Saw the vendor at the Southern Christmas Show in Charlotte NC 13-14 November 2015.  Salesperson explained how the system worked and asked us about our wireless internet connection and we told him our download speed was around 5.  Told him that we only have Netflix at home and he said that if we have Netflix then their box would work perfectly no problems.  He sang the praises of the box and how we could view movies, the same ones that are at the theater right now.  We could see all network programming within an hour of regular broadcast, and also get the pay channels, hbo, show time, etc and all regular cable channels too.  All for only a one time charge of $349.  Sounded too good to be true, but I had not reason to doubt the validity of the vendor because I would expect the show promoter at Southen Christmas Show to know their vendors, since it is a juried show, and not accept a rip-off company.

 In good faith we purchased the box.  It has not worked though we have been on the phone with the tech support and the manager.  The Tech support guy, Brink, said that the problem was our internet speed and told me the only thing to do was to try a direct connect.  I take issue with direct connect because we explained our situation up front with the salesperson at the show.  Anyway, I found a cable and did try the direct connect.  It does not work.  Brian texted my husband, Darrin last night and said he would call today to walk him through the issues and get it working.  He finally called late in the afternoon, but Darrin was at work, so I called him to see if he would be availabe at 6pm when I got home from my college class, he said yes, and said call my cell phone.  

Well, I called him just before 6pm and he answered and then handed the phone to Brink who said he was tech support.  I asked why Brian wasn't talking to me and he said Brian was busy with some other more messed up call.  I was on the phone with Brink for about 40 mins with mostly silence on his end (I guess he was thinking) and he tried to do a speed test, but that didn't work, tried it several times, he said it was because the connection was too slow.  It didn't seem to me that the program was working at all. None of the applications on the box will open or operate at all. I am not a tech person, but it seems to me that if it was internet it would give an appropriate error message.  Anyway, he told me he didn't know anything else to tell me.  

Silence.  So I said what does that mean?  He said I don't know what to tell you, it must be your internet being too slow. I referred him back to what the salesperson told us, and no comment from him.  I asked if he could get Brian on the line and he said Brian was in a business meeting.  I asked him to let Brian know and ask him to call me.  So far no call.  But after talking with Brian this afternoon and the attitude he gave me when I asked him what he could do to fix it or refund, he said there is no refund.  So when a company says no refund I guess that means that even if there system doesn't do what the salesperson says it will do, you're just out of luck and there is no recourse.  I would like a refund or a workable solution for the product that we in good faith purchased from the salesperson at the Southern Christmas Show.

POSTED: Monday, November 30, 2015

 In my last update we had mailed the box back to  Brian Schumacher of Stream TV, LLC  to the address he provided to us as he requested us to do and then he was to provide a complete refund.  However, since he did not give us his complete address (left out the unit number) then of course, the post office could not deliver it and now it is lost in transit back to us for the last several weeks.  He had the package tracking number on the day we shipped it, so it is likely he could have made arrangements to retrieve it from the post office once he realized he had given the incorrect address to us.  I can't say it was intentional on his part, but given the history of our encounter to date, it seems like more of the same stuff  we have been experiencing from him. 

Christina from Southern Shows has attempted to contact him via phone and email and she tells us that he is not responding to her at all.  He has not communicated back to us.  The post office has given us a timeframe of up to six weeks for our package to get returned to us. So in the meantime we are at a complete standstill and feel that given the lack of responsiveness and good will we have received from this company to date, it is unlikely for a positive end to this scenario.  But I hope that details our experience here and with the Better Business Bureau, will help someone else to be more careful than we were at trusting a business person to do the right thing and stand behind the product and his word, including that of his salesperson.

  We are still in hope for a positive outcome, and I will certainly update to that effect should it happen.  In the meantime, buyers beware lest you make the same mistake we did  by making the purchase at the Southern Christmas show in November 2015.

Update status of refund statement

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Monday, November 30, 2015

After contacting Southern Shows, they contacted Brian  and he told them he wanted me to try one more thing and if that didn't work he would provide a complete refund.  He told Southern Shows to have me call him.  I called Brian moments later  and he was apparently not available or wouldn't come to the phone. Brink, his tech person was the person who answered the phone.  I had previously left my number for Brian, but he didn't call me, but I again left my number and asked Brink to have him call me.  He has not called me as of today, however, a few minutes after my call, he texted me and told me to try direct connect, which I did and there was no change in the ability from the wireless connection.  So I said, refund please as per southern shows, and he said okay, send me the box back, provide tracking number and I will refund you once I get the box back and check it out. That was Tuesday, 11/24 12:30pm approx.  The box was returned via priority mail, signed receipt the same afternoon.

UPDATE:  today, Monday, November 30th, when my husband, 'D' texted Brian at the same number he had texted me on last Tuesday to inquire about his receipt of the box, Brian texted back the following:

"Excuse me i aa currently on thanksgiving break with my family like every other person. When my team gets in the office today any notices will be dealt with.  However, no refund will be given till the device is checked, and your ripoff report is removed.  In future try to use ripoff report for its intended use to warn people of scam artists not actual business who you a unhappy with."  "You will not receive a refund until that is removed."

 When "D" texted him back, I'm turning it over to my bank then.

Text back from Brian:  "Feel free i have two signed receipts by you that state no refunds. and fyi our product works ripoff reports is for people to post about actual ripoffs. Thanks"

I've texted Southern Shows with an update of the latest text from Brian so am waiting to see what will occur next.

Once again, we have only acted on good faith in this entire transaction and held up our end of the commitment.  We exhausted all of our efforts to get his product to work for us, and it didn't, he agree to a refund and now he is apparently holding a refund hostage until I 'take down' this ripoff report which he considers unworthy of being posted on this site.

however, I found out about ripoff reoprt by googling his company and reading a previous post about it, which had been resolved, thankfully.   In my case, I would be very happy to write a report stating the issue is resolved satisfactorily.  I don't think Brian threatening to hold the refund hostage till I "take down' something that I feel is an accurate accounting of my experience, to be moving in a postive direction.  still hoping for a postiive resolution and I will defintiely update this report either way.
