Everytime I send e-mail, they send their customary regret letter and subsequent telephone call from your office. They kept on assuring me to make payment within 15 days since Aug 21, 2007. Even after sending my various e-mail they replied in routine fashion assuring me of early payment and their customer care person even called me in the third week of January'2008 and said that cheque amounting to Rs. 999/- is ready for delivering the same at my office address. But till date , I have not heard anything from their end. Their service is public related service and I feel that such type of behaviour from this type of Company need to be brought to the notice of public in general through the appropriate medium as well as through initiation of appropriate legal proceedings. Also please note that, I tried to close the entire issue in an amicable manner, but, it appears that, they are not interested to close the issues once for all other than sending their hilarious regret mail from time to time.

Need to invest first in Systems and Customer Service before adding new features or buying more companies to make more money! Recently subscribed and all the positivity vanishes the moment your cheque is collected. Ask for a suggestion and they will give an uneducated one! Order a DVD and wait until the delivery boy arrives, or you can call the next morning to check and the reply is its been dispatched. I waited half a day and then called again to check. Now the reply is "SORRY, SYSTEM FAILURE, DVD WAS NOT DISPATCHED" Guess these guys can do with some serious investment in SYSTEMS & CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE if they want to be a leading online rental service. Not sure if the Matrix team gets better service for the millions invested Seventymm – HORRIBLE SERVICE!

Research figures indicate that the home video industry is set to explode exponentially to Rs 2000 crores. Surely with this size of market, there must be enough to go around for 5 to 6 companies in this space. Madhouse exiting to seventymm reeks of who's got more money and not necessarily any synergies. For one we know, that both companies operated the same model. SeventyMM was already in Delhi, surely Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali are not as happening as Delhi is.. So whats the deal? Any idea what the deal size was? ;) Perhaps consolidation is not the right time. Research figures indicate that the home video industry is set to explode exponentially to Rs 2000 crores.
