ChurchStreaming.tv

Pros: The service was adequate when it was worked. We didn't experience buffering or sound issues on the weeks where it worked.

Cons: Signed up for a free trial, was charged instantly. Even though we did the same process each week, it only worked 7 of the 10 weeks we used the service. When we cancelled (because of merging with another church), they billed me for an invoice that for the month which started 4 days after our cancellation. Acknowledged that it was for the month after cancellation, but would not refund the month.

Overall: Very poor experience. Did not honor free trial, only worked 70% of the time, and charged for a month after we cancelled.

Pros: It works with Wirecast that we use in-house. Not much better than other streaming services that are available.

Cons: ChurchStreaming.tv support is horrible. Time of response is horrible. Definitely not helpful when stuck during your Sunday service that gives you problems. It appears to be a one man team support. Not sure what is going on but not a streaming service I want to keep paying for.

Overall: Using streaming service because we had it already installed. It works fine but not as robust as other services with stream now, pause, or easy scheduling. I would look to get something else but for now we are using this service.

Pros: Annual premiums will not be prorated should you cancel 1-2 months into the renewed term. Annual means annual. No refunds.

Cons: Annual termed contract.

Overall: Good support except billing and inflexibility.
