Do you tire of watching the same old televisions channels throughout the day including the boring reruns that are aired to fill in the time slots? The American network grid has increasing number of channels in the grid but many are disappointing due to a lack of quality content. Plus, the content is very common since there are no international shows with other cultural influences. And if you are a big television enthusiast then you might feel sorry for all the global entertainment you are missing. But now there is a way to say goodbye to such disappointments with the new Rabbit TV.

Rabbit TV USB Video
Rabbit TV USB
Rabbit TV is a simple USB stick which can provide access to television shows and radio channels from almost all the counties in the world and relay it on the computer. The basic requirement to run a Rabbit TV is to have an internet access to convert it into an entertainment system. With all the limited content and increasing prices of channels especially with the new Pay Per View system it is really difficult to follow a favorite program on a costly network. Rabbit TV eliminates that problem altogether by providing the channels and radio stations for absolutely no extra cost or any kind of hidden charges whatsoever.
Rabbit TV when plugged into a computer or laptop initiates an interactive UI which helps the users to select the country from which the desired content belongs to and then from the country list select the channel or radio station. The interface is very simplified and has easy to follow steps for accessing over 2000 International TV stations and 9000 different Radio Stations. With these many number of channels and radio stations available there is no chance that a person will ever be bored again.
The best part of Rabbit TV is that it works perfectly fine even on the move with the help of internet access points at Home, Hotels, Airports and even when in the car with the help of portable internet cards. There is no need for any installation for Rabbit TV to start the functioning and easy to remove just like a USB stick. A new offer of one Rabbit TV free with purchase of one is available for a limited time only.
Read this before you Buy Rabbit TV
There are many products like Rabbit TV that get sold on As Seen On TV and you will find sleek sales pitches for them. It’s natural that you are tempted to buy these products after that but when the product arrives you are in for a major shock.

In case you are keen on buying products like Rabbit TV, then you need to follow reviews offered by customers who have actually used them. You will find such reviews on genuine sites and not fakes ones that have cropped up all over the Internet.

The product does nothing you can not do on your own..Furthermore the ad’s state it will work on any computer…Not true…Unless you are still stuck on Windoze…Think of all the devices with usb ports that are not Windoze based..On the whole 10 bucks spent and lesson learned… However I will see about getting the retailer to remove it from the shelves.
He’s right just awaste of $10.00 ..tv shows such as Walking Dead/American Idol episodes cost additional to see. Movies are old like “night of the living dead” There is no free lunch … BUYER BEWARE
Don’t be a fool like me

This thing won’t work. Plug it in and it won’t do a thing. Glad I didn’t pay too much for this. i will advise all my friends that this is a scram and don’t waste your time.
I have the rabbit tv. Com usb device. I got it from taylor gifts . A package of 2 I filled out a registration. To use it. . It did not work . Maybe because I do not have the fast cable on my cable line. Only the lite like a dial up. So it would not do it. . . . Please delete my form I filled out . I did not order it . I just put my name and my address on the form I fixed out . My name is Maryellen thurman on the form I fixed out so I won’t be using the rabbit tv . Com usb thing at all . . I gave the other one to my son in law it didn’t work at all either for him. Thank you very much for your help . Please delete all of the things that have my name and address on it. Maryellen Thurman.
Rabbit tv is a piece of junk, do not buy ,it breaks after a few hours of viewing.
I have tried several “free satellite TV on your computer” services (I actually got my money back!) and have come to the conclusion that there is NO SUCH THING!!! Some cable companies are offering to their customers some channels, but other than that, it doesn’t exist. The technology is there, but no one has used it yet….
Amazing–this site claims to be “free”, “honest”, and “unbiased”.
And there is no one, no user that has had a good experience with this product? BULL!
It worked fine when first plugged in, gave me easy access to many programs I don’t see on my (I have the full package) Comcast cable, and, except for not liking the many advertisements on the screen, I like it, and intend to keep using it.
These so called “reviews” are obviously a compendium of every negative thought the administrators of this site could find. I even question how many of them are real. I also wonder who or what is backing this site–what is to be gained by dissing the Rabbit program. Somebody must want it dead!
I bought Rabbit TV and it’s nothing more than a TV guide. I contacted the chat rep and that person told me exactly that. It’s not worth the money. I can already see the TV shows locally that are linked there and the ones that I can’t get locally it links me to where I can pay to watch. The packaging is a complete lie and I’m going to start looking for an attorney who wants to take this on as a class action suit. I’m tired of being lied to and ripped off.
Just purchased from company’s gift shop about 1/2 hour ago. Guess what? It’s going back in about 30 minutes. I’m glad I came to this site.
If I had known that you just wanted to steal $10.00 from me you could have asked. I would send $10.00 to anyone who needs it. Wish I had known before I spent the money for this trinket.
Hey, I need a Tenspot!
Send it to Me please!
How does the rabbit tv work if you already have it and all the computer does is tell you how to order. I don’t need to order I just need it to work.
I purchased Rabbit TV from CVS. Thank God I can take it back and get my money refunded. I do not have cable and thought this would be a easier way to watch free tv online. I plugged it into my laptop and within 2-3 seconds my computer anti virus software popped up telling me to immediately shut down my computer because it has detected a Trojan Virus. Rabbit TV comes with viruses already on it to infect your computer. WARNING !!!!!!! DO NOT BUY Rabbit TV !!!!!
I have ordered this as seen on rabbittv and it is a scam. For two weeks now I have been trying to get to work, it will go so far as to your selection and will not down load the movies or shows. I wished I had checked up on this product before I purchased it. DO NOT BUY RABBIT TV
For the convenience I thought, ” Only $10.00, it’s worth a try”. IT’S NOT. My security program prior to registering popped up a big exclamation point and told me that their software gave them access to my files and network connections. No use for that, unless their is some malicious motive. I followed its advice, and didn’t run Rabbit. From what I read here it looks like there is not much use in trying to get a rebate. My security program also advised that to even download a program from the internet that is not a trusted source [without a certificate] is risky. Live and learn.
This better work, but it sounds great!
Depending on where you live, you can get many channels for free now over-the-air as long as you have a digital tv. Just plug your tv cable into the cable outlet,provided by Comcast or TimeWarner, then you can scroll through the available OTA channels in your area. Much better than paying the exorbitant rates these cable companies charge. Plus if you want to watch movies, sports, etc. you can purchase an inexpensive streaming media player or connect your tv to your computer, all for a much lower price than cable companies charge for multiple channels of stuff you won’t watch anyways.
Rabbit TV does offer the same free programs you can find on the internet yourself, However without Rabbit you will have to search the internet or bookmark each page every time you want to watch something free, Rabbit however takes the place of manually searching or bookmarking for FREE TV programs and Free Movies, its nicely laid out. At Walmart its now $10.00, and worth it. You can log on onto rabbit, pick a live TV station, or movie and enjoy. if you can not afford $10 then skip it and continue to manually use Google search engine to find free stuff to watch.
They should at least be honest that that’s all you are getting.
You can download Miro, which will hook you up to free tv stations and radio stations. Check out the reviews on CNET.com. I think you will find you are, pleasantly, surprised.
Living on a very low, fixed income has led me to look for ways to save money. By doing so, I want to share what I know to help others, who also want to save money. Hopefully, this information, regarding Miro, will help you to stop wasting money on things like Rabbit TV and give you a break, which you so richly deserve. Enjoy
Thank you for this information. I checked the CNET.com reviews and Miro definitely looks worth trying!
Thanks! I’ll have to check out Miro since I am on a very low fixed income too
They stole $71.99 from me, that they insist they didnt take. I have incurred bank fees of $35.00 because of that charge. They told me to prove they took it and I faxed them bank statements and more. They wont give me my money back and I didnt order from them. what they fail to tell us here in the states is they are based in the Middle East and you can only talk to people in the Middle East when you call. All the same places where the people from 911 and where the Boston bombers learned from need I say more or would you like to fund terrorism.
You sound like an idiot
KERI, Mom, you are the idiot. Go sit on pipe bomb with your rabbit usb.
Did not get my username or email or password, what can I do?
RE: Merchandise return for credit to card account
Date: 4/2/2103
“Dear Sir,
Pursuant to instructions which I received today via a telephone conversation with your representative in India, I am returning all the items which I received from Rabbit TV.
I am not satisfied as to the product’s offerings. The TV program package is a duplicate of the movie and channel programs which I already pay for and receive from XFinity (Comcast) in our area.
Your product is offered with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I was not aware that acquisition and installation of your product also required an annual renewal fee. Had I been informed of that aspect of this purchase I would have been better informed and I would have another factor in my decision to purchase to consider. Therefore I am exercising my rights under your written guarantee of a refund of my purchase costs.
It is my understanding that my credit card account will be credited with a refund within five days of your receipt of the returned items.”
Date: 4/18/2013: Credit card statement shows nothing credited for the returned items. Charges still remain.
File a charge back with you credit card company.
The rabbit tv is a POS, it says go to login & wont let you register let use the damn thing!
BIG TIME RIP OFF!!!!
A piece of garbage. Don’t waste your money. Can’t get customer support no way, no how, not even live chat.
POS… do not purchase!!
Rabbit TV is a fake! It says that it will provide you with all kinds of channels for free? Not true!! It’s a bunch of web sites combined that you can get without using the USB Rabbit TV devise. It also says that it has HD on all channels. Another Lie! It sends you to a website to buy a satellite receiver that picks up maybe 30 channels. The shows you watch are from You Tube and are very poor quality. I wished that I paid more attention to these commits before buying this poor product. Luckily the store said I could bring it in for a full refund. Please do not buy or fall for this scam.
I purchased the RABBIT TV USB followed the installation steps, than a red flag flashed on my screen and told me that this program could release viruses and damage my hard drive. I immediately returned the RABBIT to where I purchased it.
I used my Rabbit TV four times and it was AWESOME! I was very disappointed when it suddenly stopped working for no reason. I have tried to contact someone in association with this product but no one has helped or even offered solutions to try and troubleshoot the device. In my opinion it was a waste of 10 bucks.
Same here, to the trash
Rabbit TV most of the stations on it I can access through the internet already. Some of the stations that they say I can watch, don’t even have a way to watch episodes, only video clips. Example: BBC America, the only way you can watch BBC you have to be in ENGLAND using a flash player that is only available in ENGLAND> IN AMERICA ………..Sorry about your luck!
RABBIT TV NOT WORTH IT!!!
This product is horrible, horrible, horrible… Glad I bought it from Walgreen and I am returning it… All the channels that they offer are available for free on your PC, Phone through free websites and apps!
I thought I will be watching an actual TV but not, they do direct you to other websites that have the episodes recorded and available for free anyway…
DON’T BUY!!! SAVE YOUR $10… YOU CAN SEND ME A $1 FOR MY ADVICE LOL…
Their purchasing method is a scam you cant back out once you see what all they are charging . THAT YOU DID NOT AGREE TO SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM
If I have an LED TV with a USB port, and Ethernet connection, can I use this USB device in my TV, or can I only plug it into my computer?
Todd – read all these reviews! Pretty much sounds like this is a ripoff. I would waste my money or risk messing up my TV or computer.
Thank your for your reviews, I saw the “late-nite” advertisement, which should have been my first clue, but i was considering purchasing the product because I am tired of paying for Time Warner & have not yet been able to find a viable option w/either DISH or DIRECT TV. Good Luck to all who have purchased & thank you for your honesty!
I bought a flexhose instead & it works great.
Touche’ John.
All of the stations offered by Rabbit TV can easily be found by doing a few internet searches. I can see no reason to buy this product.
I bought the Rabbit TV USB, It doesn’t work. How do I get my money back? send me mail how……
CONTACT YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ASAP. THAT WILL GET THEEIR ATTENTION. Lots of scam reports on the web for rabbittv.
This is a scam! I ordered one which was $10 dollars plus postage . I just received it along with the bill $67.12!!! They added on a six year warranty for $45. I called them and they REFUSED to take the charge off. It says on the bill satisfaction guaranteed. This is bull. Don’t fall for this.
I agree with a few of the reviewers; this product probably requires a high band-with connection.
Sadly, I cannot comprehend many of the comments due to the lack of use of any standard grammar or vocabulary. Please go back to school and get a GED.
The term is “bandwidth”. You should not call another individual’s education into consideration prior to educating yourself on the terminology you wish to use. Do not call into question someone’s grammar when you improperly use a semi-colon in your first sentence. You should have used a period and begun a new sentence as protocol teaches.
Could it be that you need to take your own advice and return to school and obtain your own GED?
Thank you Manny! We are just writing reviews not a freakin thesis statement John! “band-with” hahahahahah
He probably misspelled his own first name, too.
HaHaHa! John. What a Moron! I bet he then proceeded to buy a hundred Rabbit TV’s. One for each channel he planned to watch. The idiot probably has a degree in something. He just thought he was educated. But we can all tell he is marginally literate.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! TOTAL SCAM!!! I wish I had looked it up first and not spend $10.00
Wow!!! Don’t need rabbit, hulu, netflix, etc. I can just read the reviews and LMAO!! This is great!!
Wow!!! Don’t need rabbit, hulu, netflix, etc. I can just read the reviews and LMAO!! This is great!!
First of all this did NOT work at all!! You cannot watch any ‘live’ television as they claim. It simply takes you to a network or affiliate website which I can do for zero at any time. Their customer service is in India and their 100% guarantee is worthless. I sent the product back for a refund and I am still waiting months later.
So why not list that website so no one else will bother ordering the damn thing?
http://www.rabbittv.com is the website to avoid
THANX!
What a worthless experience. The support does not respond to mail, and the chat people just recite what is online to get set up. This is much crazier to get set up with than any online viewing experience I have ever had. Unless you are a tech guru, then beware it might not be as easy as they claim.
First of all this thing is complete crap. I too should have read the reviews but I figured “eh its 10 bucks. It could be cool easy access in one spot to all the free TV stuff out there. Ive had good experiences with quite a few other as seen on TV products.” The very second I finished installing it, before I even had time to type my name in the registration, I had a Trojan Virus alert from McAfee. WTF SERIOUSLY? Literally the very second. I had not clicked on anything other than install, therefore I was immediately linked to something with a virus, or the damn thing came with a virus. In either case I am beyond Livid. I dont care that the virus was caught. Aside from the fact that distribution of virus’ is completely illegal. Therefore I plan to pursue legal action against the TeleBrands company.
DONT BUY THIS P.O.S.
The customer service website isn’t even a trusted source. What in the Hell is that? Don’t even go to the site. Just eat the cost if you already bought it. I assure you that it will end up costing you much more in the long run. I will pursue this via the telephone.
I was very disappointed in the RabbitTV, I tried to install it and it wouldn’t take it, then when I tried to pull it out of my computer it fell apart, so much for such a wonderful gadget. I should have just flushed my ten dollars down the toilet, because that’s where the Rabbit Tv belongs…..I’m so upset, and feel so stupid for falling for such a gimmick.
First of all I should have read reviews first, that was my first mistake. Second mistake was even buying it, third mistake was trying to get live support. I believe it is just a 10 dollar scam, also online chat was trying to get me to change all my settings on my computer…why? I guess to set me up for virus. They told me to turn off firewall…yea right!!! I told them NO I wasn’t turning it off. Guess what!!! live chat disconnected my chat, which I thought was very professional. This Rabbit TV and all people involved are jokes. DO NOT GET SUCKERED LIKE I DID. 10 BUCKS FOR MILLION CHANNELS…YEAH RIGHT….DON’T DO IT. Next thing we will see on tv is a big name lawyer filing a lawsuit action against this company…
Seen the commercials for this RabbitTv and bought one from a local Walgreens for $9.99, ordering from the TV ad is a rip off they get you on the seperate P/H, I figured for 10 bucks ill try it , and to my surprise it WORKS! and actually very good, there is some ad’s built it to the movie’s, but its works great, I watched a movie on xfinity and hulu using this, it seems to have links to alot a decent amount of content. I’m using ATT wireless internet and a Alienware m15x laptop with window’s 7, the picture quality is good too, there is even a option for 480p on most movies, the is a decent amount of movie’s mostly old one’s, there is a “premium” movie section also it links you to amazon where you can buy movie’s, it has alot of Network TV series and back episodes there all free, I’ve been using this now for 2 weeks no problems yet. My only real complaint is the usb itself was really tight and I didn’t want to damage the usb port in my laptop so I just picked up a belkin usb 3 port hub work’s fine. For the price of this RabbitTV I thinks it pretty good, save’s me the time looking for all the link’s online to watch this stuff. I would not recommend using this with a tablet or an older PC though.
One question, Do you work for rabbit tv, or get a kick back from the company who makes this P.O.S,? It seems your reply is the only one of the two to three POSITIVE comments. Please share your secret method of getting the people an opportunity of watching this device actually work!!!
Bravo… Happy to hear another Happy Customer (1 above). I am SERIOUSLY debating on whether to get this or not.
Some of these negative reviews are soooo silly… its a hoot. But alot to take into consideration. 32 byte vs 64. Windows Vista vs Windows 7/8. I feel I understand about dial up vs High Speed, (no brainer). And…… if everything is pretty much older, dont have to worry about HD.
If everything works, its worth the 10$ a year to have the guide. Ive tried Hulu, am a current subscriber to Netflix (movies only, no streaming), and am SICK of “real” tv… far too many commercials.
Thank You for your positive review.
Lawmaiden
Why buy this for over 5 yrs. There have been computer programs that were free that did this same thing. Have you guys ever heard of livestream? They have a monster channel, horror channel a drive in movie channel just search the site.
Not worth 1 cent. Especially if you live in Canada. The only thing you’ll see is a message like: “This program is not available in your geographic location.”
Thank you Tom. I am Canadian and was considering it but now will investigate further.
The Rabbit TV is junk…. The USB fits so poorly I am sure it would ruin the plugs in VERY short order. When I did manage to force it in place it did nothing but throw error. The error option to continue did exactly that, it continued to do nothing. SO I went to the website, tried their download, again failure (error, make sure browser is set) and the error pop up refuses to be closed, in fact the error box just kept breading like a rabbit. Live chat was no better. SCAM!!!
I bought Rabbit and it doesn’t work, it will not accept the log on and doesn’t boot up, it’s a fake.
SCAM ! Beware !!! I did everything I was Prompted to do and the Result was a BLANK WHITE SCREEN ! Nothing else.
Why can’t I use this with my tablet
My husband purchased 2 devices…It was installed on his computer okay and worked but on mine we are getting the loop and the support is not support … it gives canned answers like from a computer. Online chat is basically the same thing and it disconnects you. My impression it is a scam and not worth the hassle. We are returning our devices. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Why pay for a device when you can do a search and get the same channels without buying any equipment or paying anyone anything? There are plenty of free sites out there that provide links to free internet TV. Just a bit of caution, though. Make sure the site you choose is reputable or you might be exposing yourself to a virus. People who try to sell you devices or services to get channels you can get for free are usually not reputable. If there’s a particular station I want to watch, I look it up by the call letters and if they provide online programming, I access it directly from the site. Reputable feeds don’t require any special software other than a standard media player, i.e. Windows Media Player or iTunes. If you’ve got any software that plays standard videos, it’s capable of playing any reputable free internet TV station. Some have links to free TV stations, which makes it a bit easier than search and find. You can even find some of the standard pay TV stations on the internet, but you still need to pay a subscription for them.
This is a piece of garbage! it does not work and trying to get help on their “so called help” site is a joke. Wish I would have read all the other reviews before I wasted my money. I will be returning this to Walmart! I finally got the rabbit icon to show up but when i click start it doesn’t do a thing. 100% garbage!
I got Rabbit TV USB, it dose not work, they send you to http://www.rabbittvsupport.com and it ask for company name and password — not verification code and it just dose not go. It ask for even more money. It is all add to get your money or to get you to spend more good money to get free stuff that dose not work or just more worthless garbage.
I have Rabbit TV, it worked for one day…….. and now I need to speak to customer serv about this matter not a recording.
I reside in Colorado springs, Colorado, and I received the rabbit tv USB in the mail on Wed March 6, 2013. Plug it into my computer usb port, and then double click on the rabbit tv icon. it booted up and I entered the verification code, and I skip the yearly or 2yr or 5 yr fee for now. I just wanted to see if it works, and I must say it works good. My computer is running Windows Vista, 4gb ram, and a quad processor. My Internet is a 7mb bandwidth. Once in awhile the show that is playing does jitter a little but for the most part it works as they said. I guess if I up my Internet bandwidth to 12mb the show jitters may go away completely. I will keep testing it over the coming days and then write another review if it fails.
John
I live in Colorado up North I heard from a friend about Rabbit TV. Cable is just to much anymore, so my question is, is rabbit tv still working for you I have Comcast Internet and the plan that I have right now is a bundle package and it is going away on the 13th of April so thinking that I might give this a try if you are still using your rabbit tv and it works great. Please email an answer.
Thank you
Marcee
Hello Marcee, Yes the rabbit USB is still working, and I live in the Soaring Eagle community off of Powers Blvd and Hancock.
Most of the reviews are negative—yours is not. I would want this to watch some sporting events that I cant get because I travel alot. Will this work with a Wi-Fi connection?
Hello Michael
It will work with a WI-fi connection. I have use this usb on my desktop (hardwired) and my laptop (wireless) in my house. I am looking at the live NBA game between the Miami HEAT and NY knicks which is on TNT as I am typing this. Some of the free live sports event I can’t get because my television or Internet provider is not on a listing of providers. For instance I have directv and century link but comcast infinity is on the list and many more providers. Also it does come with sports packages that you pay for like the NBA pass, MLB, Nascar and some others. I hope this help you
Marcee, if you ever want to see for yourself that my USB rabbit works just let me know and I will show you. I will meet you at any public place of your choosing.
I purchased 2 rabbit TV units at a local store in my area last night, it said all you have to have is a high speed internet connection and you could plug the USB stick into your computer and it would stream 5000 television shows 25,000 movies and 50,000 radio channels….hahaha NOT!
All it did was went to the start Rabbit TV screen and tried to load and load and load and load only to come up with retry over and over again, it never worked whatsoever! I am going to have to ask my daughter if the one I bought for her worked or not, if you ask me its a big waste of money and junk and anyone thinking about buying it DON’T!!! You will regret it! I am glad I saved my receipt because I am taking this piece of junk back to the store today, explaining its defective and asking for my entire purchase price back! Its sad that these companies scam people, and the one’s it hits worst are the middle to low income that are trying to purchase something like this to save money when in the end all it did was waste money! ITS JUNK DO NOT BUY IT!!! Thank you!
Another fact about the rip off Rabbit TV
If you read the package it says there will never be a charge, it is not free after a year, it is either $10 a year or $9 for 5 years, well duh I would do the 5 year plan, if the stupid thing worked in the first place and if I remember correctly, isn’t packaging the states its free yet when you open the box and read the fine print its actually not free isn’t that false advertising? Just sayin!
SCAM!!! Yes this is a scam if you don”t reed all the info on the install program how to log on and log off.
SCAM!
Rabbit tv is a scam. First time log-in said wrong password, reset password by email still wrong. Can’t log in after hours or updates on a PC that was 100% updated before rabbit tv. Says I dont have media player, It do make me update internet explorer to IE 10, install java that homeland security warns about, then still can’t log-in after all that. My PC is very new Windows 7 HP with Blueray and HDMI, won’t read the Rabbit usb device so I can’t open software to try to log-in. After all that to talk to someone cost $10 for 10 min. What a rip off, I want my money back.
PS: I use to build PCs from scratch I am not stupid.
You “built PC’s from scratch” but don’t know if you have Media Player. Many applications run from the latest JRE, homeland security warning or no.
james…..
Matthew gough SAID: “the Rabbit TV said he did not have Media Player…
He did not say HE didn’t know if he had Media Player…

Project free tv off google worked better for me don’t download anything just stream… Watched all SOA, weeds, boardwalk empire, breaking bad, had all shows and movies and all seasons love it.
If you are lazy, this is for you. Google can find any of links. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_XPoj6ZCxU here is my video review.
The Rabbit TV has old movies, no new channels. When you try to watch a movie or tv show, it doesn’t load up, it plays for 2 seconds then stops.. What a scam these people should be a shame of them self’s.
You people are a scam, it works fine for me. If you have crap internet speeds like the cheapest speed guess what its not gonna work well. I tested it with ATTS fastest speed works freaking awesome no problems. Used it on their cheapest speed man it sucks serious ass.
THE BELOW 5 SENTENCE PARAGRAPH IS OFF THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE. DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE AN IMMEDIATE CONTRADICTION HERE? Are there any monthly fees?
“There are no monthly fees with Rabbit TV. Rabbit TV only costs $10, and if you want to keep using it after a year, it’s $10 a year from then on. If you don’t want to continue your Rabbit TV subscription, you can cancel at any time – no hoops to jump through, no hidden fees, no tricks.”
It’s not a contradiction, there are no MONTHLY fee, a yearly fee is different.
Do not buy this I tried installing it twice and all I got was Trojan downloader detected. Want my money back. Totally dissatisfied! Tried on to different computers with same results…. It sucks cuz it don’t work !~!!!!
Went to Walmart to get a Roku saw this Rabbit-TV for 10 and figured why not the Roku they had in stock was 78 and i still would have had to order hulu plus to get what I want. Spent over an hour trying to get it to work another hour waiting on customer service live chat after having me try a few things that didn’t help I was told to come back later “cuz” the technician was working on the problem. While waiting I found this website and the only thing I am doing is taking this back to Walmart asap.
Get a Roku 2 And add Play-on to it. You get to sad channels and Hulu and Hulu plus for free. We love ours.
Hulu plus will only be free on Roku for 1 or 2 weeks then it starts to charge you. We have 3 roku’s in our home, and we love them.
Hmmm… after reading reviews .. seems a lot of people are just saying what they “THINK” not “KNOW” about the product. My Place of work Sells them in store for $9.99, so no S&H fees. I’m buying one tomorrow Morning before I come home and I will review the device and post a follow up. Way I see it, if its good I will keep it, if not ill return it and nothing lost. Cheers =D
As I said I did buy one of these, this morning. Ive been on it about 2 hours now. It does have very good things about and some disappointments. Pro : It does take you to web sights to watch Eps, But the good point to that is that I don’t have 250 + Favorites on my Browser to go watch things. Con: You can only watch the listed stuff on the sight that ill cover more later. The Show list on it is really good but at times its only clips of shows .. I was really disappointed over that. If its going to be called Rabbit “TV” there should be at least one full EP to watch. It is very True that you can go watch about every Show on here for free on different sights, but one thing I liked is that I didn’t know you could watch alot of them via internet ( before anyone says DAAA SEARCH ENGINES ) if you go to google or Bing you have to most likely go through sight after sight to actually find one that has Eps on the show you can watch. This gives you a list just by logging in, witch is a Plus to the unit. The only thing I really hate about it is it should at least tell you if its Clips or EPS of the show or series. SO far im giving it a 50/50 rating but for 10 bucks for a year.. ill keep it and still not buy cable for 80 a month to only watch two channels. 10 bucks a year is reasonable for the service IMO but I believe its already 15.00 a year to renew according to the sight after sign up. The back of the Package says ” 10 dollars a year after first year” but the sight says 15 .. who knows what that might become. It has its Ups and Downs like anything you buy anymore. It does have a lot of Children’s and EDU programs on it though for My daughter to watch (one reason I am keeping it) Over All it does seem to be worth 10 bucks to startup for a year. I wish they would have done a lil more with it but to not buy cable for month its worth it. so I say right now its a 50-50 don’t expect to plug it in and start watching the Game tonight in your area or the new eps of the walking dead or falling skies but there is a lot of content.
You’re a Liar! Every thing negative about this is the truth. I am sure you work for them.
He’s a liar? Where in the review did you get any other impression than it has a 50/50 mix of pros and cons. Maybe you need some practice on reading comprehension and stop bashing people for their candid reviews.
This is a SCAM, Called customer support because I loaded it worked twice, logged out twice, now it says I am logged in on another computer, II have only one. Called Customer Support and was told it is a “KNOWN” defect. I asked three times to make sure his Indian accent was very strong. He was apologetic and said to return it to Walmart for a new one.
Why should we beta test? I am so glad I did not sign up for the online extra years because I am sure it would be difficult to get the dough back, since it took two days to reach tech support.
Do not buy this I tried installing it twice and all I got was Trojan downloader detected. Want my money back. Totally dissatisfied!
what you have? Norton XD
BBBBOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought this POS for 16 bucks. All it does is take you to different websites. It doesn’t even take the time to search the web for full episodes, it’s just programmed to go to a single site and show you what’s available there. Take the Simpsons for instance. If you want to watch the simpsons on Rabbit tv, you can watch 5 episodes because it just automatically takes you to fox.com and ONLY fox.com. well…. you can go to wtso.org and watch all 23 freakin seasons!! but not on Rabbit TV.. Take my advice and just google what you want to watch, cause you get more options and more episodes. Don’t waste your money on something google can do SSSOOOOO MUCH better.
After reading so many negative reviews I have changed my mind on ordering it. I was about to order, since I could not find anyone who had one, but now I see it was lucky I did not order it. Maybe at a later date when reviews are positive at 95% I’ll reconsider getting rabbit TV.
I knew for $10 sounded to good.
I hate to say it but yes
its a scam….
like my face book page for a real value.
The Original Sholster/ facebook
wear it like a gun holster….
There are packages that come attached to the Rabbit TV. If you cannot load your USB then they have a customer service number that you can call at $1.00 per minute. 10 minutes is the amount of time that the customer service will hold you on the line to service you ($10.00) the maximum is $30.00 (full service). Also you must pay for premium channels. I loaded the Rabbit TV in my hard drive – installed, then made it my icon on my desktop and that was the end of my service. I sent out many service tickets with no resolution in sight. I was not able to verify, login or register my Rabbit TV. What a disappointment.
Something must be wrong with the people that cannot get it going. It was simple for the 3 I got. They work great. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks for a great (cheap) product. I will buy the stock if it goes public.
Obvious shill you are. Everyone see’s rabbit tv is a SCAM.
I opened the package..first thing I thought when I saw this..it was a flash drive with doubtful expectations..I saw this thing on TV in Indianapolis. I tried to install…and could not connect…then tried it again…then it would not take the special numbers…tried to live chat..and they dumped me into some type of a mail complaint bag…never heard, never could make contact…I will try calling on Monday…I think from what I read above..I have been scammed..
I ordered this RABBIT TV at 12:22am from a TV commercial, did not speak to any customer representative…and after trying to cancel it after finding out I needed cable service to be able to use it (and I don’t have cable or internet… I have a radio shack RCA flat antenna and I get free TV), and after finding out it wasn’t for the TV, but for my laptop I wanted to cancel it!!
I immediately called my bank and they said I could just cancel my Visa debit card, which would not affect my bank account, and I would receive a new card in 7 – 10 days. YAY!!
The bank (Wells Fargo … I love them) said the transaction had not gone through in the 20 minute interval after hanging up with the automated RABBIT TV answering/ordering machine. THEY NOW CANNOT CHARGE MY VISA DEBIT CARD AND THANK GOD! I CAN NOW SLEEP TONIGHT.
I wish everyone the best of luck getting their money back…and it is easy to cancel that debit card if the transaction has NOT gone through yet…I’m sure it would have gone through in the morning.
I suggest just getting an antenna from RADIO SHACK, you get ABC, CBS and an assortment of other TV shows, cooking shows, and music stations…including rock and roll and country video’s. YOU CAN ALWAYS WATCH WHATEVER YOU WANT OFF YOUR LAPTOP (I have WiFi hotspot with my smartphone) and not have to pay for anything! GOOD LUCK.
How about reading where it says, “You are required to have wireless internet”. I have a Comcast / Xfinity Wireless Gateway Modem. It handles my phone, interenet, & sends wireless signal to my Poloroid 10.1″ Android Tablet. I only have met one person who get channels from one of those digital boxes with an indoor digital TV antenna. She lives in Dayton, Ohio in a high rise building, on the “28th Floor”. Have a good weekend.
I just got the rabbit tv going to try it, but if it doesn’t work will simply take it back. I live out in the country, in a farm house, in VA and I have a converter box with an inside antenna, and we get 14 different channels, free
Its not going to work for you. You MUST have internet service for it to work.
I happen to have the digital antenna. I live up in the mtns of NC where we only have 1 internet service provider & 2 cell phone providers. Reception is just that bad in the mtns. My digital antenna picks up 28 clear as a bell channels including local channels, music channels, history channel, UNC-TV (all 3 of those), and well some channels that only some of us old folks enjoy with the older westerns, Mr. Ed, Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy,…etc. So coming from one who is NOT in a high rise, but nestled in by big huge trees and mountains…. I love my digital antenna and ITS TOTALLY FREE! Not even going to try the rabbit. I have Netflix for watching on my laptop and a few other free TV channels too.
We also have a converter box and flat digital antenna, works great. On our sailboat – that would be a sea level in case you’re wondering.
You wouldn’t be able to sleep if you lost $10 bucks?
We received our Rabbit USB sticks today in the mail, and unfortunately they wont initialize the application. I couldn’t get past “start”. I plugged in the other one and it said a virus was detected and shut down my computer. I tried again and it said couldn’t find program or file to initiate application. So we don’t know what to do about it. I called customer service and he told me to go online and “live chat” with a rep, there isn’t a link for a live chat that I could find on the page. I am not pleased so far.
You are not the only one who is not pleased. The service is horrible, and all they do is keep sending you to linking sites which do not help at all. Then they have the nerve to show you a YouTube video to make you feel incompetent as they have defective USBs. They don’t load, they don’t connect, you can’t login, verify and then they ask for a user-id and password which you can’t even get to. For $17.00 I AM DONE! I’ll keep looking with caution. I learned a lesson.
Turn off your antivirus “real time detection” its an EXE file so it wont open the file.. or get a real antivirus .. Mine did not tell me any warnings or anything about the Rabbit TV USB sick. i use ESET NOD32 ive had a lot of antivirus progs this one finds more and dont say everything is a virus =D and i DIDNT turn off my real time detection.
Turning off your antivirus “real time detection” is very risky and some scammers convince you to download what you think are antivirus scanners, when in all actuality, they contain viruses. I wouldn’t take the risk of following JDK’s suggestions. Either he is uninformed, doesn’t care about the risks, or is trying to convince you to go to a site that will give you a virus.
Thanks to all the people who left feedback here. If it sounds to good to be true ……You all save me some money. I think I may follow what my son in law sez : Attach HDMI to PC & TV and watch.
Rabbit tv sucks. You can get all they offer for free on the internet.
You are right. You can get the same thing now on the internet. Wasted money.
THEY WON’T EVEN PROCESS YOUR ORDER IF YOU DON’T CHOOSE TO BUY ALL THE WORTHLESS EXTRAS THEY BOMBARD YOU WITH. ESP THE YEARLY FEES TO GET SO-CALLED PREMIUM RABBIT! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? A RABBIT WEARING A FOX-HAIR COAT? THEY ARE PROBABLY JUST FASCIST SCAMMERS FROM CHECHNYA.
wake up! they are not from anywhere else other than your so called fellow Americans. Aren’t American scam each other?
They ask you the credit card # before you know how much is the bill, rabbit TV is a bad company. The cost of $10.00 became $51.32 and you can not talk with nobody, I called my bank and I started a dispute.
This company will go public soon and they will take their cash and close operations.
Will not install, no window opens, no run. cannot locate it. There is a sound when plugged in or un-plugged, but that is it, nada, nothing after that! what next?
Terrill Gray
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH THEM FOR HOURS, WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM YET. I called and called and Nothing.
Their customer service sucks, but after waiting on the line for a while you can actually get hold of someone. However, I canceled my order when I first placed it and it was never canceled. They hit my account for $151.00 and I called to tell them about it and get my money back. Months later! They said I had to refuse the package and then they would refund my money. We will see how this turns out. Didn’t contact to get a tracking number so I can find out when it delivers so I can refuse it.
Definitely plan to get my money back. Rabbit TV is a rip off.
And the customer service number is 855 235 2084.
Please, if you are paying by using your debit card, CANCEL IT..the bank will send you another one in approximately a week, and it will not affect your checking or savings account at all.
Rabbit TV very well may keep charging you until you do this.
KJ.
Just like the rest it uses up your internet access….Even unlimited has it’s limits….So just like the rest you are stuck worrying about how much of a strain you are putting on your ISP…I am with Comcast and they simply drop you if you ever exceed their unlimited account they offer..or you could get a business account and pay more……It’s not worth it..you pay 10.00 but it completely relies on your internet account….
No, I do not think that any of the idiots here have actually tried the thing. How can you post a “review” when you have never even tried it! The only scam here is these fake reviewers..
I agree. It was simple for me.
Everyone sees that you 2 guys are SHILL’S for Rabbit Tv! You’re not only scammer’s but BAD at being undetected as “company” SHILL’S!
No, I haven’t tried it, but the vast majority of those giving it negative reviews say they have tried it and there are enough negative reviews to indicate that it’s not just one malicious person or one malicious company. You can get the same channels without any special devices. It may be worth the $10 to get a device that has links to ALL these stations AND programming information, but given the reviews, it’s not worth the risk.
I think that the people are smarter than you and I hope that they won’t listen to you, I did not have to try it, it’s when I order I agree to pay only $20.00 but they charged me $52.00 I returned it, and now it’s my bank’s job to dispute the charge. After that I made my own research and find that all those channels are free without pay to a bad Rabbit Co. “Rabbit stands to rub you”
As far as the Rabbit TV, whoever wrote this article had an obvious investment in the company somehow. This is a simple age old scam that doesn’t deliver on its promises. The USB “interface” as it is called is a simple flash drive. Nothing more and nothing less. Installed on this flash drive are links to the TV sites you can already access over the regular internet. Rabbit TV offers you nothing new or different and the USB is a deceptive tool to mislead you into believing its some kind of miracle technology or a TV tuner for your computer. Sadly its just a flash drive loaded with a scam to bilk you out of your money.
Has anyone on here ever actually tried this product, or is it simply opinions?
I agree with Brian,since I got this I have found that Its no better than the tv shows that r already available on the internet,free!Lucky it was only $10 I’m out of.Lesson learned.
I actually tried it and I like it. It only cost me 10 bucks and it has a nice interface to it that collects links from free TV sites throughout the web. I have limited time and although the content might be available elsewhere, I’ll gladly pay 10 bucks a year to use this nice service. Oh yeah and they update the links for you. It doesn’t bother me one bit that its not like watching a TV station. There is plenty to watch and there are even free movies. I find it worth it to pay for the convenience of having thousands of TV stations and radio stations neatly organized.
Rabbit TV is NOT a Scam, but please realize you are not going to get to watch free pay per view or other premium content for free. If you just want to find some nice old TV shows, movies and radio stations in one neat interface for a low price then you will like this.
I would think that a flash drive with links to 2000 + tv channels would be worth $ 10.. can’t imagine how much time it would take us ” plumber joe’s ” to acquire that much info on our own.
That is true, Rabbit TV is just a flash drive pre-loaded with links. But it does have its place. Like if you didn’t know all the links on the web or you didn’t what to fill your “favorites tab” up with links you use the most. Than this could be useful.
Anyone who buys this gets what they deserve. This Rabbit TV USB is meant for the Charlie Browns in this world who, no matter what, think they are getting something for nothing. Go ahead and buy it, Charlie! You know who you are.
Did you ever try it????
I like how you say the “charlie Browns” and your name is Browne .. so you thought you’d get something for nothing? is that why your upset?
Did not have to.
I was frustrated and angered by this phoney offering and think it is a rip off to gain postage and handling fees that are exorbitant. The USB port could be mailed with USPS for less than $2 to Hawaii, yet they charge an Extra $10 fee on top of their already exorbitant $10 fee for this junk. Hawaii is part of the USA but marketers like Rabbit TV treat us like we belong to the third world. I would encourage anybody to boycott this product because of the unfair way they treat the residents of Hawaii and Alaska and of course our Territories like Guam,Am. Samoa, Puerto Rico, VI, etc. The USPS sends mail at the same rate, but not these guys!
You’re all IDIOTS
Hey Daff, include your self.
Everything is more expensive to ship to Hawaii because it takes more than a truck to get there. Don’t all HI residents realize that?
Hawaii residents know more about it than you do ‘me’. First class mail (up to 13 ounces) is not a zoned rate, this means it costs exactly the same to ship to Hawaii or Alaska as to the house next door. Flat rate Priority is exactly that, if it fits it ships anywhere in the USA for the same price. FedEx and UPS are much higher cost than USPS out of the lower 48 which is why reputable retailers don’t use them for those states. As Donald says it is a rip off, but from the sound of it, so is the whole Rabbit deal.
Hey Hawaii. You aren’t special! These companies make money on processing and handing (aka shipping and handling, s&h, p&h, rape, etc). We in the forty-8 get overcharged for this “fee” also. That is why they always charge the full P&H for each product. A reputable company wants your REPEATED business, so they do what they can to lower or eliminate P&H.
Read this f’or only $8.99 + p&h!’: I just visited the Rabbit TV site. Apparently Hawaii and Alaska are special. The price of the item is now $10. The rest of the 48 states get to pay $6.99 for shipping and handling, while Hawaii and Alaska get to pay the SPECIAL shipping and handling price of… (wait for it)… $16.99. It would be nice if they weren’t treated so ‘special’ by companies who could have easily have shipped items to both states via USPS (I mean if they really wanted to keep the prices down for their customers on such items).
I paid online for rabbit tv, now one week, still haven’t received it. I paid for delivery but nothing is going on.
You were stupid enough to pay actual money for this?
You need to return it if you do get it. If it does not come soon I would call your credit card company and try and cancel it. The Rabbit TV is a total rip off.
Wow, an entire week with nothing… and the adv clearly states 2-6 weeks foe delivery.
I wish I could decide which reviews are accurate, since there are conflicting reports here. I would really like to drop my cable service, but I don’t want to waste money on a worthless product that doesn’t show me anything I can’t get online already!
Ha! Since grammar and spelling seem to be as important here as the Rabbit TV reviews, I’ll throw in my grammar gripe: The new thing of leaving off the “s” on the end of a plural word (as in “I bought 4 new chair at the furniture store”) or, even worse, leaving off the ‘s on the end of a possessive word (such as the “my baby daddy” ebonics fiasco)! Ouch!!
Hi Dixie, Just my two cents, if you are indecisive of getting the rabbit usb, I would suggest getting the Roku Box. This was given away on the Steve Harvey show last week for cool gifts for the man:-). I read some of the reviews, majority of them were good reviews a few of the same complaints such as more movie choices or wanting to see local channels. I ordered mine and just waiting to see for myself but other than that I was more interested in getting the Roku then the Rabbit. I saw the Rabbit USB commercial and it just seemed to good to be true.
I could be wrong, but at least with the Roku you can go the BBB website and see it has an A+ rating.
Happy Holidays to you.
Grammar lesson? You are in the wrong section dude.
Please visit this site for REAL FREE television freetvall.com/videos/4/United-States/most_recent/all_time/
for my fellow Americans it is REAL….myself and my husband watch it all the time and we love it! ESPN, ESPN 2, HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Lifetime and many more…One of my favorites is TRU tv! Do not waste your money buying television!
I have no idea why it separated my words….sorry
P.S. even though it has a download up there you do not have to download anything….
People don’t go to this website, I went to it because I thought for once in my life that there might exist people who are not sick from their head and actually state something true that might help save money, but the website Ruby suggested is nothing but a sick lie and takes you to a porn website.
I think I am tormented for life.
You must have a virus on your computer because that website works fine and there are many more out there I use several sites and haven’t paid for cable in over 2 years and always have something to watch.
To me, it’s not worth the risk to find out who’s telling the truth on the recommended site. Go only to sites you know are trustworthy.
Dear Dixie!
I APPLAUD YOU!!
Dear Dixie!
Hey Dixie, better safe than sorry, I wouldn’t get the rabbit TV. I never tried the rabbit TV thing so I don’t know anything about it but if you have a PC, laptop and access to the internet you can actually watch real tv shows and new & old movies for free. This is no joke, it’s real I have it. Just go to xbmchub.com on this website they show you step by step how to set this up on your pc absolutely free. It’s easy and it really works. It’s perfectly legal and free. Direct TV and dish network and all the cable providers don’t want people to know about this. I got fed up with my satellite carrier for ripping me off. I just saw Alex cross, Skyfall, breaking dawn 2, so many more movies and TV shows. I know it sounds too good to be true but I tried it and it works. Wow. It works for Microsoft PCs and Macs.
That’s American English you say whatever you want. Not that fool England poop!
Let’s get immediately to the bottom line – Don’t waste your hard-earned $$$ on Rabbit TV.
Rabbit TV will NOT get you anything you can’t already get yourself, for FREE. How do we KNOW you can get the same result for free? Because you’re reading this on the internet, and that’s ALL Rabbit TV is giving you, internet results.
You probably seen other such ‘ads’ (scams) on the ‘net. “Free Internet TV only $49! Order NOW!” or similar such ads. The ONLY thing ANY of these scams are providing for your hard-earned dollars is a list of internet sites that have streaming TV. The author has used a cheap software program to give you a list of TV sites. Which you can obtain for FREE using Google, Bing, Dogpile, or something similar.
Rabbit TV is the same garbage, except they’ve packaged it in a little USB flash drive so you THINK you’re getting some sort of ‘antenna’ to pick up hundreds of ‘new’ TV stations via your computer.
Yes, there ARE thousands of streaming TV stations on the internet. But MOST of them are of NO interest to you. Hundreds will be in languages you don’t comprehend and/or don’t care about. Even more will be some lonely, desperate sole that runs a 24/7 camera of him/her sitting at her desk complaining how terrible their life is. Even more will be so poorly streaming you’ll become thoroughly frustrated attempting to watch a show.
You will NOT be able to watch MTV, ESPN, movies-on-demand, etc. with Rabbit TV. These satellite signals are encoded, and Rabbit TV does NOT decode them. That little USB drive is NOT, repeat NOT, an antenna. It’s cheap software that just gives you a “Google” results list of internet streaming TV.
There ARE sites out there which will stream TV that you DO want to watch. But you DON’T need Rabbit TV to find and watch them.
Just use your favorite search engine, be discerning in your search criteria, and you’ll be able to locate shows of your interest to watch.
For FREE.
thanks for the in depth info. Jay
Thankyou jay. You just saved me some money!!!
Thanks for the information…really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the info!!!! I had no idea I could watch everything anyway. I was looking for what the “annual license fee” , but still haven’t found it. But I found your review instead so now I don’t need to know!! Thank you so much again!!!!!
Justin, thank you very much, I was just about order it!!
–
Wence
You are wrong. Just like the kid at Best Buy, he said all you gotta do is google it and it is simple. Nonsense. I have tried for hours and all my efforts result in failure of frozen screens, etc. Bullshit! I know that Rabbit tv isn’t the answer, but neither are the “solutions” that you dumb*** geeks recommend.
Ha ha ha, several comments on use of the English language are right on target; however, let us all keep in mind that nobody ever “accused” Americans of speaking (or writing) proper English eh? he he he.
In general, I’d advise staying far away from anything that Telebrands sells. Their checkout pages are deceptive and their product descriptions are, at best, lacking in the accuracy department.
I am simply looking into the product if its anything like magic jack then its well worth the time money and effort. i dont even want to hear from any of you who haven’t tried the darn thing!
If Rabbit TV USB is anything like Magic Jack it is a total rip-off. Yeah, when Magic Jack was first introduced it was everything it claimed to be but started @ 6 months ago and now when you attempt to make a lot of local calls you get recorded message saying, “In order to make conference or platform calls – go to website and purchase pre-paid minutes”. Visit BBB and you will see complaints AND, if you read the reviews on MagicJack you will see that it will become class action law suit against MagicJack. MagicJack is NOT what it was in the beginning and IS a total rip-off. Especially true that my sub is pre-paid thru Sept., 2015 and can’t even call neighbor just across street.
Jim above is totally wrong about Majicjack. I’ve had it for 5 years and love it. I get free long distance in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, for $19.95 per “YEAR”. and it works great. The only downside is that you have to put in the area code on all phone numbers, even the local one’s! Great service for the money!
I agree. I’ve had it for 4 years and it works and sounds better than the free house phone I got with my cable service. I would recommend manic jack 110%!
Jim is totally wrong about Magic Jack.
I`ve had it for about 3 years now, and it works great as long as your internet connection is fast enough. I have basic DSL and I have had only minor problems the whole time I have had it, such as static in the line, which I later determined was my phone cable. I even took it with me on a trip to Colorado a couple of years ago. I was in the top of the mountains above Alma, at 13,000 ft and as long as I got my internet connection, I could use the magic jack.
I like it so much and it saves me alot of $$, that is why I am looking into this Rabbit TV now, and I really only am looking for opinions from people who have actually tried the Rabbit TV, other opinions are just hot air!!
Considering the fact that I’ve had Majic Jack since it first was introduced, some 7 years or so ago, I think “Jim” must either not have a CLUE what VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service is or expect an Internet phone to work love a Verizon Landline with Free Long Distance.
The service works like Skype. biggest difference is that it’ll work with 4G Internet “hotspots”, where Skype REQUIRES broadband service to run. I use the Majic Jack unit, and the iPhone/iPad app (which is free and a great way to see how the service works), and now, though I have and pay for the service every year, I use the app on my iPad as my phone. Even in mediocre internet service areas, the service works fine (of course, 4-5 “bars” is the clearest).
If this unit makes it simpler/easier for you to search the plethora of Internet TV sites out there on the web, without taking the chance of going to a hack site which installs a virus as soon as you go to it, then that little $10-17 is well spent, in my opinion. Considering the fact that my job involves Internet security and computing services, and I’ve been working with computing systems since microcomputers were first introduced, my opinion shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Typos are due to an auto-correcting tablet, not illiteracy.
Magic Jack has been AWESOME for over 3 years for my family. The cost is next to NOTHING. try to get a phone line from your local cable company (part of a bundle, lowest price 15 bucks a month and guess what…they use VOIP!) or your local phone company 9quest, verizon, etc) for what, 45-50 bucks a month plus long distance, federal taxes, etc) and you realize what a ripoff local service is. I can fax. SO WHAT I need to dial 4 extra digits! OMG, use the speed dial contact part of magic jack. I am going to get magic jack plus so that I can plug it into my router thus eliminating the whole – computer must be turned on – thing. As to rabbit TV. This is a ripoff. I can get all of the stations that I want off mu ROKU and coupled with my hi speed internet from Optimum cable and a High Definition antenna on my roof (cost 14 bucks on eBay and FREE cable from the Optimum guy), I get all the local channels in HD. So here is my total cost for phone and TV. One time cost of Magic Jack – 19.99, 5 bucks a month or 80 bucks a year. Hi-Speed internet from Optimum (boost package, I get between 26-30 speed as compared to the MOST 7 from DSL) for 36.99 a month. I paid 20 bucks for my ROKU at a yard sale. I got Netflix for 7.99 a month. So my cost for TV, internet and Phone is 49-50 bucks a month. And oh by the way, I could lower this cost if I wanted to use a internet based phone and get rid of magic jack with a USB headset. Most people don’t even have or will need a land line with cell phones.
Actually I used to have Magic Jack…..I thought it was great at the time but I found out several months later that a lot of my calls were not coming through. It wasn’t ringing and they would leave voice-mail and it wouldn’t give us a notice or even record it. I was missing calls from everyone. They said they had been calling and calling but it would just ring and then go to voice-mail but they said I would never return their calls. They thought I was mad at them, a few friends even stopped by and told me they have been calling and calling but no one would answer but I was home and it was hooked up and I even checked the dial tone……and my college was calling me and it did the same thing so they sent me an email to call them. Turns out they had done the same thing and had called multiple times too. No Magic Jack is NOT as good as they say it is. We even paid for the 5-year membership. We had to go back to a regular phone because Magic Jack was just not dependable. Yes we had high speed internet and double and triple checked to make sure everything was set up ok, talked to customer service, whole nine yards but couldn’t figure out why some calls got through and some calls didn’t. It was VERY frustrating!!!! So we threw it in the garbage where it belonged!!! I’m glad to hear it works for some…but you might want to check in with people you haven’t talked to in a while and see if their calls are getting through!!!!!
Magic Jack is not a rip off. It works fine, I have never had any complaints. You’re just a deuce!
I have had magic jack for over three years. It works great. Bought 3 Rabitt tv jacks and I am super happy. Most of the negative responses are from people that cannot get it to work or won’t buy it. If you haven’t tried it – don’t review it.
I have Magic Jack Plus and it is great for my needs.
Unfortunately you can not do conference calls, So Skype is the alternative.
Also I have ROKU since it first came out, and love it. Check out Roku.com if interested.
I gave up Cable and Phone 2 years ago, best decision ever.
Thanks all for the feedback re:Rabbit TV.
How much is the annual license renewal for rabbit tv? Also, how come it is so difficult to find this out?? If anyone out there knows why, please drop me a line. I’d like to hear from you. dennissnopbody@live.com
Thank you Dennis! I can’t find it either and I thought I was the only one
It costs $150 a year and it is done automatically. They do not tell you the price until AFTER you have submitted all of your credit card info. DO NOT GET RABBIT TV. I am currently working with my bank to get my money back.
Just install XBMC. It’s free and the best thing around. Check the videos for XBMC on Youtube.
I can use a antenna for TV shows, If there is no HBO. I’m not paying a cent for anything. If you know your way around a computer, you can find TV shows. What crap!!
I also refuse to pay for cable or satellite, not only because it costs something, but because it is a scam to collect more taxes.
one thing I don’t understand, the ad clearly says: “Annual License Fee for Device Renews Automatically Unless Canceled.”
But no where does it state what that fee is…. how much is this fee??
I am trying to find out the same thing!
On the video it flashes “$10.00 a year renewal until cancelled”.
STOP BEING CHEAP AND COMPLAINING. SOME OF YOU WASTE MORE MONEY ON FAST FOOD DAILY. IF YOU CHECK INTO THE ITEM FIRST, THEN YOU WON’T GET BURNED. STOP THE FOOLISHNESS. AND REALLY WAS THIS FEEDBACK PAGE CREATED SO YOU ALL COULD GIVE OUT ENGLISH AND GRAMMAR LESSONS???
Well, sure. Because you NEED English and grammar lessons, and a good lesson on “internet etiquette” when typing.
Do YOU think this feedback page was created just so YOU could bitch and complain, and add NOTHING to the discussion?
How old are you, 12? Shut up and go somewhere else.
Talk about etiquette…..look, in this day of twitter, spelling and grammar are not needed. But CAPS is still YELLING. Children yell because they want to be noticed. Adults yell when they have no valid points to argue.
I am Canadian and an avid camper looking for a way to watch TV “on the road”…English American or Canadian stations…would this be what we’ve been looking for? We do NOT want a satellite dish.
I asked for the Rabbit TV USB but they sent me something different. It’s not exactly what I had asked for.
Ive been looking around the WEB and found this and may be I’m not understanding all.
But have all of you watched the whole video on this Rabbit TV product and really understanding what to do when hooking it up, It does state CHOOSE YOUR COUNTRY LOCATION you want to watch..
Or may be I’m understanding but when you choose USA you should get stations in English and or Spanish right?
I’ve recently made an order for this RABBIT TV and am looking for the best for the price in a year. I will not buy into cable and or dish networks due to there prices and BS.
So found it was time to try something else a little different to cut cost of every day life and budget from the wallet. So in this I’ve got questions for all..
Has any one really took the time to try to understand this Rabbit TV product or do you just want to make misleading comments to make it harder for others?
I would be interested to get reviews from the ones that have really tried RABBIT TV and if they like it for what they got.
The rabbit UBS is a ripoff. All it does is give you a list of free video streaming web sites. You could use google and find the same free programs and web sites. You will not get any movie channels or sports Channels with rabbit and most tv shows will be a few day old if you get them at all. Save your money.
have thank you for 1 Rabbit TV premium deluxe but nothing since. Advise
I’m just reading some of these reviews and wondering, does anyone know the difference between there and their anymore?
There are many reasons that their misuse and misunderstanding of the English language is occurring. One, they are not being taught spelling, grammar, English usage, syntax and style in their schools, and, two, there are a lot of teachers who even use non-words such as “alot” when they mean a lot. There is no such word as “alot.” A lot, two words. Also, the word “regards” is not to be used in phrases such as “in regards to this situation…” Regards should be used only when signing a letter, as in “Best Regards.” One should write, regard, with no “s” when writing, “in regard to this situation.” Thanks a lot.
Grammar Police!! Look out, we’ve got a winner amongst us. I wish people would give their review and not some grammar dictation. Grow UP
–
Little Missy
EXCUSE ME but this was about a product not about grammar I think you need to get it right and it isn’t here so take that some where else as people want to come on this site to read reviews about the rabbit and if it works.
No, no-one knows the difference between There and their any more and I say this because a former co-worker who was going for his MBA didn’t know the difference. He had to write an analysis of the credit-worthiness of a business and asked all of his “cubicle mates”: “How do you spell the word Their in the sentence: Their Return on Investment is expected to be 10%.
So, you see you can get the whole way to graduate school, and have children to boot and not know the proper usage of the word There/Their. – Pretty scary.
LOL!! Love it!! I totally agree! Also…one female is a woMAN and more than one is woMEN! How hard is that??
Don’t even get me started on when people say, I should have went to the store instead of, I should have gone to the store! That drives me crazy for some reason! Double negatives drive me crazy even more!
It’s not just that. Incorrect English makes me crazy when I hear it, but the people who do this don’t care if it’s right or wrong. When I correct my sister, she just say’s “whatever” and doesn’t care how she sounds, and then does it again. Your speech shows your education. So I couldn’t agree more.
My grammar is by no means what you would call proper English, but the most common misuse of a word I hear, and Mr Obama and congress do it all the time is, when talking about ideas, they say ideals, LMBO.
Are you serious? If the reviews are upsetting and you cant find self-control, STOP READING THE REVIEWS. Simple Fix.
I was wondering the same thing!!!!!!!
You are an idiot !
Old Mother Hen Grow up. Get off the couch, Get a Job, Clean-up, Get life. ARE YOU AN UNEMPLOYED TEACHER ? Sure Seems It. Just the reviews Please.
It would be good if had all TV Channels out their,had them in HD,work on your TV because lesser Bill.
I’m all for watching Orlando,FL and Springfield/Columbia/Jefferson City,MO watching their Newscast or local Channels you can just get in those area’s on my TV or Computer or even all Orlando Magic Games for free because I don’t live back in Orlando area.
Theirs a lot of others out their to but they just want your money to use or need a Plug in it watch them.
Ruko doesn’t offer every Local Channel out their and some is just On Demand Content.
Do you carry Fox Sports and ESPN Channels?
$10 isn’t bad for a one time cost and get that much entertainment when ever or where ever you are!!
It’s not a scam if you only order ONE 4-G stick from RABBIT-TV for $9.99 plus the S & H fee of about $7.95-THAT’S IT! D0 NOT upgrade or ask for an extra one, that’s how they get you! It is A convenient and very inexpensive way to access foreign TV broadcasts around the world. NOT for domestic TV channel hook-ups on your PC. If this is what you’re looking for, then the product is good!
It is not 4G plain and simple. It requires you to already have internet access whereas 4G is a cellular internet.
No, the product is NOT “good”.
The Buyer is paying almost $20 for internet video content they can access completely FREE, if they take just a bit of time to use virtually any search engine (i.e. Google, Bing, etc.)
It’s a waste of money for the initial purchase AND for the ‘annual renewal’.
In other words, just another internet rip-off. Ya savvy?
This site is a scam! My uncle asked me to use my debit for him because he does not have one,so fine I used my own. The problem came when I order the first USB the site send you to the next page stating you can gt another one which is the special order, so I select one( so far we are at 2 USBs). Then I’m sent to the next page that ask if I want to upgrade to the premium Rabbit USB, so of course I select yes and 2. When I go to the next page which is usually the review page so you could make any changes to your order, there is none you receive a thank you for your order and it is being process. What the heck!! I had over 153.00 on my bill. What a scam!! I’ve order online for quite some time now every site that I know is legit, allow you to review your order before purchase. I called the 1800 number and is waiting for my cancellation to be processed. They stated the order takes 2 days to process and its not in there system.
You are no doubt a giant idiot…it costs less than $20
Read ALL the terms & conditions. It states that it’s $7. something per year, but unless you’ve bought it & used it, there’s no need to call people a “giant idiot”. Come on & buy it, then let us know. No need to be hostile.
I agree there is no time here for name calling all we want is info.. the commercial says $10.00 and you get a free one “and don’t forget to ask how to get free shipping.” Probably with you $153.00 order lol sorry honey I couldn’t resist. (Merry Christmas Yall and Happy New Year!!}
Now that is funny Barb! Made me LOL for real!
Thanks for taking the time to let us know. The saying “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is” Sorry to hear about your uncle.
the same happened to me. I called to cancel and they said they would. I wind up getting two different orders and now I have to send them back. I received them in the mail so NOW I can’t refuse them. So I am going to right REFUSE on the package and send them back. They told me that I have to call them so they will know that I have sent them back. Yes it is a scam!!
I think people miss the point when they call this 4-G stick device a SCAM.They miss the point entirely.Americans are so linguistically challenged and have no interest in the world outside the U.S. This product does connect you to TV broadcasts all around the world that you would otherwise NOT have access to !Sure,most are not in English.However,many subscribers are mulch-lingual and even if they are not fluent in foreign languages,enjoy connecting to foreign networks to see and hear what is going on in the rest of the world. Therefore,it did its job.At only $10.00 it is hardly a SCAM !!!
I like to study the world outside the America’s… And I’m American.
“Mulch-lingual”? Does that mean you speak confused languages?
mulch-lingual: means you can talk to a compost heap and understand the vibes it sends back to you, either that or you stuck your tongue under a lawnmower with a mulching blade on it.
I think Marko meant ‘multi-lingual.’ However, we Americans can be so simple minded at times that its easier to make a joke of someone else’s fault rather than accept the reality of what is upon us.
And for those of us that never heard of a multi-lingual individual, it is someone that speaks more than two languages. Bi-lingual is a person that speaks two languages; like bi-sexual.
#im just saying…
Stop insulting Americans. If a product is sold to American audiences, then they should have American television channels. Otherwise, the product is considered a “scam” because we have laws regarding fraudulent and misleading advertising. You, however, are apparently “linguistically challenged” due to the fact that you wrote “mulch-lingual” instead of multi-lingual, and you do not use proper spacing in your text.
RABBIT TV IS a scam. Everything available on the Rabbit TV ‘stick’ is available FREE on the internet, with just a bit of judicious usage of any decent internet search engine.
Therefore, you are paying $10 + a HIGH shipping cost (almost the price of the USB key!) + an additional fee for a ‘free’ second unit (which means it ISN”T free!) + a $10 annual renewal fee for EACH unit, ALL for something which is EASILY obtained on the internet for FREE.
That makes it a scam, by any definition. Unless you just WANT to pay $30 – $40 for a couple cheap USB keys available from almost any retail outlet for $5.
What a scam… you do not get NBC,ABC, CBS, OR FOX. You can download the same thing online for free all over the web. Sure you might get your money back in time but most people do not ask for the money back, too much of a pain you get nothing that you can download for free.
Thanks keonie!
It make me wonder why they do not list any of these amazing television channels you can get. And in there internet ad they claim you can receive 1,000 radio stations and in a video clip in that same ad they claim you can get 9,000 radio stations. Well which is it? And what are some of them? There are already so many television stations I will not watch in the “package” that I must purchase from my cable provider just so I can get something decent for my children and something intelligent for my wife and I to watch. European advertising alone in beyond “R” rated. I want to know what I am getting for my buck, even if it’s only ten of them.
I couldn’t help but notice if you call there order number it’s all automated and you can not speak with a person. Is this on purpose?
Why won’t they give us a list of these wonderful t.v. stations we can get? Why is it in their internet ad they say you can get 1,000 radio station and in the same ad a video clip states it’s 9,000 radio stations? Why is it when you call their order number that it is all automated and you can not speak to a person? Sounds like a scam to me. If not a direct rip off then surely a HUGE disappointment at least.
Yeah I first seen it on TV and I ask the same question if you get over 10000 Channels why don’t they list them? I would buy but this shows me its a scam.
It sounds like something I don’t need to waste my money on, thank you for saving me, as far as free I listen to last.fm, for all the music I want or Pandora internet radio, also frog FM, these are all free and you get any music selection you want. As far as TV I will stick with my Netflix, and TV web site, like CBS, NBC, Fox, or cw.com.
I sort of remember another product that many people said would never work & was a scam…”Magic Jack”. I’ve been using that device for 4 years and still find it a great way to cut phone costs at $20 per year. I’m a senior citizen and only use a cell phone for emergencies. I think the Rabbit Network could serve a purpose. I’ve never paid for cable in over 20 years. I’ve also never subscribed to any satellite TV purveyor. I’ve been an OTA user since the very early ’90s. I live in the Chicago/Milwaukee viewing area and receive between 70 & 80 local stations. The OTA HD today is better than most cable/dish programming I’ve seen. Movies & the good cable TV shows are available from the local libraries on DVD & Blu-ray. I’m not saying that Rabbit TV will be that revolutionary, but say I’m interested in picking up the Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants NFL games here in Illinois. Most of those games are broadcast over local OTA TV stations. For that reason alone the Rabbit Network USB might be worth the price. I still would like to see a list of stations throughout the USA that would be available on the Rabbit Network. Not having that list on their website is a negative
I agree with your comment about the Magic Jack, I have one too, and it works excellent although I don’t really use it that much because I needed a land line to send faxes from my PC. Magic Jack is GREAT, and it would be nice if Rabbit TV works for local channels and not geared toward international channels.
Hello, I also have a magic jack, and you do not need to have a land line to send faxes. You are able to do it through the magic jack, and it is free. The only thing that you need to do is connect the magic jack to your fax and not your telephone. I use the magic jack for both and I have had it for over 2 years.
I am looking into this “Rabbit TV” item and also would like to see some channel listings. I too use “Magic Jack” and it is great and YES it sends a FAX just fine when connected to the phone port of you Fax machine.
I would like to hear that the “Rabbit TV” is just as good.
Can someone tell us?
It’s not a “scam” per se, but it doesn’t provide anything not already widely available on the internet for free and is therefore a waste of money.
You’re better off using Google to find the station you want by simply entering the TV station “ESPN” or whatever, followed by “streaming” and just start clicking links. In fact, you can Google “streaming live TV” and find out everything you need to know as well as a nice list of websites that provide live TV streaming, IMAGINE THAT!!!
I suggest you install an ad blocking plugin in your browser to stop an endless list of pop-up advertisements. I personally use Firefox with the Adblock Plus plugin installed. I cancelled my cable service months ago and only receive internet to give me not only the phone (my MagicJack) but also all the TV I watch.
Your mileage may vary.
I am considering purchasing the Rabbit TV USB too and I wanted to know what US channels they get and on their home page they have a few. For example I saw MTV, Discovery, History and and a few other but no idea if its true.
Magic jack is a scam. They advertise $19.99 per year. They don’t tell you it is only for the first year and then it is $29.99 plus you have to pay $10 for the virtual number a total of $39.99 per year. I guess the pricing isn’t bad but you need dsl service to operate magic jack and that roughly $30 to $50 a month depending on you service provider. now we are up to $639 per year. That is about $53 per month. My local telephone service is $29 per month. You do the math !!!
Deduct the cost of the dsl from your figures. you only profit by using magic jack, if you already have dsl. if all you need is a phone, and you don’t need dsl, you would just pay for phone service.
Once you get past that (so difficult) step in the calculations, then you are still saving a ton of money at $29.99 a year. if you have a landline phone, it’s gonna be at least $29.99 a month. so you are saving 11/12 that amount. redo the math, if you can comprehend.
If you have dsl, at $30.00-$50.00 a month, and $29.99 a month for the landline, and you would rather pay that than pay $30.00-$50.00 a month, and only one payment of 29.99 a year for magic jack- then go for it. Play the lotto while you’re at it. Your math should tell you that you have a good chance at winning it.
Ben:
I am sorry BUT Magic Jack does work at $19.99 a year. You can buy up to 5 years at time if you like which lowers the cost a year by about $6.00 a year.
You Do NOT need DSL for magic jack to work Just plug the thing into a USB port either on a tower or a laptop and install the software from magic Jack. I have use one this way for years. The new version is even better all you need is to plug Magic Jack into a Router, which is on all the time and you can turn the tower computer off. You will be able to send and receive calls with this at $19.99 a year.
Magic Jack is certainly NOT a scam. I have used it for 4 years, saving about $1800 on landline charges. I prepaid for 5 years and it was only $69.95 plus the small one-time charge for the Jack itself.How can you beat that? My wife calls relatives in Europe and the charge is only about 2 cents per minute. We are both impressed by Magic Jack and will continue to use it.
I have had Magic Jack for around five years and have never paid more than $19.99 a year, I cant imagine any one being ripped off that much without cancelling the first year.
I have only had great experiences with Magic Jack. Reception was wonderful and I’ve only paid $19.99 ONCE. I’ve used it for 3 years.
However, I’m not as confident with the Rabbit TV given all the reviews I’ve read…
Ben has no idea what he is talking about. I’ve been using magic jack for 3 years and I have never encountered a problem using it. Where Ben got his figures, who knows. Don’t listen to Ben. He’s an idiot. It only costs me $19.95 a year. Yes it does cost $39.95 to purchase it but that includes one year of service.
I have used Magic Jack since it was available. The price for me actually went down to 29.99 for two years being a preferred customer or some shit. Yes, it accesses through the internet. Some folks in the cities have numerous open Wi-Fi networks for free internet access and benefit the most in that respect. Otherwise, the average home generally has internet service and the Magic Jack is as good as Vonage, Charter or any other internet supported telephone service. IMO, this USB TV outfit is total BULLSHIT! Very misleading advertising which is focused towards the gullible middle class folk and the elderly on SS trying to save a buck on their monthly bills. This country is going to shit real quick.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I have been using Magic Jack since the product was released. I paid $59.00 for five years of service. Originally I paid $20.00 for the unit and the first year was free. After that I paid the $59.00 but remember, that was for an additional 5yrs of service. That comes out to about $10.00 a year. You can’t beat it. I love my Magic Jack. My relatives all over the country are using it and we talk all we want.
Thats not true, I’ve had Magic Jack for several years and have not been charged any more than what was promised.
Honestly try the straight talk home phone, you pay hundred dollars for the modem, but for $15.00 a month you can get coast to coast calling, call waiting, call forward, three way calling, voice mail, and it is battery back up for when the power goes out, you just buy the straight talk card. Very cheap works great, and I live in the woods. Does not require a phone line, so you can take it anywhere.
I have magic jack PLUS. The company has changed from when it first started. I was able to keep my same phone # and it works great. You can now use it with or without a computer. I dropped my old phone company and I pay less than $30 per year for the service
In my country Colombia, where can I buy Rabbit TV USB?
I hate to say it, but YES IT IS A SCAM! I received my RABBIT TV USB sticks, and excitedly connected one to my PC. They aren’t lying when they say how easy it is to use, OR about the number of channels. BUT, THEY ARE ALL EITHER FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH NON ENGLISH SPEAKING PROGRAMMING, or “IN THE CLEAR” channels that anyone with Internet access can ALREADY STREAM WITHOUT THE RABBIT TV STICKS! Think about it? With the cost so low, if 1 million people order to find out it’s garbage programming, because it’s so cheap instead of sending it back for a refund, MOST people will just toss it in a drawer and cut there losses. If even ONE QUARTER of subscribers do this, they’ve STILL MADE ALMOST $500,000.00! Not a bad payday? THIS is what they are banking on!
Speaking as a Roku/fIOS user, I fail to see how exactly devices/software such as streamboxes or streaming dongles ( eg. Rabbit TV ) can be called outright scams.
While it is true all they do is sort of “package” readily available public domain and corporately provided internet/television content, they do serve one slightly useful purpose. Essentially, they save time even techheads like myself would waste finding/DLing all kinds of torrents.
One other thing standalone streamers (eg. Boxee, WDTV Live, Roku, etc.) do (that obviously Rabbit TV currently does not) is to allow users to access all kinds of internet tv, film and radio content on their television. And for those clever trolls about to correct me that one can buy a newer HDTV with streaming, thats great if you can afford one, but what about older AV or coaxial input models? Your only solution there would be something like Roku or WDTV Live ( by the way, Apple no longer supports the older AppleTV boxes that have nonHDMI outputs).
So its only a scam if you enjoy wasting time and data costs streaming/torrenting to a computer. However, some of us prefer watching this stuff on a television when at home or wherever we can access one. And as many other irate cable/satellite customers will express, some of us have had it with these providers’ nonsense (in my case, the terrible firmware the likes of Verizon use, causing all manner of service disruptions or endless games of DVR catchup due to machines with tiny hard drives.
Nice post, I’m also a Roku user, in fact, I got rid of cable all together. I bought a Quest Indoor Digital Antenna for $10.00 from Big Lots and it gives me all of my local channels and I use Roku and Netflix for everything else. Not to mention any Windows PC will come with Windows Media Player installed. With that you can watch internet TV for free and it gives you a lot of channels.
I have never used the Rabbit Network but if you have even a limited understanding of technology you would realize that this product is a scam and it’s purpose is simply to trick you into giving your credit card information to them. Stay away from it and use your brains people, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is!
I think it’s interesting that I can find a list of the “Channels” or content of what is available with Rabbit TV. The whole reason one would get this is to watch TV correct ? So other then the basics like cost or does the technology really work… would be CONTENT ? This could be 2000 channels of public access television from hundreds of local markets ! You know what public access is My market (Tampa) has 39 public access channels alone that I & most people NEVER watch. Add New York, Miami, LA, & Chicago and you can get to 2000 “Channels” really fast of stuff no one would really watch… I’m not professing that this is what Rabbit TV in fact does but I’m just saying… It could also just offer multiple listings of local television markets…For example lets say through Rabbit TV you could watch Fox network in Tampa, Miami, Chicago, LA…. So yes tech that would be 4 different “Channel” choices but ALL 4 of those channels would be FOX and give you the same prime-time shows… so no not really 4 choices of separate individual content .. do this with the average local market having say 12 channels (Including Spanish channels) times say 50 city markets that would be 600 of Rabbit TV “Channels” right there, with very little variations of content. Again I’m not saying that this is what Rabbit TV does but unless they are willing ti list the actual “Channels” or content I’m going to suspect that it’s something like this… Why wouldn’t say in the add for example “2000 channels including popular shows and specials from the ID Channel, History Channel, TLC, ESPN and more !” If I was promoting a product that did in fact give you that kind of content I sure would mention it ! Wouldn’t YOU ? … Yes if you don’t like it you can send it back… but who knows how long a return & exchange takes to process… Before I give any company the usage of my $33 bucks (Even if eventually I’ll get it back) I want to know what the device is REALLY offering ! As you can see just through my examples just spewing out numbers like 2000 channels really means nothing… If you don’t know what in fact those channels ARE ! I might indeed be interested in this product… BUT LET THE CONSUMER KNOW WHAT IS REALLY BEING OFFERED ! Until then I’ll wait and see and hopefully be pleasantly SURPRISED ! But I get the feeling I wont….
Agree 100% with your comments. Should mention what those channels are.
Do what now??
Review Rabbit TV
Is it true that almost all international television channels and radio channels can be accessed with it?
Is there really no complex installation procedure required?
Does viewing channels through Rabbit TV has no extra cost whatsoever?
Can it be used easily while traveling?
