The short answer

Breadth and brand recognition versus the only real cloud DVR and catch-up TV in our directory.

Apollo Group TV wins on size; Xtrix TV wins on features. If you've ever wanted to "pause live TV" or record a match to rewatch with friends, Xtrix is the only provider in our 18-service directory that actually supports it reliably.

Xtrix is pricier on monthly ($19.99 vs Apollo's $19.99 monthly / $9.99 annual-effective), smaller on channel count, and has a thinner device matrix. But the feature set is closer to a mainstream streaming service than to a typical IPTV provider.
