 Every family should have one! September 3, 2010
MKM (Arizona, USA)
Awesome product for families and folk wishing to cut out scenes. Does not modify your discs.
You won't really notice the scenes getting skipped. Profanity and the use of God's name are just muted out.
VERY Granular in filtering out content. You can watch a blood and guts movie and filter out all the usages of God's name or any romance scenes. (or vise versa) Several filtering categories to choose from. New filters are available for a monthly subscription of about $9/month.
Never had a problem, but membership facts should be clarified August 31, 2010

I absolutely love my ClearPlay DVD player. I have owned it for close to a year and never had a problem with it. I rent from Blockbuster, Redbox, etc., and I've never rented a movie for which a filter was not available.
I see that many people on Amazon are upset about ClearPlay's membership policies, and I agree that it is not made clear on their website that if you don't continue your membership, you can't continue to use the filters. This should definitely be clarified. The salesperson I spoke with when first purchasing my player made sure I understood that the filters could no longer be used once my membership expired. Although this means I have to keep my membership current, I understand their business model... how will they make money when people only purchase a 1 month membership, download all the filters they can, and then quit?
Occasionally ClearPlay has specials where you can extend your membership for a lower rate, so if you take advantage of the specials, you pay a lot less in the end.
For my family, it is totally worth the money to avoid the toxic content many movies contain.
 ClearPlay Upconvert is Choppy - Also Lack of Movie Filters August 17, 2010

I recently purchased ClearPlay to watch some filtered movies. Movies are choppy when using the HDMI cable with upconvert...I guess this player can't support a good-quality movie while filtering.
I was also disappointed by the fact that some current 'R' rated movies have not been added to the ClearPlay system. I'm paying about $8 per month for this service too, so I would expect nearly all movies to be added.
Overall, don't buy this player if you expect it have a decent upconvert.

I bought the player last summer and got the free membership with it. We used it to edit the movies but also use it as a regular player. After the first month was over, I received a call asking me to renew the membership. I couldn't at the time and told the representative that I already had all the filters I wanted. He then told me that I would have to pay an additional 20 dollars on top of the monthly fee to re-activate my account when I could. It seemed honest enough. Within a week of the 90 Day Warranty expiring, the player stopped working. I would insert a disc and it would spit it back out. I called customer service and they sent me some files to my e-mail to put on the filter stick to fix the problem. What they didn't tell me was that these files would delete my filters and not fix the problem. When I called them back they said they couldn't help me unless I paid them 70 dollars for a year of membership. I told them to forget it and decided to see if I could fix the problem myself. I opened up the player and didn't see anything wrong but it did start reading the discs again. About a month ago I got a monthly membership to get my filters back. Before the month was over I called them to cancel the membership. Now suddenly I couldn't use the player without the membership, which is not what I was told the first time. They made me get my filter stick and delete the files. They then accused me of not deleting the files because they didn't hear the "bing" through the phone. I told them I had a sleeping one year old in the house and had the computer speakers down low. They then accused me of downloading more filters while I was on the phone with them. I only went on their website to get the customer service number. I have since read all the information that came with the product and it doesn't say ANYTHING about needing a membership to use the player. It also didn't say anything about that on the advertising (T.V., Radio, Internet, etc.) for the product.
Additional information added September 1st: Canceled subscription on July 28th. Just checked bank account and more money was taken out on July 31st and August 31st. Called Clearplay and got an answering machine.

Very much liked the idea of Clearplay, especially as the content of newer films becomes heavily oriented towards sadistic violence, profanity and blasphemy, and sexual material. However, the Clearplay and the filter downloads never worked, not even once. Phone calls for assistance resulted in no fixes.
Not only that, but movies were rented using Clearplay's system of serial numbers that were supposed to be coordinated with the filters, and when the machine said "Cannot find filters for this video" we were out the rental fees.
Hoping that the system starts working dependably.
