Toys and Games Reviews of InteracTV DVD System Compilation In-Pack
Customer Review: InteracTV poorly made/Wouldn't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
We received the Fisher-Price InteracTV DVD system for Christmas and I have to say that it has been a disappointment. I am very pro-technology and thought this would be a good learning tool for my kids. Instead, it is a poorly designed system which I could not get to work on any of our DVD players. I tried the enclosed manual to find the DVD player code, the manual process of going through every code, and even the latest codes posted on the Fisher-Price website without any success. Although the system recognized the controller, it did not recognize any of the buttons and putting in the test sheet gave different results each time, from starting the next game to opening the DVD player. When I tried the telephone support, they were closed...nice move on Christmas day when all the presents would be opened.
Overall, I think Fisher-Price needs to have either a better designed product, better quality control or better customer support system. Since I could not get this system to play on any of my DVD players, I can't comment on how great it is, but it is certainly not easy to use.

I asked my son's grandmother to buy this product for my 2 year old. We have a less tahn 2 year old DVD player and this product does not work with it. It does work with our portable DVD player. Here is the thing....When you call Fisher Price, the recording says something like "We are experiencing heavy volume calling. Please call back at another time". This has been since Christmas Day and today is January 5th. At tis point we may just have to go out and buy a cheap DVD player just to use this product. I am very disappointed in FP for not at least answering the line. I will never ever buy another FP Product. They launched a product that requires more tech support than installing batteries and they can't handle it. This is poor customer relations. Thank goodness for Leap Frog and other companies that offer better learning toys anyway.
Just make sure you know this product works with your DVD player before buying it!!
I give FP a big Zero and a middle finger!! As far as my rating is concered, You have to check at least 1 star to get this submitted.
Customer Review: THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

Please know that this system does not work with all DVD players. I have a DVD VCR combo system and IT DOES NOT WORK!!!! I thought that this would be something that my 4 year old would like as he likes to play the games that come on his DVD's. However, I was not able to get it to work with our system. I called Mattel's hotline number in the user guide and was told that due to high call volume that I could not get help and to call back. The call was the terminated by Mattel. I went to the web site for help and went through the many steps (the same that are in the book) and still had no luck. Mattel will send you a voucher for another Mattel toy (like I want one now) once you send them the very horrible toy back. I also had bought other DVD game for this as well and wonder how I am to return it. There is no information on what to do with those and as it is open what to do.
DO NOT BUY THIS TOY!!!!MATTEL HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THIS GAME!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!! IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR MONEY AWAY SEND IT TO ASIA AND HELP PEOPLE.
Customer Review: Much better then a game based system...

We had decided that we were going to purchase a "learning system" for our son for his birthday. We checked out everythng, including V Smile, and chose this. Our son, who is three, LOVES it! It is not a game, but is truly an interactive experience. The questions change with each viewing, and the answers are not in the same place either, so I know my son is learning. Fisher Price has addressed the programming problems, our unit came with an "addendum" on how to solve the problems. We did, however, set it up the night before AJ's party, and I am glad we did. It would not work with our oldest DVD player, which is five years old, but it did work with the two newer models we have. He has since received the Dora game and the SpongeBoob game, and both are very entertaining. I am just hoping (big time) that Fisher Price will release more titles soon. Barney is forbidden in our home, as Mommy can't stand him, and we can't find the Sesame Street or Blue Clues. If Fisher Price does come through with more titles, this will be a toy my son will use for years.Customer Review: Thanks for Nothing Fisher Price

My wife purchased this for our children. We have a two year old and four year old boy. We brought the thing home on a Saturday and the kids were VERY excited. The kids help me open the box, and are ready to go, but I have to program the thing first. After inserting the programming card, and reinserting, and reinserting, waiting for two blinks when I'd only get one, then trying the manual programming for 15 minutes.....
Needless to say, I was extremely frustrated. Fisher Price offers an 800# to call for help but they are only available from 8AM - 6PM Monday-Friday. Ever hear of work Fisher Price??? You know, that thing I have to do to make the $$ for this product???
Thanks for a frustrating experience which ended with my kids fighting and me sloppily throwing this thing back in the box to return to the store.
And by the way, I work with computers all day at work, it's not like I don't know how to work technology.
I would strongly discourage people from considering this product.
