Hi Guys,

I'm reviewing FAB here for you, and I've also included some screen grabs from Kodi as I feel this is missing from a lot of reviews. Pictures and getting the look and feel is important to a lot of people before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Especially if setting it up for someone non-technical.

This is a review of the full entertainment and sports package, used on a RPi3 and a Windows 7 setup, on 17.1 Krypton.

I did quite a bit of research before setting up FAB and so I was 80% sure of what setup was involved, and also what the pitfalls might be regarding the EPG timezone problems. Nothing to be overly worried about.

I spoke with their technical support via a ticket on their website regarding a few questions and was answered within 10minutes. Top marks here. They also offer a weekday 24hour trial.

From the checkout to having a video playing on my system was about 5minutes. The emails contain all the information you could need and it's very self-explanatory. The HD channels looked great and I watched a couple of movies and the news channels for ages forgetting it was through my Pi and not my Sat Dish.

I would reccommend anyone to check out FAB, it's a great price and is very UK centric, with all the Sky channels you could want, there is also a good selection of USA/Canadian channels and also some international sports channels. I didn't want anything more, and there is also a 'catch-up' service launching soon. Channel List Link

The Pros:

• Great fast customer service (email and website tickets)

• FB group to talk with other users

• Quality of video is excellent on 40" 1080p TV

• Great price

The Cons:

• The knowledgebase on the website is a bit sparse (could do with more information perhaps with pics)

• My Pi rebooted itself once, but I think it might have been me switching menus and playing with it too much

• Some programs on certain channels (international sports ones) didn't match the EPG.

• The iOS app FAB works with is clunky and is not user friendly and has timezone issues also for the EPG.

Overall it's a recommendation from me..

Here's some pics of the screens you'll see when set up
