<p>It is incredibly frustrating to be paying for a service you are NOT receiving!!!! -- every month!!</p> <p> </p> <p>We installed the DsTV explora, and throughout the year experienced many different problems with the system. THe most recent problem (going on for a few months now) is the harddrive showing error - this error results in the catch-up and box-office not being available, as well this harddrive error means that all recordings on the watchlist are unavailable! WHy do we have this??? This is apparently not a unique problem- it is quite often that we hear stories of people experiencing this. </p> <p> </p> <p>To top it off- DsTV cannot- or do not help! When we call the only options available once you enter your smart card id is to subscribe for 24 months (NO THANK YOU- I OBVIOUSLY ALREADY HAVE THE SERVICE IF I ENTERED MY CARD ID), to buy the explora (ALREADY DID) or to subscribe to the gold something. REally?! No help, no consultants, no care-- that is DsTV's customer service motto... oh wait-- and self-service... What a farce, self service that only tells you 99 % of the problem is lighting and electrical spikes... We have the lighting/search protector on the plug.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you DsTV for delivering a phenominal service and really truly having high standard of products---- you really brought our family closer together just like your adds.... (Incase you coulnd't detect the sarcasm dripping in that statement--- THANKS FOR NOTHING but SUCKY service and SUCKY products)...</p> <p> </p> <p>Yours truly, </p> <p>Rene</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

We tried to contact you today but could not reach you.
According to our records, your Explora decoder has been swapped today.
This should improve the technical issue you have. Also, the DStv Catch Up and BoxOffice titles should load within 48 to 72 hours. The signal strength and quality for all Tuners (1-3) should range between 95% to 100%.
Should the problem still persist regardless of the correct signal strength and quality. Please have the installation checked by an accredited DStv installer.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Dinah
