Faulty installation

I have been with multichoice for years now and recently I moved to a new location and purchased an explorer, I have been here 5 years and already have had to call in installers 3 times this would be the 4th time I have to call someone, it appeara I have to call out an installer every year to come assist me as the problem I have always happens every years and also follows the same pattern, every year my secondary decoder in the bedroom starts losing signal, it starts off by being channel selective, some channels do not want to tune in, then eventually it moved down to the primary decoder becoming super distorted and requires rebooting now and then, I have had 3 of you accredited installers come out and quiye honesty it’s becoming a rather worthless excercise, do I realy have to pay installation fees every year??? I mean subscription fees are already expensive enough as is and to pay yearly installation fees?? My wall where the dish is has holes in it as every time they move the dish to a different spot, in a few years time I’m not hoing to have a wall left if this persists, as mentioned I’ve already tried 3 different installers yet the problem comes back every year, can Multichoice hmeet me half way im finding a solution to this problem, as now this is starting to be a rather pointless excercise, people have had their installations for years with no problem, yet with me I have to install my dstv every year, 3 different installers have been able to sort the problem out for me, can you atleast help me come up with a solution instead of referring me to different installers every year?? May I request that you send out your own technicians (free of charge) this time, instead of referring me to different installers every year, I have been loyal to Multichoice/DSTV but this excercise has left me powerless and frustrated,if possible can you escalte this request to the highest point, I still have the holes on my walls to show how many times this has had to be done, I would humbly request your assistance because clearly there is a problem here which needs to be resolved, permanently

I took the decoders as advised and nothing wrong with the decoders, instead I got a strange look when I tried to explain what was happening, but in any case, I waited for your phone call as discussed and still nothing

Good day, as per our discussion the installer gave me a call yesterday and not to be negative but he didn’t seem keen to come out lest he promised to come out today and I waited but he didn’t pitch, in our talks he sounded like he’s disputing what I’m telling him, e.g he told me this is not realy a problem, I cannot compare my installation with my neighbours or anyone elses, but then like I mentioned I know people who’ve had DSTV way longer than I have and they have never had to call out an installer since, with me this is the 5th year I’m residing here and this would be the 4th time an istaller comes out....clearly there is an underlying issue here, he further told me my LNB is faulty, I don’t know how he determined that without seeing or testing it, but he didn’t seem keen on coming out but he promised to come out today and I sat here the whole day waiting but nothing...can you kindly call me when you get to the office, so we can have a suitable resolution to this once and for all
