<p>I paid my premium as I had missed a payment. I connected my DSTV and to mu suprise it gave me an error E04-4 please insert smart card even yhought it was inserted. I tried the self service however I still had that error showing on my screen. I called the call centre on Sunday. the consultant kept telling me to take out the smart card and gently clean it and insert it again but the error was there. I spent R60 of airtime calling them each and everyday. I have paid my account and yet my DSTV is not connected. I want my money back and have it disconnected because I have paid for something for nothing. </p>
