The NBA's national TV rights are now split across ABC/ESPN, NBC and Prime Video — which means following one season the official way takes three subscriptions before you've even added out-of-market games. SMART OTT consolidates every national feed, NBA TV and the regional broadcasts into one subscription: every team, every game, playoffs through the Finals, in HD or 4K where broadcast.

Picture quality & reliability for sports
NBA broadcasts are 1080p60 as standard, with select national games in 4K. SMART OTT passes through the broadcaster's source quality — fast-break basketball is where 60fps matters most, so wired Ethernet and the Infinity 4K plan's priority routing are worth it for playoff nights.
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.
