DSTV NOW - problem -bad to none service
So after my Hellopeter complaint (copied below once again) on the 5th of November, Amanda phoned me on Friday the 6th of November and try to help - she asked me to reply on an e-mail she will send with some pictures of my problem. I immediately did that, but the e-mail came back as undelivered.
This I then put on a review on Monday the 9th of November and up until now - I heard nothing again. Is there ANYONE that can assist me with a DSTV NOW problem, or Amanda - can you please contact me again so we can resolve this query.

Also, if you look back at our chat - the device ID you were begging for I've send 9:45 already - It was also on the photo I've send you. • I cannot believe you cannot assist from your side 4 minutes ago Setlhage • Unfortunately there is nothing we can assist on our side, you need to do it from your side • I will escalate this matter to hellopeter, looks like it's the only way you get help. Pay a lot om money for DSTV and then we cannot use it properly, I had no problem to registre my MiBox on my other TV - I am sure it's got something to do with the previous profile this TV was linked to - but as I said, if I logg into that one, go to manage devices, I'm also not seeing this TV, so i cannot delete it of there. a minute ago Setlhage • Are you still on chat? • Pity, looks like the guys from Showmax are more willing to help. now • • New Messages •
Setlhage • Okay • Thank you for contacting DStv Live Chat. If that's all for today, have a great day further
