This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This company sold a tv adapter promising the telecast of International channels (Sports and Asian Channels specifically) through internet streaming. They informed that what they were doing is absolutely legal.
Since 4 days of my purchase of this product, none of the channels are showing up as promised.
They said that they have a return policy of 2 weeks, and I called up the agent who sold me and the customer care. Customer care says that they don't take it back and refund my money, and needs to be returned to the agent. Agent says the Customer care is bluffing and he cannot take the product back.
Also, for channels not streaming they inform that they or their product is not accountable.
I feel ripped off by this company's product. Their product cost is $250 (One time charge).
Need government to take some quick action against these crooks as they are fooling a larger crowd by selling this product.

Since last one month VOD section of Jadoo TV 5 Box was not working, but now since last week box itself is not working. I have tried all possible means and sent emails to customer support and they are not even bothered to reply. Horrible customer service.

Jadoo TV 5: Piece of garbage box . Bought it a week ago, either it buffers or errors out. Their technical support is of no use and its really impossible to either talk to them or get hold of them . This should be banned in USA, it's a total scam.

This product is a total fraud. For the first two months, the channels worked on and off. Sometimes no audio, other times no video.
Some other times, the channel won't come at all. Now, most of the popular channels simply disappeared. The customer service don't take responsibility for adding those channels in the first place. Instead they blame the customer for adding third party channels. This whole thing is a fraud, pure and simple. The company and the sales agents need to be prosecuted for deceptive practices.

My jadoo stopped working. I called their tech support center and I was told that software in my Jadoo box is corrupted. I was given two options replace this box a used refurbished one and pay $50 OR replace this box with a new box and pay $100. Used one has 1 year warranty. I said I have already replaced my Jadoo 2 and Jadoo 3 due to same issue and the guy said think about it and call us back if you agree we don't have any control on software.
Conclusion: They must have control on each Jadoo MAC number and they intentionally corrupt software after warrant expires in order to make more money.

I can't believe how Jadoo TV is still able to do its business in North America after years of cheating and false promises. If peole decide to hire a good lawyer to file a lawsuit against them, I am willing to chip in.

It's fixable using the uart pin headers when you rip open the jadoo. its simply a linux distro loading preconfigured server details. Yes they pushed an update so you'd go out an buy their latest device but did you honestly believe what they were selling you was going to be free for lifetime? wake up people. nothing is free.

Jadoo tv is indeed a rip off. I paid $279 for jadoo 2 and their programs worked only of off Youtube and Dailymotion. Once YouTube blocked content (probably because it wasn't legal), you could not watch any Indian programs on Jadoo. Now Jadoo 2 does not work at all. Called customer service and they say Jadoo 2 is not supported any more and they were trying to rip me off again asking for addition $149 to upgrade to Jadoo 4. What for? They don't have any content and are liars. Do not waste your money.

This is the worst ever technology i have ever purchased, most channels are not being played as was promised by the company and most of the time the device keeps on buffering. I suggest other viewers, not to purchase this device and lose your valuable money as i did

Jadoo Tv 4.
This is totally wast of money, almost $200.00. Jadoo Tv has few channel which no one want to watch. Some of them if you want to watch you need pay subscription fee, means not free. XBMC 14.2 is there but old version and you cannot update it. Right now XBMC 16 available for you. That means what ever Jadoo Tv comes with box that's it. No further millage for you. Jadoo Tv is a big time liar. One thing is for sure this box is good for Pakistan people. Because they have many working channels. But other people get big ZERO out of this box. Basically this is just Android Box. There is no point to spend $200.00 for this, anybody can get any Android box as little as $50 to $100 and it comes XBMC install with latest version. If you like later on you can update too. Jadoo Tv 4 completely a android box. Some how they just mastering the name to Jadoo Tv with all restrictions. On my opinion do not bye this or don't get trapped of there false advertisement.

Listen you are getting jadoo as you cannot afford dish network indian services. Possible buffering is your internet speed. I never had problem with jadoo channels unless the channels were down, it is like saying internet is down. What you are still going to complain you got ripped off. You are getting jadoo cause you are cheap like me. So shut up and stop complaining. MOve back where the hell you came from.

From ZEE News India, I came to know that JadooTV was illegally broadcasting Indian TV channels inlcluding IndiaTV. Now they are busted in Hyderabad, I feel that JadooTV also involved me in fraud activity as I was watching illegally transmitted streaming. I am planning to sue, JadooTV. Has anyone any idea how to proceed with it?

Jadoo is stupid, you can get an HDMI cable and connect it to your laptop or computer and get free channels instead of paying for their stupid channels.
