Viva doesn’t do local channels unfortunately. It works pretty well though. It also supports phones and Roku devices as well as any android device.

If there was something with similar capabilities in terms of pricing/channels we would have bailed long ago, but I couldn't find another option that I thought would work for my customers.

I've heard similar experiences from others which is now making me gun shy. I like their pricing and channel lineup but if they can't deliver then it really doesn't matter much. -sean On Mon, Dec 18, 2017 at 2:53 PM, Chris Fabien <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: They are NOT ready to launch yet. They have been signing resellers up for close to a year and they are still building a proper headend with adequate bandwidth to provide the service. We signed with them in March, still don't have anything we can sell. The product has promise and they give you the flexibility to create your own channel lineup so you can really offer a good value to your customers, but the months and months of excuses and poor communication have us about ready to throw in the towel on it. I can discuss more offlist if you like.

If so would you be willing to discuss (either on-list or off-list) your experience. Thanks! -Sean
