+1 Epicstream.
I tried Express and ACE and they are not as good.

It's odd but I've had almost the opposite issue with the trial today. More buffering and EPG issues than with Fab. Maybe it's a location/ISP thing?

Also, I'm 99% sure you can setup fab to use simple also. Just manually add the server details.

sent an email to have a trial of epicstream never got an answer, is there another way to talk to them I really want to try !
