You are making me want to give up

In March 2022, I decided to try and setup my DSTV Premium Account again. I still had an Explora Decoder that I could use, so I wanted to find out how to set it up again. I spend about a day going back and forth with someone named NG on Facebook trying to understand why this is was such a process. Eventually, I said that this was too much of a process and I would look for an alternative. So, on 15 March I setup a DSTV Premium Streaming Subscription. It seemed the simpler and easier option. I got an email the next day saying that I could connect Showmax and get access for free. That was a mission on its own to get my DSTV and Showmax linked. I was then told I needed to pay another amount today of R286, which I paid. I didn't understand what the amount was for after I had already made a payment on 15 March and subsequent payments to DSTV and Showmax. Straight after I made the payment, a message popped up telling me I now owed another R1,658 to DSTV. I asked the person I was talking to on Twitter how on earth I now owe this much, when a DSTV Premium Streaming Package is R699 for 3 months. The person told me that my DSTV Premium Decoder Package had been activated, so now I have: 1. Streaming Premium Package 2. Showmax (Which should be free as part of the package now - but I have paid for) 3. Decoder Premium Package

I am not setting up my decoder, I am not going to use it, and somehow you want to charge me for it when I didn't finalise any of it.

Please help me out here guys. My experience in just a week and half has been absolutely terrible. I honestly want to give up on DSTV again.

Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. It's more so that if there are issues on your side you can look into, because I have noticed other people dealing with a lot of frustrations, which are most likely bugs and glitches in the code on the systems on your side. Hopefully your team can look into the bigger issues and resolve them so that people are not having these unpleasant experiences.
