 Good Concept, Terrible hardware December 4, 2008
My husband and I loved the idea of this filtering and my husband especially was exited to catch up on all of the movies we didn't see but otherwise would have if certain things were filtered out. We recieved the player and set up and downloading of filters was easy enough, but three months later, the hardware itself just wouldn't turn on. (and we only used it about once a week with me working full time and him in grad school) We contacted clearplay and they told us they'd send us a new one. Three weeks later, we called them up and they had no record of us calling and apologized and told us again they'd send us a new one...(long story short), it wasn't until three months later that we recieved our new one. And within two months, IT broke!! I was ready to give up and demand our money back, but my husband, still anxious to catch up on a few more movies, wanted to try once more. Well, this is our third clearplay DVD player and we've only had it for three months working, and same story- it just WON'T turn on!! I wish there was a company that would compete with Clearplays concept that made better hardware. The actual make of the DVD player is HORRIBLE and their customer service isn't much better. I don't know what they'll say this third time we call them now demanding a full refund. This is ridiculous! Don't buy this product unless you are willing to go through a hassle!

This is one of the best pieces of A/V equipment I have ever bought! We now own three of these clearplay dvd players. They are a little tricky to learn at first, so I don't recommend them for the techno-challenged, but they are great for your whole family to watch PG-13 movies without all the crap. Basically we are watching edited airline versions of movies now, and if my older kids want to watch movies with more of the violence or whatever I can fine tune the settings and let them. Great product!
Huge disappointment November 4, 2008
My husband got me this DVD player for my birthday. We had been talking about getting one for months and were excited to finally have one. After opening it we ran into problem after problem. First thing we noticed is although swearing, nudity, and violence are cleaned up blasphemy is still rampant in several of the videos we watched. After that we noticed that the first video played really well, but the second one would start pixelating about half way through the movie. The final straw was that the sound went out on the player completely.
The product itself feels and appears cheaply made. We experienced the same as a previous reviewer in that the remote worked sometimes and sometimes it didn't. Customer service was not the best. The website is frustrating to work in. All in all it was just a huge disappointment.

The Clearplay DVD player works and filters in a subtle way. I can now watch movies in my home that I wouldn't have allowed before - Many movies are entertaining except for a few scenes that the movie producers insisted on including in an otherwise family movie. Clearplay effectively removes these scenes according to how I have it set. Great Product! You should order it.
Worst service, software, hardware, I have ever experienced August 11, 2008

The Clearplay has clearly been the worst consumer experience I have ever experienced. I have experienced problems with every aspect of their product. These problems include website malfunction, unclear instructions, non-responsive telephone tech support, uneducated tech support both through e-mail and telephone, a corrupt filter stick (how does this happen out of the box?), software that doesn't work and is extremely difficult to use (both PC and Mac solutions are horrible), and DVD player that is both cheap and non-functioning (after two replacements a product should work)! What a fantastic idea but implementation has been nothing but a nightmare. I have spent over 20 hours of my precious time trying to get this product to work. It just hasn't. I would not purchase this product, nor recommend doing any business with their company. I can't even cancel my membership over the phone because their phone system doesn't work properly. I have had to call my credit card company to put a stop payment on their monthly service.
If you enjoy headaches, this is the product for you.
