I don't typically write reviews but felt compelled to here.
1Vision is a scam, pure and simple. Here's what's happening, remember TNT Media? Everyone was head over heels with, well all of the sudden a channel went missing here, a channel missing there. Eventually, it kept getting cut down and down.
As is typical, people would ask the TNT admins in the discord what's going on and they wouldn't answer. In fact, they would delete the message and ban them. Eventually, they said they are shutting down soon and "because we love you customers, we want you to use a great provider we found for you. It's 1Vision, here's their discord and how to buy".
WOW! How nice of them! They found someone new for us and what a coincidence, all those missing channels are on the new service. The website/theme that is used is basically the same by the way, which is doubly funny. What are the chances that two totally different (wink wink) services use the same sort of website theme??? In fact if you bought a lifetime service to TNT, they'll move to 1vision for free. How nice of this completely random service to take on all those lifetime accounts.
Anyways, like an idiot I pay for the new service (there were no trials by the way). Buffering like crazy, big events like sports/ppv lag like hell. The old owners weren't really that bad, not sure if they're the same, but the new owner of 1ivison are scummy fucks. I'm in their discord now and the way this new admin responds to people, it's like you're bothering him by suggesting a channel could be down.
I tried asking one of the admins for help as well on an issue and was basically laughed at because, hey, I paid so what use am I to them? I wouldn't be so upset if the buffering wasn't so crap.
Well, with superior options like Inferno, crystal, Helix, you're better off avoiding this garbage service and their even bigger garbage customer service.
I agree with many statements made by the OP, I have a lifetime sub that they gladly honored and migrated but the missing channels from TNT are not on 1Vision. Still missing a ton of critical sports channels and I've seen the behavior in the discord where people flag channels and it appears like you're bothering them. I'm happy they honored my migration but the service is pretty much useless to me with so many channels missing from the lineup.
