My Vcarib review (from free trial)

by symbiance09

I was able to get a free trial today (through /r/iptv) and mess with the service for a few hours.

I am using a dreamlink t1 box with decent enough internet to stream smooth.

Pros:

  • the EPG seems fairly well put together. On the channels i land on are what the EPG say is playing

  • the channels i streamed (specifically sports) have played smooth without buffering issues and freezing

  • tons of channels* and almost every channel i looked for was on this service and played clearly as if it was straight from my cable company.

  • seems to have all major sports packages. Im a sucker for nhl. Also seen it had nba playing.

  • havent seen a provider have this before, but have quite a few local news channels from different regions. I found that pretty neat.

  • on demand seemed well put together with a decent selection (both quantity and quality films

Cons:

  • A couple channels i landed on seemed to have been repeating and buffering a bit.

  • unsure why, but looks like some channels are repeated about 2 or 3 times. Possibly different streams or backups. Maybe someone can fill me in on this one

  • higher numbered channels wouldnt really play. Id get error saying "can not play video"

  • 24 hour channels didnt play at all.

Other:

  • i see g4tv. I got excited but then it seemed channel was offline. I assume this is because of the canadian issues alot of providers are having around here

  • channel 1 is a promo for invoke. Its on a quick bootloop and seems to restart. Not an issue at all. Figured id say a technical error that could be made aware.

Conclusion:

While i havent had long to test this service (and i have read the reviews and experiences people had before on this)... i would say you get your moneys worth for the service. It could defintely use improvement with the number of channels that werent playing. But id say if i knew the customer service was better i would completely pay for another month and use them as a alternative 2nd source to my current iptv provider.

I would rate the service 6.75/10. Its good, but there is room for alot of improvement. And i can say improvements that can be made to the service can justify a price increase.

I wouldn't mind trying them if the guy who runs it wasn't such a fucking tool. Anyone who disrespects the customer (unless the customer is a big prick) shouldn't be given any business.

If you check around, problem isn't really their iptv service, its their very bad customer service. Guy has a short fuse to say the least, not worth the abuse, and best to go elsewhere.

the guy is a total tool....bought one month...he was abusive but I got through....decided to by a panel and the twat keeps being abusive and says he sent me the info when he hasn't.....needless to say he will be getting a chargeback up his ass
