DarkMedia, my experience with them.

by Zagor64

Back in May there was a DarkMedia reseller that was advertising on this sub and I was looking for a back up provider. He advertised $25 for a full year with 5 connections. I said what the heck, i'll give it a shot, it's only $25 so if I get scammed no big deal.

Soon after I purchased the ad was taken down and the reseller got in trouble because he was selling too cheap and was undercutting other resellers, never the less my subscription was working and I had no issues.

The sub had been working until last weekend when suddenly it stopped working. I got just over 4 months out of it so I don't consider it a complete loss but regardless it's a pretty crummy thing to do as a business.

Anyway, while I don't feel scammed, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. The reseller is long gone and he won't return any of my emails but regardless, if you approve a reseller to sell your subs, you should honor those subs. if the reseller sells too cheap that is the provider problem not the customer.

Same story with me too. Had a year showing on my dark media account until DarkOliv3r decided that he wasn't happy with the price I paid from his reseller and decided to cancel it. Darkmedia seem to do this type of thing all the time. Avoid.

Shoot me message mate. While I can’t provide you a whole year, I can give you a month back. Nothing I hate worse than seeing someone scammed.

You're not missing much anyway, its not at all reliable (even now NBCSN is skipping back in time and stalling entirely), if the channels work at all

I 100% agree the reseller is scum but I see this as rant and a waste of time, $25 for 4 months is not a bad deal, that's $6.25 a month. I tried blerd Vison at $5 month for one month, well I'm not with them anymore, I got what I paid for so now I've moved on.

I get that we want a deal or to cut the cable, I'm all for that, come on people I would never expect to pay $2.08 ($25 for 12 months) a month for decent IPTV service, I'm poor but I have expectations in cost. The OP said if they got scam for the $25 no big deal, cool, so why is the OP complaining after getting 4 months out of service.

Move on, if it looks too good to be true chance is its too good to be a decent deal, with IPTV getting disrupted or going shutting down why would you pay for year sub not knowing.. anyhow this is my rant, OP should move on to something else.

similar situation with me. I ordered 1 year subscription with them for 60 USD. I've been using it till last moth and then something happened with DarkMedia team (I don't even want to know). I did not have access over week last month and received an email saying that my subscription has expired. Then couple of days ago I have received an email that they are doing high prioriy maintenance and I have no access anymore. Maybe they are still doing the maintenance or it was just another trick to kick me out, I wouldn't know. I don't even want to know what has happened with them. I would still would go with them if they hasn't kicked me out yet. Anyways I guess I will be looking for another IPTV provider. I missed some snooker tournament because of DarkMedia... Anyways if anybody knows if there is any status update for high priority maintenance please let me know.

If you can't take a loss like that don't pay for a full year. Sure it can work out but they are few and far between. Same applies to "lifetime" subs. But understand "lifetime" only means until they close up shop.

IPTV providers have very little control over resellers. I'm subbed through a DM reseller and I've had no issues. But if they went down I wouldn't go looking for the source to expect them to honor my sub. They don't "approve" the resellers. The resellers are just another customer.
