Epicstream review

by VTKillarney

Signup was quick and efficient.

The channel selection is fine. There are all of the English channels that I would want, both North American and U.K.

The Facebook group is fairly active, and the administrators definitely pay attention to feedback.

Picture quality is very good. No complaints at all. I had no problems with buffering, although I have not yet tried to watch TV during big demand sports events. But so far I am impressed with the steadiness of the streams.

My only gripe is the Kodi integration. There is no stand alone add-on. There is only PVR integration through Kodi's PVR function. This means that (without some significant technical knowledge), you can't group channels. To make matters worse, there is no logic at all to the ordering of the channels. With about 250 English channels, you have to scroll blindly hoping to stumble upon the channel you want to watch.

I'm conflicted. While I am very impressed with the service itself, I doubt that I will renew until they do better with Kodi integration. Hopefully they will get that figured out.

I did try the service with the Kodi PVR function and it kinda sucked on my Fire TV stick. I think they acknowledge this limitation and suggest STB Emu or Perfect Player. I made the switch to STB Emu and it's really nice.
