Works When It Feels Like
Half of the channels don't work or hangs in between. They do not respond to calls and never provide any customer service. You need to have a lot of patience to operate the box. The picture quality is average as they can provide 4k resolution.

Frauds
I bought this set top box for $280 from a Worldmax Reseller [name removed], from Pendle Hill. He insisted on paying in cash and did not give me receipt. First week after buying it started to malfunction, it was turning on and off frequently. Later, the videos also started buffering. I contacted several times [name removed], the reseller, on his phone number [contact details removed] but he refused to replace or refund the box despite a two years warranty. However, after contacting 4th time, he asked me to contact their customer service which i...Read more
s also very unhelpful. He also told me that there is something wrong with my TPG internet connection. After that I signed up for a faster internet and still it did not work. Their customer service asked me to do some internet speed and other tests which I did and sent to them. After, they said they will get back to me but I haven’t heard back from them yet. I tried calling them on their support phone number [contact details removed] but they are not picking up their phone. I encourage everyone to report this to ACCC so that these frauds do not get away with this.

Very poor product and customer service as well
Not working after buying
Customer service is very bad
Asking to buy a new box ( updated version)
What if you will launch new box in few months, should I pay $290 again?
Atleast, they should consider their customers who were using the old version and should give discount for new box

DODGY COMPANY. Keeps restarting every 2 minutes. Wants me to buy new one.
Keeps restarting every 2 minutes. I've been told to buy new one. When I bought it 2.5 years back, I've been told that it's free for lifetime. Would have bought paid subscription boxes of I knew that they gonna do dodgy practices

This is a terrible box
One should never even consider this box. There is no guarantee which channel would be available on a day. On top of it, many channels just "buffer" and never shows the channel. What they promise and what they deliver is miles apart. Customer Service virtually is non existent
Cheers

Terrible service and fake product
We are having daily issues with channels buffering and over the couple of weeks, we started to lose channels one by one. Currently the box is dead. We called them and reported all the issues on an email and nothing happened. they have basically cheated the public! I want my money back

Unscrupulous practices
Worked for a bit over a year but since a recent automatic update the LiveTV app keeps crashing and device constantly rebooting. Called their call center several times and with great difficulty spoke to a 'support' person. He told me that I have to buy new device since they have updated the software!
Even when it worked, there was often buffering and it was never HD as claimed. This is despite connecting via Ethernet cable at near 100 Mbps internet download speedtest.
The business model is a classic Ponzi scheme. They don't charge a monthly/...Read more
annual fee and you just pay an one-off device fee. This means their revenue stream is only from people buying new devices. This is not sustainable as they would have to keep selling new devices which will progressively reduce everyone's bandwidth which was happening. They have now killed-off their 1 year plus older devices by their 'update' and reclaimed bandwidth. The company's website has no address or any ownership details. They have an Australian VOIP number and call goes to India. There is no ABN# or any physical contact details. Basically, they can shut shop and disappear any time. Two stars as it did work for about a year.Purchased in March 2021 for A$285.00.

Not at all worth for money and very very bad customer support
At the time of selling they promised it is lifetime no cost and now they have deliberately remove all of the functionalities and advising for go for new box. When they have sold the box saying lifetime no subscription they have to ensure all the features for that box should be made available as I don't want to upgrade as I don't want 4k features. The support person is keeping calm on the phone call when asking these questions and says I will come back to you. They does not deserve any of the star at all. The worst of all.

Worldmax is a rip-off
they change software so it won't work anymore & their "support" will then say that your box is "old tech" & you'll have to buy another "new box" for full price! Never again!

Do not buy.
How long are the Worldmax-tv team going to lie about the old tv box not being compatible with the new server when i have managed to get the old tv box working?(Only managed to get live tv working) . The fact that the box restarts every minute or so when you let it connect to the worldmax server but does not restart when reset and kept offline suggests that the restart is a forced attempt to break a working product. Does anybody here know how does ACC handle a device disabling companies?
