Dstv CatchUp Error with no help from Customer Services.

My Dstv CatchUp has disappeared and it's been showing the message that it's not available in my country since Sunday. I called Dstv customer care on Monday and was told my matter will be escalated to the tech team. It's been days now and I haven't heard back from the tech team and all I received was an sms to rate the service. Why am I paying the Explora monthly fee if I can't even access CatchUp?
