Picture quality & reliability for sports
UCL nights are massive — Manchester City vs Real Madrid, Liverpool vs Bayern, PSG vs Arsenal — and broadcasters pull out all stops for 4K production. The Final is consistently a 4K HDR broadcast on multiple feeds.
For UCL viewing specifically: Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are peak server load globally. Infinity 4K's priority routing meaningfully reduces buffering vs Elite during these slots. If you watch UCL weekly, Infinity 4K pays for itself.
Plans & pricing
Both plans include all the sport channels above. Infinity 4K gets you the expanded 4K library and priority server routing during peak match times — worth the $20 difference if you watch live sports regularly.
