Explorer is an unreliable product

I bought an explorer 4 years ago in 2012. Then 2 years later in 2014 the harddrive stopped working and I had to go queue at the Costumer service center who said the warranty is only 1 yr so I had to pay about R400 for a refurbished one and trade in the broken one. About 2 years later now in 2016, guess what, the hard drive for that one is now also acting up so I had to make time again to go to their service center and pay another R600 for ANOTHER refurbished decoder. Total piece of C%$p. how can I have to replace a decoder every 2 years?? DSTV is totally unconcerned and their customer service center has NO complaints department on site. They said I had to spend my airtime to call a number to complaint about this stupid device. So now I have spend R3500 on that decoder. Not to mention the R800 i pay every month for my 2 accounts. And insurance for that decode is priced at an amount that equals buying a refurbished decoder every 12 months so there is no point getting that insurance! such a *******. Rampant profiteering because of lack of competition
