StreamBox.TV January 11, 2007

Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Media Streaming , trackback

Streambox streams Indian cable TV channels to your computer. The site is not freeMoney Icon, but the pricing is modest: I tried the news channel (AajTak was $5/month) and cricket (~$19/month) for couple of months while my parents were visiting in mid-2006. For the short duration of my subscription, I was only moderately satisfied with their reliability (the site was down sometimes, and the stream used to freeze up frequently).

Picture was decent quality when hooked up to my 32″ LCD (same way like i did BWplanet). Useful if you don’t want to miss the occasional good stuff on Indian cable network (i.e. cricketEmoticon Grin). Beware of zero customer support though- I know of more than one person who wanted to opt out after paying but could not because of server outages. Streambox.tv has recently had very frequent and long outages; I won’t recommend them anymore.

Wrench Icon Update: After an avalanche of angry, confused comments to this post, I’ve come to the conclusion that Streambox.TV is definitely not worth paying for. The customer support is zero, which has resulted in lot of users being concerned about recurrent credit card charges (If you do sign up, don’t select the auto-charge-my-credit-card-monthly option). Thanks to reader suggestions, there are plenty of other FREE sites that could be a better substitute- check out the comments below, or the ‘Entertainment’ category to the left.

Some overall notes:

its not coming properly why,we r gemini tv subcribers please check one again thank u

2. ramesh - January 31, 2007

Streambox tv is not working from past 2 days. Can you please check it out

3. eIndia - January 31, 2007

Guys, thanks for your comments. I tried the link in my post, and it did have a problem- I’ve fixed it now. Thanks for pointing it out.

4. vijay - February 1, 2007

The site seems to be down since past 3 days. No update from Streambox as yet as to when it would be resolved. I see this is Streambox.tv is one such business which does not have a phone number to call… I am sure they will get too many calls if they have one.

5. james - February 1, 2007

hey guys whats going on?? there is no service since the last three days. whom to contact??

6. jayaramyk - February 1, 2007

whatsupguysno service since2 days.whom to contact on this?

7. eIndia - February 1, 2007

Allright guys, let me clarify couple of things here:
1. I don’t have any control over streambox.tv, in case you are wondering. I only wrote my opinion about it.
2. What I “fixed” was the link to the site in my post
3. Seems like the streambox.tv site has been down for a while. I *did* mention in the original post that the site is buggy. I’m not surprised that it’s not functioning unreliably, it happened once or twice everyday when I was using it in mid-2006.
I wonder if Streambox.tv has reached the sudden-death stage of web 2.0 startups. Like Vijay wrote in his comment, they don’t have any customer service contact at this time.
I was a good business idea- too bad at Streambox.tv couldn’t gather the reputation of a reliable site.

8. viji - February 1, 2007

Streambox is down for 3 days… Anyone got any news abt it…

9. Tomleee - February 1, 2007

Streambox is down for 2days.Is there any customer service No:, or email id to contact them…

10. Antonio Bruno - February 1, 2007

Streambox TV is not working for the past two days. Who do we contact regarding this issue? We need a quick solution for this? Dont want to pay for no service……..

11. Ram - February 1, 2007

12. Prasad - February 1, 2007

24. Customer - February 2, 2007

Hi,
They have stopped streaming beacause of these continuos outages…Whenever you subscribe you have to cancell it immediately.When they do not respond we have to cancell and renew at the time required manually…why do you want them to charge automatically when they cant disclose their ID.

Their support is from tamilgrounds…they seem to have updated even yesterday So the admin is still surviving deliberately they are not responding to our mails.
So they should have closed down.They cant stream like this They cant afford.

29. vanakkam - February 2, 2007

Streambox sucks !! we pay as much as dish tv channel and yet this is the support !! we tried sending emails and the worst part is mails bounce back to us. this is horriable. I am going to dispute againt the payment and block the payment.

30. Sandy - February 2, 2007

Streambox.tv is not reliable
No Contact Information
Server is down most of the times
No HelpDesk
Not Secured for payment/Credit cards

31. Tamilan - February 2, 2007

You can call your bank’s credit card department and inform them not to approve any transaction through streambox.

32. Srinivasan - February 2, 2007

It’s scary when you dont have any one to help, when there is a problem. Hopefully they realize and get the site back in action

33. tamil - February 3, 2007

Its on today …hope our people also dont link thru their server ,this small things create problem for loyal viewers also which should have created the problem.Let them continue this service…Atleast they should respond they must realize.Its also bad on their part by not responding.
Just canecell as soon as you renew so atleast we wont have tensions about this autorenewal.

34. Julia - February 3, 2007

From yesterday the SunTv works very well. After 3 days being completely down, now works continuous and fine, even at 600K speed.
I wanted to unsbscribe but nowit is fine, let me see for this week. The new URL is:
http://www.streambox.tv/channel/

35. chinju - February 4, 2007

The site should be updated to a level that everybody enjoys for what they pay for,rather than being offline or not giving good transmission. I was very happy when this site was known but not able to contact,if any trouble shoots up. Hope to have a better service in the future.

36. Ram - February 4, 2007

I have subscribed for Gemini and it worked fine from past 2 days. Today when I login using with my userid and password it is displaying that none of the channels are registered.

37. Viji - February 4, 2007

Same here. It shows no subscription when i log on to see SunTV.

38. paresh ashar - February 5, 2007

39. daniel daniel - February 6, 2007

40. saiprasad - February 7, 2007

since 3weeks i can’t see streambox and the most disgusting part is there is no contact address or phone number of stream box.
where should i complain? when you are taking payment in advance you must also see that the maintenace is in proper condition or incase there is any problem you need to send us a mail specifying the problem. if there is no contact between us what should i do. incase this continues i will cancel my subscription very soon.

Hi, everyone,

I advice to all, don’t subscribe Streambox.tv. They are making only money. Service is not good. Site is down most of time. Please don’t advice to anyone for this site.
Please don’t listen, if anyone says this website is working good.

45. Suresh - February 10, 2007

Stay out of it guys. I think it was a scam they ran I guess. Better to dispute the charges and change the Credit Card number.. My parents came to USA recently and were getting bored. Should have given virtual CC number instead. Alternate is use slingbox.

(~This comment was edited by eIndia because of inappropriate language~)

46. Daisy - February 11, 2007

Please dont subscribe to streambox.tv. This is the first time i have subscribed (set max) and in less than a month i have written to them 6 times already, sometimes they dont even reply, there is no other way to get in touch with them. I couldnt view the stream for at least 2 weeks in less than a month, now they have given 10 days grace, but its still the same scene. This a money making tactic.
Even if you write to them, they dont address your issue properly. Please dont subscribe to this at all, you will be wasting your time, and money on it.

47. Bob_in - February 14, 2007

There is no reason to give money to any website other then official partner of TV channels. Only http://www.willow.tv is official website for showing cricket, this i confirmed from BBCI. For other channels use free websites. I can give few example and if anyone find something more kindly share with all.
For Cricket use Sopcast player or TVU Player both are p2p software and all cricket match can be seen freely. Search on google and anyone can find them for download.
For Indian TV channels use these sites all are free.
http://www.idesitv.com
http://www.live-from-india.com

Only JumpTV is official website for Indian channels.
http://www.sharevdo.com/

Whenever possible I myself share cricket telecast thru sopcast player.

Thanks I hope these information will help everyone.

For the past few days, we cannot view any programs properly and we are sun Tv subscribers.What is the purpose of paying every month if we cannot view anything properly.Every 10sec we have to login again…….The service is very poor,.Is there anyother site where we can get Sun tv.?

I was just about to subscribe to Streambox and give my credit card details when I decided to search the net on the company and I ended up on your website. I am happy I did and now after reading several comments, have decided not to go ahead with my subscription with Streambox. Can anyone tell me if there is any good website that provides Indian channels such as Star TV, Sony, etc online? Thanks and best regards. Jag

61. eIndia - March 4, 2007

76. Streambox Ex-User - April 28, 2007

I was a streambox user for one year or so. I requested to cancel my subscription of Streambox.tv. I couldnt call them since they dont have a phone number. In the credti card statement, I could find only the fax number. Then I sent out an email to
Support@streambox.tv requesting them to cancel my subscription.

They never responded to my email and they quietly kept on charging my credit card. Still they are doing the same and then I called my bankers to block these idiots. SO MY SINCERE ADVICE IS NOT TO GO WITH THIS STREAMBOX.TV.

PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS SO THAT THEY CAN ALSO BE SAVED FROM THIS KIND OF A TORTURE.

I agree with u guys that streambox is not worth, the customer support is too bad. I was charged multiple times for this month and when i raised a ticket, i just got an automated reply with no response just some advertisement junks in them. When i rewrote to them they sent an email to me mentioning that i was threating them and that i am fraud. How the hell can they expect a customer to be a fraud, do they think i am cheating????? They only expect to take money from us without giving proper service….they do not expect to be questioned….when questioned they treat it as threats to them. Silly people…………….

Don’t give your card details in any sites..Its not good..I found that in streambox, there is no option to pay through paypal..If somebody is intersted for watching Malayalam channel,you can go for http://www.bestofmalayalam.com ..I am one of the customer and they are giving best quality live streaming.And you also have option to recharge through paypal.So your card will be secure. and 24 hrs helpline.

How to stop payment with stram box. ?
There is no way to stop the
Thy have disabled the link.
it seems we need to call the credit card company and report farud .

There is no way to stop the recurring payment to stream box.

106. desi - December 15, 2007

Best way to cancel your auto-renew subscription is to call your credit card company and block recurring charges from Streambox.TV

107. sea922n - December 17, 2007

Hmm… I have been reading this review for quite sometime and wondering why you guys are not able to stop the payment. Its simple folks. Just update your CC number with some junk number and the next time when STREAMBOX.TV tries to charge your card, it won’t work because you have given an incorrect card number. Try that out.

Now coming to other providers for south indian channels,
I tried isaitamil.net, and its not worth it even if its free. Their streaming rate is very low and so is the quality. I watched streambox.tv and its true that they dont provide customer support, but I did not face any streaming issue and their streaming is pretty good quality when compared to isaitamil.net. streambox.tv folks, if you are listening, I would say you guys are doing good job, but when you charge, do provide customer support.

I didnt have any complaints for the last 4 months till now. Since the last 2 weeks nothing has been coming and there is no customer response at all. They have even taken away the link to update the CC info now. I am going to call my credit card company tomorrow and block this.

I’m joining the sea of people that seem to be distressed with the non existent support of Streambox.tv! My auto subscription expired, and I’ve not been able to renew my subscription…repeat emails haven’t elicited any response whatsoever. What kind of a business is this, that doesn’t want to take money from a customer that wanted to pay it! i’m giving up on them, will no longer recommend it to friends. And I do share the views that their servers have been down very many times recently. And here’s the creepy part - my initial subscription had 3 other channels besides cricket, and it suddenly vanished without notice!!

thanks for the suggestions on other websites that do live streaming

112. MK - January 2, 2008

113. BN - January 2, 2008

Guys,

Not sure what is happening. I am getting redirected to merabollywood site automatically. Seems to be some kind of scam…I am trying to cancel, but unable to do so. I have to call my CC to make sure I do not pay this scam website.

114. BN - January 2, 2008

My cricket channels also stopped streaming about 2-3 days back. Now I am getting redirected to merabollywood. How do we put an end to this scam.

115. GSR - January 3, 2008

Folks.. Same problem too. I tried to contact CSC and no response till now. I am going to call my CC company and advice them to block payments. Nothing is working except the url http://www.streambox.tv/channel.

116. Raj - January 4, 2008

Used this for the past 1 year and it was good until last week. Now it goes to a different website. Better call the Credit card company and change your card number to protect yourself. That’s exactly what I did. I am not willing to take risk with this company

117. abule - January 4, 2008

it is not getting redirected now…
now the message says streambox.tv is no longer available

118. robin - January 10, 2008

i signed up with another site last week. they are showing 10 malayalam channels. called windowstreams.com they have good streaming but the sad part is it always 1 or 2 channels down..! but for 14.99 i got 8 working channels (malayalam)

Yes Streambox is closed now. but i signed up with WindowStreams.com. WindowStreams is a Nice Source with 10 channels in malayalam. Nice Support people and good Streaming too

122. Mr.boon - January 17, 2008

Yah Windowstream.com is a good Source for malayalm TV channels. they had 10 malyalam channels in thier Showcase. All of them are streaming good so far.

I am a windowstreams member for last 4 months. In that period there was some up and downs. But the Good thing is their tech support. they are so friendly , technically skilled and respond with in minitues. i will say their channels have 99% uptime.

i will say windowstreams.com is a good Source, if you considering malayalam channels.

131. Sree - February 2, 2008

Hi I subscribed to streambox tv for many channels, paying more than 40$, but since a long time it stopped working and now every time I try to contact them to unsubscribe, it says website no longer available. I hope they are not charging the monthly charges. What a poor service with no clue to customers when they shut down! If anyone knows how to contact them please help

132. saqw - February 18, 2008

138. Senthil Kumar TN - July 9, 2008

i have the same experience with watchsuntv.com i was asking for thier support 5 times within 15 hrs after my signup. They didnt reply any single emails. so i decided to cancel my account and emailed them about my refund request within 24 hrs. But they replied back this time after 48 hrs and told me that “i am not eligible to get the refund just because it was already 48 hrs gone.” I replied them back to point out that i cancelled the subscription from my paypal within 24 hrs,and i requested for a refund within 24 hrs of my signup. 10 days now and no reply from watchsuntv.com. So i filed a dispute and waiting for a result. Friends, looks like they are cheeters. Stay away from them. I found out today from my friend that watch sun tv team cloned a website layout from another provider site. (windowstreams.com) So looks like watch sun tv is cheeting from top to bottom. It is a total rip off website. @#$%##@!

Do you guys have any idea where i can watch suntv and vijay tv. I checked bestofmalayalam.com and windowstreams.com. But those guys only provides mallu channels. All the tips are welcome.
