Dstv customer specific products

Hi, I have been a premium customer for a couple of years now and I recently requested dstv to link another decoder that is not in the same house and I was told I have to take a new package. It is so unfortunate that such is expected of me because I would think dstv is aware of it's competitors offerings. For such a secondary package I am not even offered a discount or anything. However, dstv allows streaming on multiple devices at different locations within the same package, then why must I take a new package if I have a decoder. I think dstv is stagnant on old ways of collecting revenue and have no regard of customer requirements or nor they analyse customer usage data. If you note, my usage on the premium has been less than 10% and yet I continued to pay. When I ask to add something, I am not it will be treated as a new package and will be billed fully. I am not surprised the company is under revenue pressure if they fail to simple listen to customers and give customers what they want. If I do not get a response to this complaint, I will gladly cancel my account and use other platforms.
