Do you also have catchup service? If so who is your provider please?

I've sent you a PM. I should also add, the service works best when connected through a VPN. I use Nord.

The 10 second review & recommendation:
Take a 24 hour free stream at:-
https://xtreamtv.live/index.php?rp=/store/trials
and wait to be impressed 🙂

 

Advice:
Now for the rather boring but detailed review however, my advice would be to skip the details below and take either the free or paid trial in the link above.
You have been warned.....

 

Introduction:
I have been using my current stream provider since the start of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in July 2021 which coincided with the Covid outbreak when the local authorities advised they were going to close all bars in order to stop the Covid spread.  I urgently needed a stream, with sports, in order to be able to watch the B&I Lions Internationals.  I only had a few days to sort and though rushed, I came up trumps on the very first attempt with my current provider.  For the 3 years since then I have been looking for a backup stream, I have taken many trials (many being 20 or so free trials).  I even paid for many a months sub to those trials that seemed to pass muster only to have been disappointed when detailed testing uncovered many issues.  
Now for the good news; I took a trial with Xtream and I was so impressed with the free trial that when they offered a one off discount I jumped at the offer and took a year's sub.  
After extensive testing I can say that I have been way impressed and I am sure that if you take the trial, especially the paid trial with catchup, you will be equally impressed 🙂

 

Details:
Xtream provide 7 days of catchup on almost all of the UK main and most sports channels that I could wish for.  
One of the benefits of  the Xtream catchup streams is many of these streams have two catchup streams per channel i.e. catchup on BBC1 is available as both FHD and SD.  
Best of all, not only do Xtream provide their own apps but they also provide the URL (m3u) of their servers to those of us that require this info.

 

Background & Recommendation:
In the early days of my streaming I had been using a stream provider for many years that were good but they were taken down when they decided to add sports to their offering.  
No names mentioned but I am sure you old timers amongst us know who I am referring to.  With my many years experience of using good stream providers and my dismissal of so many streams during testing that just did not come up to par, I feel I can offer sound recommendations hence I have no qualms in recommending Xtream as either a main or backup stream provider.

No doubt others on this forum will agree that it is not easy to find a source that provides high quality live streams with at least 7 days of catchup that have little to no buffering on either live or catchup whilst including the server URL so please allow me to suggest you take either the free trial or even pay the nominal fee for the 24 hour sports trial with catchup using the link above and see for yourself.  
What have you got to lose?
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! !!!

 

Search:
My search for a backup has taken me years to find a provider that has come anywhere near being close to my main provider in the quality of their streams to act as a backup.  
Xtreams are not only close but they may even surpass my main provider.  Believe me, this is high praise indeed and only time will tell as this is early days but to give you a clue, the overflow Galagher rugby matches are being streamed on TNT Sports 5.  No stream provider I know of offers catchup on this stream so I use Xtream as my stream of preference to record the match, (with only one paid sub per provider I have to choose which provider's stream to use for recording whilst viewing on the other stream).
and yes, Xtream really are that good.

 

Closing Comments:
If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.
If, perchance you doubt my review just take a gander at:-

p.s. I can no longer recommend my main provider for two reasons:-
i)  I posted on here many years ago that my main supplier were good, many took my advice but failed to complete a transaction due to my provider playing silly buggers
ii) For security reasons my main supplier will only take new customers from personal referrals and knowing potential customers from a forum is not enough
