Multichoice? Choose Netflix

A week ago I switched decoders from my home decoder to my holiday home decoder and used the Catch Up and recording functions daily. Suddenly, today the PVR functions were blocked, because I owe them R62.44. The problem is, that I don't owe them anything. I have signed a debit order. They take what I owe them directly from my account on the 29th of each month. I had to call in from my cell phone and hang on at my cost for 30minutes, while they try to sort out their mess. Fortunately I have a separate Netflix account which worked fine. So, if you are still wondering; DSTV or Netflix? I will take Netflix any time. They have not once accused me falsely that I owe them money. Multichoice is an embarrassment.

So, what does that mean to me. Where did the credit suddenly come from? One moment you stop my PVR functions, because you say I owe you money, the next you tell me that I have a credit. Do you know what day of the week it is? Pathetic!!
I have wasted 30 minutes of airtime and most of the already recorded series and programs I still want to view has been deleted from Catch Up. I now have to download them using my wifi data. As far as I can see, it is a loose-loose situation for me!! How are you going to reimburse me for all your mistakes?
I would also have expected a live person to call me. This hiding behind the internet and social media is not doing your image any good!
