Still the worst back up service imaginable

Multichoice recently changed a lot of their channels around.My HDPVR had no problem but my expensive Explorer listed the sports channels all over the place and not in order. After having spoke to two agents who insisted that I hard boot my decoder, the more I explained that load shedding has taken care of that they weren't interested. They couldn't help assist any further. At the third try a helpful lady called me back and had me check all the settings and we reset the decoder to the original default settings. This sorted out the programmes in the correct numerical order. However, the next day, my decoder wouldn't tune into the sport, news and weather channels when the Ok button is pushed. I called the help desk (Mafulatsha) who refused to call me back as he was supposedly in the call centre that couldn't call out, even though I could clearly hear his family in the background.He was most unhelpful and kept repeating ad nauseum that the signal strength was fine therefore the hard drive was faulty, even though I never had this problem before. I repeatedly asked for us to re-check all the settings which he refused to do. I drove all the way to the Randburg offices , arriving at 1701 and the gates were closed. What do I do now? My time spent on the phone to 4 different agents has cost me an inordinate amount of my time AND airtime. I find this state of affairs totally unacceptable.

I reported this UNRESOLVED matter on Wednesday 9 Sept on Hello Peter due to the fact that their agent are *********** and also lie.The promised feedback has not happened after all this is the third day.I have at great expense of my time and trouble and wasted many minutes of my airtime and petrol. The one agent helped me reset the frequencies on my decoder, which as I found out today were overlapping and causing connectivity issues. The next agent was totally unhelpful and rude and point blank refused to assist me in checking the frequencies, saying the decoder was faulty. Upon enquiry I was told your offices at Randburg were open until 1900 hours.I arrived at 1701 and everything was closed. I spoke to yet another ******** consultant today, and after having been told AGAIN that your offices open until 1900 they were wrong. When I asked the one agent to call me back as it was using up my airtime, he **** saying he couldn't call out from the call centre when I could hear kids in the background. I went back to Randburg today and was assisted by Mathala Magabame who was courteous and very professional and knowledable. He reset the frequencies and now my ongoing nightmare is over. Your consultants have no idea how to resolve problems as I have had maybe six different answers, most of which were ridiculous. Training should be part and parcel of their skill set and if they cannot assist they shouldn't be in contact with your customers
