Explora is *******! Call centre staff of no help

The only ray of hope in this mess is Henberg, the installer. On 12 February 2016 I made the stupidest decision ever! I decided to change our HD PVR decoder & SD PVR decoder for 2 Exploras as DStv's ads say how fabulous this junk is :( The units were installed on Monday 15 January 2016. Since then there has been endless trouble with both hunks of junk (brand new, mind - not refurbished or pre-owned!) Less than 20 hours after installation the 1st decoder froze which affects the 2nd decoder (never had that problem with the other 2 decoders) - so no news or anything else on the Tuesday morning. The installer came back and reset the decoder. Problems with freezing, no apps, etc have now escalated to no TV at all since last night. I was then told off this morning for even thinking about getting the installer to come back. \You must take the decoders to the nearest Multichoice branch for testing, sorry that you won't have any TV for a week, but that's how it is\" I was told by the call centre agent this morning. I was furious so called the switchboard and, no surprise was subjected to condescending behaviour by their GM's office. All round a resounding mess from Multichoice's side."
