FABIPTV again.

Had a trial yesterday and was happy enough to get the combined package within an hour.

Tested the normal channels such as BBC, flawless.

Tested catch up and thought it was a great feature, no issues at all and a good addition to normal services.

Tested movie channels, fine overall but one period of buffering, which I think may have been a hardware issue.

Sports, worked flawless at first but sadly I did have a few moments of buffering or freezing, which would fix itself eventually or I would have to close and open again so not a huge deal. I had to load the SD stream of boxing last night when HD buffered a few times, didn't seem like to much of an issue though but I was busy watching it so switched to SD, so it's nice to know there's an alternative if HD cocks up. I never expect 100 percent when it comes to sports so I'm fine with that, and SD did seem more reliable but overall it was 99% fine even with the premier league. Will test again with the footy later.

On demand worked fine, watched a few hours last night and didn't have one issue, obviously being in its infancy content is a bit of an issue but that's something that will be added further down the line.

Generally impressed with it and worth the price, good professional customer service and speedy responses. Only issues were a few bits of buffering on sports and lack of on demand content (not really an issue there's a million places to get movies from but the speediness and reliability of Fab is impressive)

A solid 8.5/10, if it's flawless today with the football then it's a 9/10.

I'm getting a lot of buffering every few seconds on all the NBA Live Pass channels. I've just signed up, is this a common thing?
