Good afternoon,
I have been using your DSTV Drifta for many years, and was very happy with the service given.
I had a break in where all devices I used with my drifta were ******. After replacing the ****** items, I was horrified to find that the Drifta has become obsolete.......no app to down load to access DSTV. I was astounded as my account is in credit, and I was not notified at all about the change.
I have been paying R100 a month sporadically to have use of the service. My account is over R1400 in credit.
I went to your head office in Umhlanga Ridge to enquire about a refund. I was told what was needed, which I sent through. After weeks of waiting, I am now told that I will need proof of Payment, bank statements from last year......I have submitted the ones I paid from my banking app, for this year. To get a bank statement going back to last year will cost me R332,89........I am not prepared to outlay this money.
You MUST have all my payment records.....I do not see why I should have to pay so much for bank statements to give to you guys, for a service that I have been paying loyalty for years, only to find out that it not longer exists, and was not notified....!
I have been messed about by your consultants for almost a month, as they do not reply when e mailed.
This is extremely frustrating......PLEASE can you process the refund......check all my billing info from your side, as like I previously said that I am not paying the exorbitant bank fees for a statement.
Thank you,
Look forward to your reply,
Regards Brian

Dear Briani,
It is with regret that we learn of the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced with our service. Please accept our sincerest apologies in this regard.
We do not need all the proof of payments as the payment do reflect on our system. Kindly send your ID copy and one bank statement for verification of the refund.

We do not support Driftas anymore, hence you will not be able to get software updates or use the Drifta app as it is no longer available on the play stores.
When MultiChoice launched its mobile TV service in 2010, the technology was fresh and new. Over the last few years, technologies and standards have evolved as broadband access continues to grow. This has resulted in the supply of our mobile TV devices becoming limited.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
