DSTV blocks account want payment for decoder on Streamingr
After subscribing to a DSTV streaming service for almost a year (note no decoder), my account was blocked for no reason. When I used the chatbot to make enquiries, I was told that paying an outstanding amount would restore everything. This despite my debit order having gone off. I was told that this amount was for a decoder, which I don't need for the streaming account. They could not tell me the reason for my account being blocked, yet wanted a copy of my ID to open it again. This is nothing but ******ion. I provided the ID copy, yet my account remains blocked!

21 Nov 2025, 21:28One day later and several phonecalls, wasted airtime, while my account remains blocked despite promises to escalate and restore service. Again provided copy of ID and no specific reason given for my account being blocked! Extremely frustrated! At least this time I got a reference number with further promises to fast track my query.
