I'm looking for a backup service and I came across three different resellers that appear to be selling from the same source. Is there a difference between the quality of streams from these resellers if the source is the same? One is selling the service for $7, the second is selling it for $8, and the third is selling it for $10.00. Would the catchup channels be the same or would each reseller have different ones? I'm not interested in VOD so if the catchup and the quality of the streams are the same I will just go with the cheapest. Thanks for any help.
Depends. If they just resell the same service, then it doesn't matter. They don't run the streams themselves, everything goes through the same server. If they use the same channel sources than they're probably restreaming it through their own servers, so there might be a difference (although if the stream goes down at the source, they won't be able to fix it themselves obviously).
