*********** Service DSTV

Such very bad service, I really think it is better to rather just use Netflix and Showmax, dstv not worth the money or hassle. Today 28 December 2020 - our explorer decoder keeps "rebooting" we phoned and where told because we took out insurance that we pay every month (and our account is always paid about a month in advance) we could take it to local agent in Klerksdorp. We got there (mind you 36 degree heat) waited outside in line for 30min. By 12:45 the lady told us that we are going to get a new decoder she just needs to do a swop. Bam... offline. Told us to come back in a bit. About 13:30 we went back. Stood in line for 30min in heat again but it did not budge, so left again. 14:45 went back again. By 15:15 my husband is helped, but they cant do the swop because we have extra view! So they cancel it but it does not register on dstv side. By 15:30 he left and the lady said she would phone as soon as it is sorted. Got home now our extra view decoders (that had absolutely no fault this morning, the fault was on explora) is not working. Phone dstv customer service, we are told that on our cost we should get installer out (NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM THIS MORNING IT IS SOMETHING DSTV DID!!!!!) THE AGENT ON THE LINE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL!!!! The problem was only with the explora that kept rebooting during the day for the last few days. So tonight only the explora is working our other decoders apparently now needs to be "installed" again. Tell me why should I pay for something that was not broken before dstv worked on it???? Had to waste a half days leave already to sort this out. Customer care said they would call vack it is now 20:00 and still waiting. Why pay the insurance and premium monthly for such ****ty service....?

Seems you phoned 2 times this morning, but only let it ring once each time. So it "looks" like you tried to resolve the issue. My husband went back to agent spoke to someone again regarding other decoders but they said everything seems fine on dstv side we should have it checked. Almost a full days leave time money wasted on incompetence. He phoned now again out of frustration and the person cleared the error code. The one extra view the works but the other not. When it is cleared on the other decoder the first one has the error. Have call costs for over an hour at least, the current call my husband is on (and he has been on hold for 5min) is 20 minutes. Plus had to drive up and down to agent 4 times and leave cost for a day. Think it is time to take legal action. Please provide me with your formal complaint departments details.

Please send me a private massage or email for my husbands details. He was now on hold for 25 minutes and the call was just dropped. So he is going to phone yet again.

Suddenly this last customer service agent fixed the errors in 5 minutes. She was the first properly trained one. The problem was on dstv side all the time. I need that info for legal complaint for all the costs involved to fix a problem caused by dstv.
