Beware special offers from Dstv, they impact Showmax.

Signed up for a "special" premium package with Dstv. Big mistake! Latest problem with this is that my Showmax subscription has been canned and I am unable to "restart" or "activate" it. Whichever method I attempt returns an error, "payment was declined" or "We are unable to add Showmax to your DStv account at this time. " Dstv self-service gives similar results. Call centre is useless, just get copy/paste nonsense from them and promises of "escalation", which translates to the issue being totally ignored. Hello peter seems also to be of little use as an escalation mechanism now, since it also elicits no response.
