dstv n explorer
Dstv advertisement about the explorer decoder, is false they say on the explorer, the catch up will record some series n movies but those series are not up dated, only the south African ones are. Plus I think dstv making us south African pay for all they other countries African countries that they giving discount to. I am on dstv extra n in passed months 5 channel closed but I paying same amount
3 channel with same thing at same time
Mars, season 1, episode 1, on channel's 125, 181 and 182, and at the same time, 20h05.
How is it possable to have three channels, at the same time, broadcasting the exact same program?
Surely there must be better viewing material available for the other two channels, refering
To channel 181, and 182 at the same time?
Whats next?
Reruns ?
Five channels with the same thing at the same time?
bad signal for paying 850 rand a month
All the movie channels dont work the error keep showing bad signal but then howcome the other channels work properly...this is a rip off im furious at this and they just get away with it! i want to know am i going to pay cheaper as i cannot watch the channels i pay for! This people get to throw stinking service for so much money...i logged the error 40 minutes ago ans still no reply.
I will be ending this poor service right now

cricket for rest of africa
I noted that you recently removed the games of SA Cricket current tour of Australia from the SS2A where we previously used to enjoy the matches, but you kept showing us WI vs PAK cricket or Eng vs India.
Whats more important for ROA is also an African Country! Why remove the SA matches and keep the India matches etc. Can you please resort to your previous schedule and show us all the cricket matches.

explora and series
Good day
We are paying full compact of DSTV this past month the explora service has extremely deplited. We have called multichoice and they qill make us look like fools that they have loaded programmes.
DSTV is not taking us seriously this us false representation. Greys anotomy takes hours or days to be loaded, queen sugar worse. Lethal weapon worse.
The worse part about DSTV you will be watching and enjoying a series and after 4 weeks of play is on production break.
Empire after four series on productio break
Lethal weapon
Chicago Med also
House maids been on production break after five series.
What is happening multichoice if you cant keep up let clients know and stop charging exbident fees and with service that trully sucks.
Take your service seriously or you will loose people buying this explora you cant keep up
catch up service
I don't know what is going on at multichoice lately. But this kind of service is unacceptable. Why are they not updating catchup on explorer? Grey's anatomy hasn't been updated for the past two weeks. Sports hadnt been updated in 3 days... Really? If this is happening this time of the year and people are getting lazy to do their jobs. Make a service that we pay for available. I hate to see what will happen in dec, where companies operate with skelton staff. I'm just p*d off. I don't record certain programs because they are on catchup and then I have to deal with this crapp. Y'll need to get yourselves together. Nx!
no service or feedback on payments made
On the 27/10/2016 I made a payment of R1000 with the wrong reference number on the 28/10/2016 I phoned the call centre and spoke to a consultant Wendy Hermans she confirmed that she received the proof of payment and that she will escalate this week I phoned again because I noticed that no allocation has been made, I spoke to Neliswe Dube mailed again and she also confirmed that she received the proof of payment today is Friday and I still have not received any feedback. Is this your level of service?
catchup on dstv
I think its incredibly unfair that I have to pay the exorbitant premium package fee and on top of that I now have to pay for wi-fi as well if I want to view certain mainstream programs on Catchup, because they are not available unless your explora is connected to the internet! All last episodes of popular shows on channel 101 and 102 should be available to view on Catchup without an internet connection. They are simply taking advantage of their loyal clients. I am paying for a service that I am not receiving.
programming
Multichoice needs to seriously look into their programming content as there's nothing but reruns continously on. Paying 780rand a month for the full package and having to watch the same shows over and over again is rather disappointing and theres packages that cost more so subscribers are simply paying for reruns.
There should be no excuse like they do not control the channels programming and simply air whats provided because multichoice as a service provider that gets paid for service needs to start taking interest in programming and customer satisfaction. Deals like price lock and upgrading is waste of time because although you may get a few extra benefits youl still be recorded or watching the same thing they airing over and over. Fair enough box office is a good idea but for me to fork out extra besides the exhorbant amount I pay now makes no sense.
dstv premium parental viewing
Why does dstv automatically bleep certain programmes of which the language they deem inappropriate? I am tired of living like a child in my own home while I am a bachelor who pays for the premium service like any other customer. If parents want to prevent their children from hearing or seeing inappropriate content, they should access the parental blocking and not allow dstv to decide for us which programmes they want to bleep.
Change your parental settings on your box.
getting rid of programmes
Even thought this might seem a supersport specific complaint the fact that multichoice allows supersport to have a monopoly on sports channels on DSTV is dissapointing. First they get rid of ESPN then allow supersport to get rid of the American sports such as NBA which we want. I feel like the voice of the people isn't listened to its so frustrating to the extent that I'm thinking of finding ways to get a new entertainment vessel other than DSTV so at least people can watch what they like...
Please cater for everyone...we want to watch the NBA...adverts have been there stating that NBA will resume in October, this influenced me to subscribe to the DStv premium package but nothing is being shown for basketball...please fix this as it is unfair that everyone is catered for and not basketball fans...please please please
I strongly agree with you Keletso. I wake up the morning of the 25th of October after following the NBA pre season online and avidly waiting for the season to start, I tune into Supersport Blitz to check out the results of the first day and nothing, yesterday and today the same thing. We basketball fans are not catered for, every other sport has their own channel but not basketball. Even on supersport active, there is no basketball option to select. I really am very disappointed in Supersport for not keeping their word, they have been advertising since July and telling us that the NBA will resume in October and nothing. Please bring ESPN back.
no communication if account is in arrears. just hand you over to vericred.
How can multi choice just plain hand me over to Vericred, this after they never contacted me to let me know my account is in arrears?!
I have suspended my account early this year already. And NEVER received ANY! Type of communication about any amount outstanding and now all of a sudden (without my consent), handing me over to Vericred and making my credit record bad. Who the heck do they think they are?!
There's just too many repeats we are always watching the same things I don't know why we always pay every month if we have to watch repeats.
dstv explorer on compact rebooting every 3rd minute on 9th and 10th october 2016.
Utter Disregard for Customers
y DSTV Explorer kept on rebooting from Sunday morning 9th October 2016 and when I tried to call Multichoice, their lines were busy. Went through their 'Self' service to put in my information and query, however no call back received. All I got from their site was that if it is a signal issue, I should contact an accredited DSTV Installer which I did. The installer arrived on Monday 10th October at 16h30 in the afternoon since I was at work. He tried to sort this rebooting out and eventually realised that it has now damaged my LNB from all the rebooting of every after 3 to 4 minutes. He then replaced the LNB and my DSTV worked. This LNB that had to be re-placed is only five months old and based on the rebooting issue, it gave in. I had to pay the DSTV Accredited installer a call out fee of R350 and R510 for replacing the LNB. In total I paid R860 only to receive an email from Multichoice on Tuesday evening at 22h34 advising me that they are are of the problem and they are very sorry. My point is the fact that according to them, only sending an email after two full days i.e. on the 3rd day of this issue to be precise, I had to go on without watching TV? Had they replied to my self-service request on Sunday, I wouldn't have called the installer and paid so much. All I want to know from them is if they think it is fair or not and I want to be compensated for the money I have to pay due to their systems' problem.
unauthorised debit order
I've been with dstv since inception (Acc 4929934). I pay diligently eft. End of sept'16 a debit order was collected without my consent a day after I payment at the n1 city offices. All calls ended yielded no results. A legitimate debit was not able to go thru.
Refund me immediately as well as the unpaid debit fees as this was not my ding at all.
debiting an account without consent
So a couple of months ago I contacted DSTV to instate a debit order for my convenience however little did i know will turn out to be a nightmare... on the month where the debit order was to go off, no debit order was put through. I then called DSTV to follow up to which I was advised that they require a letter of consent from my wife as I provided her bank details. NO LETTER WAS EVER SENT TO DSTV, however at the end of September the account was DOUBLE DEBITED yet no payments were outstanding. On calling to follow up regarding the debit order I was advised it was a system error and I would be refunded in 48 hours which was never done. This week I called to follow up on the refund to which I was advised nothing was processed... I then advised not to refund me as this seems like I'm milking a dry cow and therefore advised that the advance cover the end of this month. I then requested the debit order be cancelled as firstly the incorrect amount was debited and secondly as no consent letter was sent for the debit order to be instated to which the consultant Pumelelo advised me she will have to escalate the matter as I have a DPP Package and has to be on debit order to which I advised thats not a problem and I will wait for someone to call me in 2 to 3 hours which was not done. I then called again now and spoke to Ipeleng and she advised she will get her supervisor to call me back which still has not been done... now the question is, how can you guys debit an account where no permission was granted by the third party and why is it now an issue to cancel the debit order if this was never finalized?! In closing I'd like to let you know, " your organization is a bunch of useless beings and I regret ever taking this package"
requested financial statements not supplied or available to download
I am waiting to receive recon statement which Multichoice reply [#8231971 of 24 Sep 16 advised would only be available after 2 Oct 16
B. I followed Multichoice reply [#8269620] of 6 Oct 16 is which in effect is a poor excuse for incompetent service & instruction “do it yourself” and found
1. 6 statements available none with any indication for which year–see attached DsTV Statement for Sep 2016 not available 6 Oct 16
2. none of 6 statements are recon statement requested
3. none of 6 statements are for Sep 2016
explora
How come now that connection to the Internet is possible, Dstv multichoice tries to force us to do it by cutting nearly all top shows from catchup? Nearly half of "shows" on catchup is a 1 min info to tell me I can see it by getting connected to internet. The shows that have episodes available on catchup are the b-rated or local shows. Thats not what was advertised and most certainly NOT what we signed up for.
