Your streaming box has not worked for the past 3 weeks
I believe that for reasons out of your hands, the link to the overseas streaming is congested or not working
It’s been two or three weeks with alternate poor results, Missing out on shows or continuously seeing buffering occurring on my screen
ultimately you have to somehow fix the problem or reimburse the money?
Going out of business soon?
It seems that their service is going downhill fast, with channels disappearing, constant freezing as well as the constant buffering.
This started happening around Christmas of 2021 with a lot of my family and friends in different places and with varied internet connection methods. Every time someone calls the Sydney number of support is told that they should buy a new box, even when the box in question is less than a month old!
No real support, offering discounts and pushing sales very hard are not very good signs. Family and friends, with and without smart TVs, have found a couple of much better alternatives, that provide both sales AND support, and are interested in their customers FOR THE LONG HAUL. I will join one of them too.

This is terrible. Can't use it at all.
Don't go for the new box.
It's not working whatever you do. You can't return it or replace it. Very bad customer service.
It's just another way to collect money without giving any service.

This is poor service and telephones communications
This new box doesn't work probable. Also we can't communicate with them by phone for supporting but just selling. They wants us to drive away to fix the box by our self (just one month old) instead of changing it for us by sending another box or refund our money before the warranty period will expired.
Unfortunately this new management doesn't make us continue the service. We used to have two boxes over the last years.

Avoid Like The Plague
In a recent dealing with them, I could not help but feel that they are trying to hide things from customers. The person I was dealing with was from Accounts, not Tech support. He got very aggressive when I questioned the way they run their business. I even saved the string of more than 10 E-mails back and forth, and am very surprised at what was actually put in writing!
For instance, they are a registered local Australian business with an ABN (31 162 677 081) and a registered local Australian company with an ACN (162 677 081) since March the 5t...

Very negative
Not worth a cent, cant see anything most of time buffering, though internet is strong, my laptop, mobile, printer, tablet all working wifi perfectly, they sent new box but the remote control does not work at all, promised new one never arrived. Already cancelled two contracts, and once this is over will not renew, very bad service, no support, once paid then forget about any kind of assistance or replacements.

The box must come from MARS
If you want to order a box regardless it stating on their website it will be sent express post in 3-4 days , don’t expect to get your box before 2 months at least. Customer service doesn’t exist. They respond to your enquires by being sarcastic and blaming others rather then being empathetic and listening to the feedback to improve their business practices. Don’t stress yourself going with these guys pick another provider.

Don't Buy it. It's not working
I purchased their Italian TV programs before Xmas last year (2020). After some initial glitches, ReelPlay seemed to be working fairly well. The those glitches (i.e., interruptions of displayed shows in mid sentences with frozen images) became ever more frequent. Finally in the last week, it has become almost impossible to watch any show because of frozen broadcast every a few seconds of viewing. I would like to add that only recently, I ventured to renew my subscription for another 6 months, to April 2021.
Clearly, I will not renew my sub any further, unless there would be a very marked improvement in ReelPlay broadcasting. Our NBN speed is about 41-59 mb/sec

assistance
I had three subs now two subscriptions, two boxes unfortunately no support, no phone numbers to call for assistance, and if I call a shop there is always an excuse not to answer... it is not their job..... as for the renewal of the box before end december, I phoned more times of course no one answered just registration, then kept on the line for over 20 minutes at times only annoying music. It is not really nice of them to sell and then no more support..... quick to sell but stops there. More times no connection though my internet power and speed increased and not diminished.... .. is there a possibility to find support when it is not working or when one needs more info......... disappointed from the service.
you put phone number and wrote to call, but there is only registrations and very anoying music, so why put phone number if there is not the intention of respecting what you put down? I wanted to ask...
Read more whether I can at this point finish my contract from the moment am unable to pay for two new boxes the exagerated amounts you are asking, first, second you had problems even with the server before, you had problems in transmitting, promised no buffering when this is true to a certain point, continues giving no internet connection, strange because my computer and m,obile were always working properly, I phoned the server every time wasted my and their time and line was more than ok, and speed is higher than needed........ selling is the dream of everyone but good service is the dream of all buyers when they have to pay money gained with hard work. #- 2 reviews

Poor customer service. FInd another provider if possible
I purchased a remote from their website, only to find out I could have bought from the reseller in my area. No one from Reelplay told me that i have access to a reseller, instead, they took advantage of the situation and sold me the remote. I had to also pay an additional $25 for shipping since the remote is coming from wherever to Canada. When I try speaking to customer support, no one is helpful. They are argumentative and focused on being right rather than helping.

Bad customer service, rude and unhelpful. Some technical issues
Overall the viewing is good but has some technical issues once in a while and the stupid 7 day rewind doesn’t work either at times . Very hard to get a hold of these guys with basically no customer service and if you do they are not very helpful . If it wasn’t for my mum I wouldn’t have any thing to do with these type of people.
