DSTV Explora - Still not working!

On Saturday, 18 July we upgraded our HD PVR to a new Explora. We activated the new smartcard by calling in to the call centre and following all the right procedures. We were welcomed by the Call Centre to Explora. As explained, we waited the 48 hours for all updates and downloads to take place, no problem. One week later we tried to access Box Office to rent a movie and got an error message to say we needed to register the smartcard. So we followed instructions to register. Error message back to say that DSTV was experiencing technical difficulties and we should try again later. Which we did. 5 tries later, we called. We were then put through to Box Office who told us we should try again in 30 minutes as they were experiencing technical difficulties. Which we did. A few times. No luck. On Saturday, we phoned in and was advised that our smartcard was not registered. One hour later the problem was escalated to a Supervisor Godfrey who promised to call back - no such luck. Our DSTV services then got disconnected. We called in and was told by the Call Centre that we were not a DSTV subscriber. Still no services. Still not fixed. Refund on my Explora? Goodbye DSTV!
