I'll just start by saying I don't have any connection with the host in anyway, I was sent a reply as a result of me requesting a supplier.

This review is a result of my 12 hour trial so I shall update this once I've had my months sub. Havoks is the man (or woman) who runs the gaff and is situated on the Techkings forum as a donated member/VIP.

Channel List 9/10

So I guess I'll start with the channel selection.

I'm situated in the UK so a list containing a multitude of Sly/Virgin UK channels is always a plus. With VB I found the list to be to my needs with all/majority of UK based channels present.

Even things like Dave HD were there unlike some providers. HD is always hit n miss I'm assuming due to the extra bandwidth. As long as I can see the picture and it's stable I'm not too fussed but HD is always a plus.

It includes some foreign channels but I'm not too fussed about these really.

Not much more to say really. Great selection and caters to my needs.

VOD/247 8/10

VOD is a swings and roundabouts sort of section, purely because it's only just been added.

It consist of movies for now but the provider has mentioned that TV shows and 24/7 are a potential and being considered for the future. Large selection ranging from older films to newest releases. When i took the trial, VOD had only really been added a couple of days beforehand so I see this as acceptable. Hopefully this will increase soon but has a few films to get you going for now. Stability seemed fine, no buffering although I'm yet to fully watch a film.

Take my review on this part with a pinch of salt for now.

Stability 9/10

Previous to taking a trial, I'd trialed other suppliers like GTech and another person who goes by the name 'Gaz'. Both these services seemed to either buffer or lag within the first few minutes of me being on - bad impressions.

As for VB, stability was fantastic. I only encountered a one or two buffers for the duration of the trial but apart from that I've yet to complain about me being kicked out or being unable to stream a channel so a plus there.

Support 10/10

Support, wow. I'm impressed. Really friendly and approachable. He goes by the name Havoks and is situated on the Techkings forum. Not really been able to judge this but from the few queries and problems I had, he messaged back instantly and helped resolve them without fuss.

Subscriptions 10/10

Offers anywhere from a month to 12 months subscriptions with options for multi room. Prices are reasonable and from what I've learnt, monthly is the way to go so a big plus here as I noticed many don't offer monthly and either give, 3 or 6 month minimum.

Conclusion

So overall, would I recommend? From what I've seen in my trial, certainly. As said, I've now taken a month just to see how I get along. You may argue that a 12 hour trial isn't really enough for me to give a review but I'll update this review after a month or so.

The only downside is I do like the idea of an automated panel to renew my subscription and a website but as of now the provider isn't going down that route.
