Hello I have an contract with a dstv it's a price and every month the requested amount is to high I called them to rectify this but they promise they will fix it but I can't see the progress

HOW COME DSTV DECIDE ON WHICH PACKAGE A PERSON MUST GO AND THEN SUSPEND YOUR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY DECIDED THE PACKAGE AND THEN THERE IS A SHORT PAYMENT ON YOUR MONTHLY PREMIUM.
NOBODY CONTACTS YOU WHEN YOUR PRICE LOCK COMES TO AN END AND YOUR DEBIT ORDER JUST GETS CANCELLED BY WHO EVER IS WORKING AT MULTICHOICE.

THE PERSONS WORKING IN THE CALL CENTER AND THE PEOPLE AT RANDBURG MULTICHOICE BLAMES EACH OTHER FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS.

THIS COMPANY IS GETTING WORSE THAN WORSE AND NOBODY CAN GIVE YOU A STRAIGHT ANSWER.

THIS SUCKS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My DSTV services has been off for a full week. Last week Saturday I called the Call Centre, a few channels were up and running. This week the channels that were not working are still not working. I spoke to an agent at the CallCentre extremely unhelpful individual. Tells me to switch it on and off, when that doesnt work she tells me it's a software problem. I asked how is it a software issue if other channels are working. I ask to speak to a Manager someone by the way who is suppose to be managing a team, tells me hes in a meeting. I then ask for his name, name she said it is confidential and she cant give me his name...is this a joke! What is happening to customer service at DSTV??? It is deteriorating and this call centre agent thinks she can tell us any nonsensical thing and we will accept it. Whilst the service has not been working for a week, I am still paying my premium to DSTV for services not worth paying. Poor customer service, an absent manager who should oversee such things, what a joke DSTV.

My DSTV services has been off for a full week. Last week Saturday I called the Call Centre, a few channels were up and running. This week the channels that were not working are still not working. I spoke to Amber Paige at the CallCentre extremely unhelpful individual. Tells me to switch it in and off, when that doesnt work she tells me it's a software problem. I asked how is it a software issue if other channels are working. I ask to speak to a Manager someone by the way who is suppose to be managing a team, tells me hes in a meeting. I then ask for his name, she says Mr Khan, I asked for a first name she said it is confidential and she cant give me his name...is this a joke! What is happening to customer service at DSTV???

Whilst the service has not been working for a week, I am still paying my premium to DSTV for services not worth paying.

I am going to try and be frank abuot DSTV customer service it is disgusting they should be ashamed.

How dare DSTV staff keep us holding for 30minutes who do you think pays for that 30 minutes.

Why don’t DSTV do a 0800 toll free number but they know they would go bankrupt paying for phone calls, your consultants don’t know what they are doing.

I have been struggling for three days with incompetence.

My extra view is NOT WORKING.

I escalated to Kgomotso who got someone to phone and when this person couldn’t help I phoned him back and he was supposed to phone me back in 5 minutes later HE DID NOT I was told this by Mafulatsha he would phone back….. NO RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.

Then I got hold of Carleso who was at least kind enough to try and help she gave me a reference number for the call 14374132/i255 she should be a supervisor.

She then sent an escalation to Xtra view 12230349 and I was told they will phone in 5 minutes. It is 9:22 the next day and no call.

I then phoned Lukas who took 25 minutes to give me an xtra view email address and a number for Extra view 011 289 2200 which does not work. Well done Lukas you have made your company proud. Call reference 14371432-i257

The installer is now on the phone with Thandeka who won’t give me a reference until the call is done. Now is that not stupid what happens if the call dies or she makes me listen to music for 30minutes until I have had enough of that then I hang up.

This has happened over and over and over

So can anybody who is qualified enough and intelligent enough please give me a call so that we can sort this problem. Xtra view specialist with reference number 12230349 why have you not called.

I have a credited installer and he is not winning his number is 00011486MC.

What is wrong with you people don’t you care about your paying customers.

Unable to sort out my account 12922841 since December 2019. Pricelock account but paying non contractual fees. Logged numerous references with promises that they will get back to me, but no replies yet.

Hi, my complaint regards the adult content on a holiday kid's channel on DSTV(Multichoice) , in South Africa.

Channel 105(M Smile) is a holiday kids channel, but TV show Bachelor trailer keeps showing on the channel in January this year. This is definitely not some thing our kids should be watching. I am disgusted and I feel that this is inappropriate.

DSTV needs to catch a "wake up" or put somebody competent to manage this.

am premium subscriber with 3 explorers connected. Then DSTV offered me a price lock for R799/month. They say they will send an installer to install. Then after installation & activation, my price lock of R799/month will start while my existing premium of R1000/month will be deactivated.

I got the pricelock decoder early in December 19. Its still in the box & incompetent installer hasn't come to install. Then greedy & selfish DSTV decides to charge me for an explorer that's is not connected or activated. What rubbish is that by DSTV? DSTV didn't even call me to check if the new decoder has been installed or not. DSTV must reverse the price lock premium until my new decoder is installed & connected. I dont have money to pay R1921 as I always pay below R1000. I wasted my R110 airtime on the 25th Dec 20 explaining to the call centers people. Unfortunately they are useless, incompetent & very rude. Please sort this asap or come to collect the pricelock decoder.

I have an account with multichoice which was on debit order for the 22nd of every month, so last month on the 22nd I did not receive a notification from my bank that the money was debited then on the 25th I gave them a call to debit the money and I was told the money is appearing on their side so I should worry and I was not disconnected, then 3 or 4 days later I was disconnected when I call them now I was told that I did not pay and I asked them to check their notes and comments then they recognised that it was their fault so I was connected again on the 28th and on that very date I paid R145.00. THEN again 3 days later I was disconnected I called in again then I was connected. Now Sunday the 7th I was disconnected again, I call in again then they told I have to pay R205.00 to be connected again and I told them my monthly package is R125.00 why am I supposed to pay R205.00 then the manager buy the name Handsome told me that I was charged like that by their billing department, then he is logging a query for me with that department and I will be called in the next 24 hours, I waited 24 hours passed I call them again I was told they will call me back in 72 hours nobody ever called me. I cant watch TV since Sunday till today can somebody help me please.
my number is 071 028 6562

Hi we took the Premium package..
1st month there was an error on installation..
2nd month you debited over and above..
3rd month same thing..
Now heading to to next billing again its R1330 instead of R956 like agreed so it goes without saying i am not happy with price lock package as they debit alot more than agreed and over and above package price if this problem does not get resolved i will be cancelling this service

well done Dstv, welcome to the world of BAD service, fast becoming a government parastatal. I called Dstv for information on my Dstv account. The operator which I could not hear her name properly asked me if she could put me on hold which I agreed. From 10:24am to 10:49am I was still waiting for the operator to return to the call which she did not do. I have patience but this was beyond patience. I hung up.

If I had a choice I would cancel my subscription with Dstv.

You guys suck

54877954.... Call me back, sort out my problem, why aren't you assisting me...

I am very disappointed on the service I got from your consultant on 28/10/2019 @02h44s42. I phoned DSTV to change the debit date due to change of employment.

The consultant ensured me that the system has been amended and i was shocked to get a message on 20/11/2019 that my dstv has been stopped. I had to phone dstv on the same day and the consultant i spoke to alluded that he will escalate the matter and i should accept their call before end of business. They never phoned, i phoned again on 21/11/2019 and spoke to a consultant who knows her job and she explained everything into detail. An explanation or procedure which i got from Ngiphiwe Xulu was sufficient enough for me to understand why i got cut off.

It is so unfair that i had to pay the connection fee because of your consultant Sibahle Mancewu who failed to outline the procedure to be done since i am moving the date to the 25th.

I am hoping that this matter will not be left unattended as i am also expecting a feedback on how it was handled. Sibahle Mancewu was supposed to incur the connection fee not me. How would i have known that there is a pro-rata i was supposed to pay if Ngiphiwe Xulu never expalined to me.

I would like to applaud Ngiphiwe Xulu for her professionalism and understanding her role in serving clients.

Good name my name is Nonhlanhla nkosi tel no. 0761712367. My partners name is mondli Buthelezi. Smartcard no 1027508833.

I am unhappy with the way I'm being treated by Multichoice, for the third time this year my services are disconnected for something they always apologize for. I have 2 decoders and 1 of those I'm not using,so I took R99 subscription for Dstv Access in 2018 however I'm being told now that it went up to R105 since April 2019 .I've been paying R99 without any communication being sent to me or services disconnected but all of a sudden my services are disconnected this month saying I owe them reconnection and subscription for the decoder I've never activated. What frustrates me the most is the fact that I spent my airtime and time calling them but they have different answers

See my e-mails to Multi Choice (DSTV) I asked two questions no answer just cut off:

I requested that the unused Xtra view be disconnected and have another one activated the agent that assisted had disconnected the incorrect one even though serial numbers and decoder details where provided on the 24/09/2019. I immediately notified her and was advised that the problem was not her doing and that I am now responsible to pay for an installer to fix the problem. I then took all 3 of my decoders to the Randburg branch where they proceeded to check the decoders. the DSTV app shows that the decoder is active but we are still experiencing no connectivity. Fast forward 6 weeks late are still experiencing the same problem we have called DSTV and are told to get an installer. we then decided to swop the inactive decoder that was initially asked to be removed and connected that one as the one that suppose to be active is still not active, to our surprise the inactive decoder works. this morning 30/10/2019 I called in (reference number for call - 23424977) to have them assist again the agent had then went and activated an entire new package resulting in the account being debited with R500.00. I asked for a refund as this is not what I asked for and only received the amount of R369 back and my entire dstv not working.

I entered into a Price Lock agreement in 2018 for R750 per month. This was not honored by them and they continued to bill me R809 until I complained in 2019. I have not received the refund.
DSTV are now billing me in excess of R900 yet I'm still in price lock agreement for R750.
I requested a settlement so I can cancel my service, but have not received feedback.
Herewith references.
2392120, 2633400, 2465827, 2465445, 2465018, 2413307, 2401923.2392487.
This excludes phone calls, dstv community reporting and hello Peter reporting.

Hi,
I have had the DSTV Compact subscription for 3/4 years.

In August i agreed to the pricelock for an explora, when it was deleivered i found out R900 would be debited from my account which i couldnt afford, immediately cancelled it and it was sent back.

thereafter i was told i am no longer on debit order but cash payment.

Occtober payment was made on the 1st then my account was debited for almost R600 after they told me i was a cash customer.
Reversed the payment with the bank as they were unable to assist.

few days later they disconnected me, phoned and i was reconnected, few days later disconnected again and told there is an outstanding amount due now so they can not reconnect me. Phoned again and someone reconnected me. few days later disconnected again, same story, I have spent so much money on phoning them to reconnect me, each time same story that they will log a dispute.

If they can not assist on the phone they cut you off.
Absolutely disgusting to think i am paying for a service not working and no one can assist.

Dstv keeps on saying that the amount of money I paid was reversed I don't know to who as it never reflects into my account. I paid 508 for both my two decoders. But now m being told I must pay another amount.. How inconvenient is this.. Very poor service ever. Please reconnect my access decoder. Id number 9311050495086

Dstv keeps on saying the amount I paid was reversed.. I don't know to who as my transaction does not show any amount in. I paid 508 which is for my two decoder.. They switched the access one off telling me to pay another amount. Like this is really disturbing. How poor is your service. Please sort this out as I sent proof of payment. My ID is 9311050495086

Good day, I have the premier bundle with a price lock and a fixed monthly amount. I have been a subscriber for over 20 yrs and this month DSTV deducted 3 times my normal subscription from my debit order. A total of 2627.00 was deducted where its only R974.00 including my extra view.

Upon visiting my local DSTV office in town, I was told that its a systems error and that they cannot refund me directly, and that I must wait and see what happens end of this month.

That's absolute bullshit, and unacceptable from such a corporate business.

Can we please have answers as previously colleges of mine had the same happen to them.
