Decoder not playing after loadshedding

Worst service iam receiving from Multichoice,i have been having an issue with my explora decoder,its 1 & half week now,decoder not playing aftr loadshedding keeps on scanning and switching off ,i called multichoice several times with no assistance,i took my decoder to Maponya walk in centre i was told the decoder does not have a problem,the lady told me she flushed everything it will be fine i asked her to give me a new one since i have insurance she told me they dont have stock,when i got home decoder only played for few hours then started rebooting and switching off,ihave tried to engage with someone on their social platform im a told again to take it back to the nearest walk in centre which is time consuming,iam fustrated iam unable to watch tv while i pay for the service and insurance,i get no joy from Multichoice

Hi Zandi,

Please see the feedback below.

Kindly note, I tried contacting the customer to confirm the completion of the claim request for her faulty device to no avail. 
Please note I've gone ahead and processed it, customer will receive an SMS notification once an installer has been allocated to the claim. TAT is 2 to 5 working days.

Kind Regards,

Best regards,
