DSTV is ****.

terrible ****. Haven't used Dstv in years but got a call saying because I hadn't explicitly canceled it I owed them money. I asked them to email account to me and send me evidence of cancelation when the amount was paid. Email never arrived. Downloaded app to see for myself what they supposed I owed them. Amount had doubled. I paid amount and it showed amount still outstanding. Made a second payment and amount was still outstanding. Made a third payment. At this point I had made well over R1000 for a service I do not use. I called the call center and was given an email to send POP to ask for refund. Email did not exist. Canceled account and asked for email confirmation and never received it. If matter is not resolved am seeing lawyers about contravention of Consumer Protection Act. Do not get DSTV. Not worth it.
