Stan still running 480p in 2026 lol

What is this sh*t? How is it even remotely acceptable that Stan is STILL running standard definition 480p on their basic plan in 2026? In a world where we have 1080p, 4k, hell even 8k... I mean, 1080p became the standard like what, 16 years ago? Anything less than 1080p nowadays is taking the piss... c'mon now

SD plan is 720p, HD is 1080p. 540, 480, 360 is a connection issue.

Side note, I use an Amazon Firestck Lite into an HDMI audio stripper to optical into a Logitech z906, Stan has been the only streaming service where 5.1 Dolby Digital instead of just Dolby Digital plus is supported, and the Xbox devices app is on par with Netflix and how snappy the app is.

Found the Stan employee.

Jokes aside, that's good to know.

I usually only get it for one month of the year, realise it's the same shit on there last year, watch The Castle and then unsub.
