I have a few boxes and a firestick. I have a nitro sub through bushay at another forum and smoothstreams for sports only. I have a 3 tv set up in my basement and i use these devices to watch the games. my only complaint - and its a small one - is that there is a delay from the live game so u can't live bet using these devices unless you do it at commercial or halftime. many times there is a 20 to 30 second delay from my spectrum receiver. once in a great while the smoothsteams will have a faster feed than spectrum buy very rarely. also neither service offers the mulit-game channel from dtv that has 4 to 8 games on one screen. as a sports bettor that's my favorite channel!
I have a Savage box through Tony. I also run Area 51 its the best investment you will make and save you a ton of frustration. I have found out through the 2 years plus Media Lab is not very dependable for Live TV. If you have read the articles about Xstream you will see the problem with the IPTV providers. Sunday Media Lab was down nothing worked on Live TV. If it did it wasn't long. Until the IPTV providers have their control panel back it will be hectic.
Here is a update from Area 51 for those on the board who have it.

</header>While work to get everything back online you may notice a few things. Certain streams are not being updated or fixed. This is due to the fact, like many others services, we do not have the software/tool in place to do these things. We are getting closer each day but we are running into bugs that need to be fixed so we can come back 100%.
Some may be worried that their services will get cut off or time lost may not be honored. Rest assured that all due invoices will automatically be paid so there will be no gap in service, as well as not making you responsible to pay for service during a time it was not fully functional.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we go through this process to sort issues and restore service as soon as possible.

I run a Savage that was flashed with Area and VOD, and a new Prodigy Elite.
I used to run the Standard's software when I originally got the Savage.
I stayed on with Tony after they split due to his superior customer service, and turns out I like his boxes better too.
Zero regrets and I would wager that those proclaiming the Savage is better haven't tried Prodigy.
Glad everyone seems happy for the most part though.

There’s a new box being released soon that was announced yesterday that reminds me of a Prodigy. It’ll have a way larger network and servers, though. I agree, once again, about Tony’s customer service, it was definitely hard to leave behind( well honestly I didn’t leave behind anything as all my boxes have been purchased through Tony), but the boxes are solid, so I haven’t needed it in 1.5 years or so anyways.
How can y’all not Live bet? My box only runs about 5-10 seconds behind the local cable boxes (Spectrum), sometimes even less, but I don’t live bet really, except MMA occasionally.
I too, though, am glad everyone is happy with their purchases. 2+ years and still kickin’. Works for me...
IDK what to say, my daughter is currently watching Disney Jr. as I type this in Prime.
Where you able to get the NFL on both of your boxes Sunday? I have my conspiracy theory of why hustle boxes are able to get on and savage boxes are not. I checked my Savage box about 1 and 1/2 hours before game time and it was working fine. Come game time Media Lab (PRIME) dead. Working fine now. They also added some garbage that don't work. It worked once since yesterday.
