Differences between Fetch Mini and Fetch Mighty

Both Fetch Mini and Fetch Mighty boxes allow you to watch your favorite premium channels and media content including shows, movies, and documentaries.

However, Fetch Mini looks like a smaller and affordable streaming box as compared to Fetch Mighty. The Fetch Mini box offers media content in SD quality.

On the contrary, Fetch Mighty as the name suggests helps you watch content in 4K streaming quality. Besides, it comes with an impressive 1TB internal hard drive that lets you store media content of different TV channels for up to 500+ hours easily.

When you use the Fetch Mini box, you cannot avail such a feature but you can still watch various free-to-air channels of your choice straightaway. Besides, you can add various channels as add-ons to your existing monthly subscription plan.

How much data does Fetch TV consume?

As you might know, Fetch TV is an IPTV streaming service. Therefore, you need to have a reliable broadband internet connection that provides a certain speed that allows your Fetch TV box to broadcast different channels alongside media content without any buffering or freezing issues.

If you want to stream Fetch and Fetch HD services without any trouble, you will rely on an internet connection that offers a 3Mbps download speed. You can stream Fetch TV content up to one (1) hour using 1GB of data.

Major Advantages and Disadvantages of Fetch TV

Fetch TV does allow you to access more or less 100+ channels on your screens hassle-free. Besides, the Fetch Mighty box helps you record 6 different channels at the same time. The story does not end here as Fetch Mini, a comparatively low-cost box is suitable for viewers who do not want to benefit from the TV recording feature.

Furthermore, you can enjoy numerous additional features at no additional cost no matter if you use Fetch Mini or Fetch Mighty box. These features include:

• Availability of 30 movies every month based on different genres
• Rotten Tomatoes reviews about movies and TV shows are available
• You can buy or rent your favorite movies from 5000+ titles

However, there are some downsides associated with Fetch TV like other streaming platforms. Pricing is an area where Fetch TV has to work if the platform wants to improve its current customer base significantly.

Furthermore, Fetch TV only provides its channel packs on monthly basis. Likewise, its users cannot access their desired channel packs on yearly basis. As a result, they cannot avail any discount whatsoever.

In short, Fetch TV’s pricing strategy needs to be consumer-centric because they are already spending a handsome amount of money to accomplish their media cravings.

Is Fetch TV better than other online streaming services?

As already discussed, Fetch TV is an excellent platform ideal for streaming sports, movies, TV shows, documentaries, news, and entertainment channels accordingly.

In contrast with Netflix, Stan, Binge, and Kayo Sports, Fetch TV looks like a much better option. Through Netflix and Binge, you can watch TV shows, movies and documentaries on-demand on various devices.

But again, both these services do not offer sports streaming facility to their users. If we talk about Stan, the service has recently introduced an exclusive Stan Sport add-on for their sports-loving subscribers.

Still, Stan is nascent in the area of sports offering but on the other hand, Fetch TV box is beating all the other services by a big margin. That said, Fetch TV has a lot to do pricing-wise because it may issues while retaining and improving its existing customer base in the future.
