About Rabbit TV
Rabbit TV is USB stick which, according to their website, promises to provide its users with free access to internet television, including over 5,000 television stations and 9,000 radio stations.
Purchasing the Rabbit TV USB stick costs $10, plus a $6.99 Shipping & Handling fee, or if you can find a store which sells “As Seen On TV” products, Rabbit TV will cost a flat $10 fee for annual use. If you choose to continue service the following year, you will be charged another $10 annual fee.
Potential purchasers of Rabbit TV often wonder “How does it work?” Well, instead of providing you with direct service from a cable provider, you are given access to a system of websites which feature full television episodes.
All you have to do is insert the USB stick into any computer device in your home, select your home country, and then choose the television show you want to watch. The website promises that installation only takes seconds, and there is no limitation on how often or how much you watch.
When it comes to internet based television, many people first think of smart boxes, or products like the brand name Roku. When comparing Rabbit TV vs Roku, the first thing you should know is that Roku – or other smart boxes – are stationary. They connect your television to the internet and give you access to television through paid for providers like Hulu or Netflix.
Since Rabbit TV is a USB stick, it connects to any PC, desktop, or laptop, so therefore it can travel with you wherever your electronic devices do.
However, real customer comments show many complaints that Rabbit TV simply sends them to a variety of websites which offer partial episodes, or partial seasons, since these websites are not considered full service providers like the networks you have access to when you subscribe to cable, or alternative providers like Hulu and Netlix.

It is not only scam also fraud and false advertising crime
I had purchased today in canada and I reaised that all webs are not accessible or at all not exist
only for advertising that is accessible in canada this scamers should go to jail
I bought Rabbit TV about a year ago. I tried it on 4 different computers and used 3 different web browsers and it never worked. I contacted customer support & they told me to return it to where I bought it (Wal-Mart). Wal0Mart wouldn't return it or exchange it because the package was opened. I received an email today from Rabbit TV informing me that my service is up and being terminated but I can renew now for $10. I contacted rabbit TV and asked "What service?, I have never been able to use the devise and have tried everything possible". They told me that I need to pay $`10 to renew my service and then they will trouble shoot and figure out why it isn't working. I asked why they couldn't do that over the past year when I tried to use it? They had no answer. I told them I don't feel comfortable spending more money just to take a gamble if it will work or not being as I have never been able to use this and see it actually work. They said paying $10 was my only option. I told them I will instead contact the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission and Best Buy Consumer Reports and fraud... I know some say it is only $10 BUT.. as a Disabled Veteran on VERY limited income, $10 is a lot of money to just throw away for me at least... If I could afford to just throw $10 away to buy it and throw another $10 away just to see if there is something wrong.. I'd probably be able to afford cable TV...
Yes not only BBB should stop them but should Federal Burew of Investigation close this fraud
I have it for over a year now, no problems at all.It is a bargain. Joseph Patrinostro
my husband bought it a while ago and I just signed up for it but is said that my expiration date was April of last year now they want to charge me $24.00 to use it Netflix and Hulu are way cheaper than that.
I've been reading through all of bad reviews on here claiming Rabbit TV is a ripoff and/or a scam. Seriously? First off, Rabbit TV doesn't claim to own any of the content, if you look it up you can see they identify themselves as an e-media guide to all the Internets free content. For $10 this thing goes above and beyond expectations. If you were looking for something to replace your cable for only $10 you're dreaming, but Rabbit TV IS actually a useful product. Fantastic library of on-demand TV shows for a low-low price.
below alot of the show the message said --on demand---what's meant by this message?
I ordered this device in May or 2013, got a Confirmation Order from the company but never got the product. I was reminded of this a few nights ago while visiting Fry's Electronics and seeing them being sold for $4.98 - TV or Movie versions - and I became both curious and furious. I did a search on my computer and found their official confirmation, got their number 855-235-2084 and I spoke with a low level employee who was extremely frustrating. I asked for the supervisor and eventually spoke with a Mr. Victor Wright - hope I got that right because his English was terrible - and he could not find my order in the system; could not provide me with an email address to which I would gladly send my confirmation; and he insisted that I give him my credit card information over the phone. He said they had no record of my order and that they could not help me. Yes, the device is a fake since it only provides hyperlinks to sites that already provide free movies. But to take money and provide nothing is criminal. Stay away from these sleaze-usb-wabbits; it's a rickety-wackety-racket.
You can get the Rabbit TV USB dongle literally anywhere and usually cheaper than what the website sells them for. I got mine from Amazon.com for about $7.99 + $2.00 shipping= $10.00. So what? It was worth a try for $10.00 a year. I got it and plugged it into my Mac and everything went perfectly in the set up. After I registered the device, I started looking around. It is much more than hyper links, it is an actual website with a video player, with direct links to the websites that play within the rabbit tv website, it does not open a different window but you stay right where you are. very nice. I started using it testing exactly what I was able to get. I can get actual live streaming internet TV stations that continually play everything from live broadcast television to recorded videos of every kind of tv show you can imagine. One station plays nothing but SciFi movies, another plays horror movies, another plays comedy, drama, thriller, old sit coms. They have the TV stations divided up into different decades from the 60s all the way to the 2000s and beyond.
then there are the movies, most of them come from hulu but so what? the recordedvideos usually come from youtube but again, so what? And its not just one video that plays then stops and you have to search for another and click to start the next one, no, but the automatically keep playing one right after another. Just like regular TV. I found out something very interesting, most of the live news stations are coming from a website called filmon.com, so I went to that website and behold, I hit the GOLD MINE for live streaming internet television. FilmOn.com is an internet TV network bought by a billionaire Greek man who correlated hundreds of live streaming real television stations broadcasting over the internet. I installed their app on my computer and now I can watch literally hundreds of internet television stations in 51 different subjects. most of them broadcast in english.
Anyway I give Rabbit two thumbs up and 10 stars for content and ease of access. I AM VERY GLAD I GOT IT.
Sorry to burst your bubble but you don't need rabbit tv to access these channels you download the apps on there own for no cost yearly or otherwise
Such a waste of money. Anyone who has a computer and knows different sites to watch programs is doing the samething as rabbit tv does.Supposedly free tv with this, wrong.Some stuff would come up and would charge you if you wanted to watch it.
I've wasted money on stuff but nothing compares to paying good money for absolutely nothing
Okay did you ever think that not EVERYONE is computer and tech-savvy enough to figure out ALL the places online that free TV and movies are available? For $10 its really all about convenience. Can most all the links found on Rabbit TV be found elsewhere online? Sure. But the time it would take to compile the library that they already have available (and updated!) would take loads of time. Unless you sit at home all day in-front of the computer (which I am sure most of us don't) it would take forever to do what they have done. So yeah, it could be useful for some people who are willing to pay $10 PER YEAR! (so costly, I know).
Where are you getting $10?? I tried to renew and they now want $25 a year but they'll give an extra year free????
Can't see me going for it after reading all the reviews.
I too never got it up and running when I bought into it three years ago......
I first bought the Rabbit Tv USB plug in at walmart for $9.98 plus tax the first year it worked pretty good, I updated or renewed online for 5 years for $45.00 sounded like a good deal.
I had noticed after my first year Subscription had expired the drop down menu had a bunch of little white writing over it. I just thought it was because my first year subscription had expired But after it was reneed it still done it. I contacted their Tech support by email they sent me instructions on how to fix it. said it was the fonts were too large on my computer. I did everything they instructed me to do to the letter and still no good, They told me to send my USB plug in back to them I did that , first they said no defects in an email, then sent another that it was defective, this started on 12/28/2013 and its 03/07/2014. And still no t able to see anything. I have asked for a refund of my money several times now and I keep getting their BS and runarounds My Patiance has wore out
A dozen e-mail responses to "lost password". All of them are dead links. Selling worthless piece of junk to get your money and to sell your personal info. Please pass the word.
Did you try RabbitTVSpport.com? I know for a fact the live support agents can help recover lost usernames and accounts as well as registered emails.
Immediately it filled my computer with unwanted stuff , slowed my computer 100% and was difficult to navigate through. Their 24/7
help line charged a hefty price to "fix it". I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
Thanks for all of you for your reviews. As a consumer I've always looked into reviewing the products before I make a purchase. All your comments really help. Always look up the item before a purchase. Seems like this product should not even have a star.
The worst piece of crisp I have ever purchased. Unfortunately like talking to dummies. The USB was not compatible for my Mac air, so I requested a download. I did so and had to write back four time to get registered but it took four times for them to understand DOWNLOAD. This crap is going back to the store it came from. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY .WORST EVER
Poor customer service that forces customers to go through endless Chat platform only to have to reiterate same issue over and over again. PIck up the phone and talk to your customers.
i'm here in the us and i cant receive the service anymore.i got a message saying my laptop probably yours too wont support it anymore. i want my money back the rip offs. do not buy or you will be sorry
