Guess I'm the third to review these guys in a short while but wanted to give my take on them.

Been using them about 3 months, or since just before the whole XC raid so however long ago that was. I'm in the UK but I watch mainly North American content since I'm originally from the Chicago area, but I originally but the Euro server from Orion which lasted about a week before the XC raid killed it. Orion had their site down until things got sorted, which was about a month but they responded to emails pretty much right away and told me they'd look after me once everything played out.

I'd paid for 3 months of the Euro server and got about a week of use out of it before it got killed. I didn't ask for a refund but asked if we could work something out for a discount or some kind of break since I got kind of screwed. They didn't even come back to me with a deal, they just gave me 3 months of their North American service for "free" (though I had paid for the other server originally). No questions asked, no hassles, just here you go, sorry you got screwed, use this instead. Thought that was awesome of them because they're crypto only, meaning there's really no way to do a charge back or anything like that...all you can really do is ask nicely and hope for the best. Well, they came through and that scored a lot of points with me because I get nervous sending crypto. Standing behind their service is big for me.

So let me get to the point. The Euro server going down is pretty much the best thing that could've happened because the North American server is hands down the best service I've ever used. It's steady, no bullshit, just straight up good streams. They've got every event covered. UFC is a measuring stick for PPV to me, that and boxing probably put the most strain on things. Not a single buffer or issue for anything the last few months. Maybe one hiccup here and there for an NHL game or something but it gets fixed within a few minutes without even having to report it, so they are for sure on top of things.

EPG is really solid for US, works nice with Tivimate and IMPlayer. Since I live in the UK I watch a bit of that content as well and it's pretty good too. US gets more attention but UK is steady enough too.

I do use a VPN since I'm in the UK, and it works nicely with it. If ever I do have an issue, changing VPN servers fixes it so whatever minimal buffering I do get is on my end, and if I switch VPN servers it goes away entirely so I guess it's a routing issue or maybe my VPN just sucks (using PIA but I think I'm going to try Surfshark).

So to wrap this up, this is my main provider now and barring a rapid decline in quality, I don't see any reason to leave them. Starts at $11 USD for a month but if you go longer it gets cheaper and cheaper. Wouldn't recommend anyone sign up for too long given what's happened the last few months but they only sell up to 6 months. I personally buy 3 months at a time, it's a good price and if it goes away then easy enough to cut my losses and move on.

No affiliate link, no BS just an honest review, happy to find something I can rely on after trying a bunch of others. And thanks to whoever it was that originally reviewed them on here because it's how I found them.

It doesn't look like they have trials any more but it's worth a month. Just remember you have to use Bitcoin and I think they added Litecoin too.
