Yelp.com Review - by Christina B.

1.0 of 5 stars. OMG, why can't I give negative stars? (What would those be? Super novas? Black holes?)This is the single worst cable service in the entire history of EVER. Seriously, $70 per month for two cable boxes...

TV Max - Only If You Like Watching Pixels

I'd like to take a moment telling you just how much your cable service at TV Max s*cks. Yes, s*cks like piglets on a sow's teat. Since installing the new digital cable box as part of the Congressional mandate...

Yelp.com Review - by Edgar V.

1.0 of 5 stars. Incompetence made easy! TV Max is second-rate on so many levels. They are second-rate on channel lineup, second-rate on reliability, second-rate on system upgrades, and second-rate in tormenting its...

Nobody Showed to Install, Never Called

I made an online appointment with them for Tuesday to install cable, some time in the morning between 8 and 12. Nobody ever came and nobody called to say why. I have never heard from them. Guess what everyone...

Worst Company to Ever Exist on the Planet. E-mail Scams are a Better Value.

I had to make an account on CitySearch to say just how horrible this company is. I currently live in Sugar Land, but I am having to move to a different complex because i did not research the internet company....

TVMax....Not Really Worth a Rating Star

I moved to Camden at Vanderbilt and was informed TV Max was the only TV cable service allowed in the complex. Right after I moved in, TV Max upgraded to "XD digital". I lost service while the upgrade was...

The last straw

My cable went out after Ike. It was still out 1.5 months later (no kidding). They tried to fix it at first--sort of--then they stopped bothering. I rescheduled service appointments half a dozen times, even to...

Worst service EVER, Avoid if at all possible. Check the "dedicated" provider to appts FIRST

I do not have a TV, so I depend on internet for news, entertainment, etc. I have called TVMAX service department 9 times in one week. You can not get in touch with the "Service Dispatch" after 6pm. I know I...

I had a good experience! XDTV pictures are great.

When I called to install they offered to come out the next day. Same thing when I had an issue with my digital box. Simple fix, unplug the power and back in and it worked great. I had two other companies where...

HIGHWAY ROBBERY

I agree with all of you who have said that TV Max is the worst. I too lived in an apartment complex (The Villages At Meyerland) where there was no choice, no options. We looked into Dish, but the apartment...

TVMAX IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. If I wasn't forced to use this God-awful, moronic, monopolistic excuse for a company, I would drop them in a heartbeat. I can't believe a company can get away with using the ancient...

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CRAPPY CRAPPY COMPANY

I'd have to say it's pretty sad that a cable company stinks so freaking bad that I would avoid moving into another place if TvMax was the only cable company available. THAT SAYS A LOT! Read all the freakin'...

TV MAX HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED BY FAR

Shockingly terrible and ancient service.

I don't even know where to start in criticizing so lets just make a list. 1. No HD Service. Yes, that's right. There's still a cable provider out there that does not offer HD programming. I've asked about it...

how is this company still in business?

Oh that's right - they suckered several apartment complexes to sign 25 year contracts. A quick way to sum up this terrible service is to check out the website that looks like it was designed by a 5th grader....

Sell your stock.

Run. Sell your stock. Move if you must. Before you rent in Houston, make absolutely sure that there are options. Billing does not match what you signed up for. I thought I had a deal. $60 a month. I've had...

TV Max is the reason why I am moving out of my apartment.

First off, every month since February my paper bill has been different than the amount I am told to pay when I call in to pay over the phone. I'd say about a $15-20 difference. Every month I have to explain to...

Not a company, but a scam.

No need to go into the details of not having service for 3 weeks after paying for everything they asked for and wasting hours in my apartment waiting for the TVMax technician Unicorn that does not exist....

TVMax is the worst

Been a TVMax "customer" for 2 years now. 1) The cable sometimes goes out and sometimes channels we pay for we don't get. 2) They bill us 5 days before we get paid and cut off our service for non-payment EVERY...

Never, never, never use this company

I won't repeat what other negative reviewers have said. I agree with all of them. But this company's latest scheme is even worse than bad service. TVMax is "upgrading" its service. Or so they say. Actually,...

TVMAX - a bit of information

This is mainly directed at the guy saying that TVMAX is great. TVMAX is not really a company anymore. They are based in Houston, but that is only because the CEO lives in Houston and he works out of his living...

The worst in customer service. They will fail.

They use a secondary company for internet, their cable doesn't have the benefits of Time Warner. Run if you can. I now use DSL, and am working on getting satalite, because my complex only uses these dummies!

If you can, choose someone else

Miserable service. What else is there to say? If you have the option (unfortunately, in some apt complexes you don't), purchase the service from someone else.
