So I am a huge MLB fan and I have had SportsAccess and SS but want something with USA channels and would love some CAN and UK also.
I am looking at:
Gears/Reloaded
Nitro
ACE
Epic
Torula
Fab?
I have heard good things about most of them but wanting some input from you all.
I would like the MLB to have listed what game is on so I don't have to keep going through channels to find the game I want. A good EPG also for other channels. I also watch NBA so having that would be great also.
I know SS and SA are great for sports and I will probably have one of then for a backup.
Vader (when they can actually keep the servers up, which is steadily becoming a bigger issue for them by the month lately) was good to me overall for MLB coverage this past season, although if you also watch MLB Network that channel has a pretty common tendency (at least once a week, lasting for up to a day. at rare times even longer) to have it's audio go notably out of sync with the video playback.
Gears was decent as well for MLB stuff, but their streams aren't quite as consistently stable as Vader's feeds. MLB network isn't one of their stronger channels on the buffering front. Sometimes the picture quality could be better though.
I never had any real luck with Fab, at least in comparison to those other 2. Games and live TV in general would always run into wayyy more buffering issues. Let me down as a backup service any and every time the opportunity arose for it to shine. Been a while since I bothered with them though.
Never tested the others with MLB stuff.
