Jumped ship today from flawless to Fab and already pleased I have. I haven't yet experienced any drops or buffers on any HD channels which were becoming a nuisance on flawless.
I shall come back next Monday the with a full review of fab, but so far so good. Even the support team have been very helpful and quick to reply. Could I request though that Discovery Science UK be added to UK documentaries soon. Thanks team Fab.
Anyone try upgrading from one of the sport or entertainment package to a full package (paying the difference) with Fab? I asked when they migrated me, but didn't get a reply.
I got a trial for fab but was unable to get it to connect. Kept getting a service connection error. Can anyone get me another? Tired of the buffering on express although the VOD selection is great and looking for a 2nd sub.
where can i get a trial?
Looked at this and just purchased the 3 month full package and working great on my Samsung TV. Seems the HD channels are 720p but no buffering which is awesome!
I am confused by all the love for Fab. I tried them, and they basically ignored my questions and either didn't read what I asked or purposefully didn't reply because the answer would have been bad.
They listed Sky Atlantic as HD but it was a stuttering SD feed. And HBO HD would only run for 20 secs then 15 secs of buffering (the problem wasn't my internet connection, the free SD Sky Atlantic Feed from addon ran with no stuttering, other non Fab HD streams were fine and I checked my connection).
I asked them multiple times very politely if this was a temporary problem or it was the norm for them and this was their response:
A lot of our channels is controlled by our source stream provider. We stream it as is with out any down conversion. As much as we want 1080p for everything.. you got what we got.
I never asked about 1080p, I just wanted to know if it was a mislabel and if they planned to fix the mislabel and the stuttering. So I asked again a little while later to see if the problem was fixed, thinking it was maybe just a busy couple of days for them when I tried last and they just ignored me.
I'm with Peace Country now (connected to Flawless I think?) and it has been...flawless (with the bonus of actual HD Sky Atlantic and HBO).
Dont see why there is such a lovefest for FABITPV either. Not feeling the love myself. Some channels on fab are fine but spent a sad afternoon trying to watch S*ports and quality was terrible. ALso irish channels are glitchy and US channels also poor.
Fab TV is really good and so is Flawless. I love how Flawless has all the American sport packages. Fab tv actually uses SmoothStreams live tv section just like Vader Streams does
I'm in the exact same boat, changed yesterday and already a better experience altogether. I can actually sit an watch a program without constant buffering or stuttering.
