I have been so frustrated with the customer service at Multichoice, that I know revert to writing this down, as I cannot explain this issue one more time to someone who works shifts and finds it impossible to keep their word, and get back to me as they ALL promise.
REF number: [protected]
In March 2006, I disconnected my service with MultiChoice, as I moved to Mozambique for an unknown period. On 27 Fear I asked a friend, to phone Multichoice on my behalf, using my DSTV number, to inquire re the reconnection fees,(monthly and yearly) She did this, and concluded this conversation in saying that we will come back to confirm if we wanted to pay for this on monthly or a yearly basis. Thus not confirming it during the call.
On 27 March, to my shock and surprise I saw that the amount of R 858.93 was deducted by Multichoice. I was horrified. And then the terrible journey began to try and sort this out with your call centre. I phoned on 2/4/2007, spoke to Henri, see above ref number. All he did was to say the call will be retreated and he will get back to me before the end of the week, On Thursday I called just to find that nothing was done.
On Tuesday 10/4/2007 I called again (even though Multichoice said they would call me back. ) I spoke to Nicky, she escalated the problem to the complains manager. Later in the week I called again, and spoke to Marilynn Collins, to whom I had to again explain the full problem. She said that someone listened to the call, and that they said my friend requested reconnection. ON the same day Henri called to say that he did not listen to the call, someone else did.
I now requested to listen to the tape myself, and asked Marilynn to arrange for this for Sat 21/4/2007 at 09h00. On Monday 16/4/2007 I got a message from her to say that they had the tape at the front desk on 14/4/2007 --- I was amazed.
On 17/4 I called and asked to speak to Shawane, he actually listened to me, and even indicated that he can understand why someone might have misunderstood this request as a request for reconnection. I FELT HOPEFUL. He promised to make an appointment for me for 21/4/2007 at 10h00 and would get back to me
I WAITED
19/4/2007 I called again, asked to but put through to a complaints manager, as Shawane was not on duty, who would call me back within the hour, as the problem has been escalated (I now think this just means, the complaint has been filed in the dustbin)
When at 16h00 I still have not been contacted by Multichoice (within the hour she said) I called again, and asked the call centre person who answered Peter, to just put me through to a complaints manager, I got connected to Johannes Nkabinde, who said someone apparently did try and get hold of me. I however had no missed calls from anyone, and received no messages on my answering service.
He promised to again forward an email to Marilynn and Shawane and Nicky to get back to me to confirm the appointment for Saturday 21/4/2007.
I feel as a customer, that I have no value to you, that when a problem arise, you seem to think that it is my problem, and my perception is that I as a customer has no value to you. This saddens me and at the same time makes me really really angry. You have a customer complains department, yet I as a customer feels that you really do not care enough to help me. The experience I had with you really just makes me wonder if I want to be your customer. Should I not spend my money elsewhere.
I am in anticipation to hear the outcome of this issue, I would be most amazed if someone calls me back tomorrow.
Kind regards

My dstv now app only works for few minutes and deregister itself. I log it everyday and told them all over and over to check why but they don't do that. Every day I have to ask them to register my device but they don't help me with anything. As I don't even use this app now because of that. My number is [protected].
Reference number: 8018844/I249
21 days and counting.
This issue was approved and escalated for refund through internal channels, but now dstv is attempting to back-track.
I have no other option than to contact my attorney for legal advice.
I need my refund.
Dstv is so petty. Scamming people n repeating shows. Making us pay additional fees because of 'terms n conditions' which they never inform us of prior to signing up with them. STAY AWAY FROM DSTV!
Tlc has 9 adverts each time with the same stuff showing. Movies are repeated and very old movies are shown.
There are so many new movies and we see the old ones and we pay so much.
This is unacceptable
Why not stream I have 3 streaming apps with latest programs and movies I use youtube aswell and for sport tvtap pro onstream and if u interested in netflix
Applied for explora Ultra price lock package on 4 July 2022. To date no joy of installation following multiple calls to the customer care center and appointed service provider.
I have made a payment on the click online application on the 27th aug 2022. My account has been suspended even though i paid. I have provided statements and corresponding transactional statements provided by the bank. When i call they keep me on hold for an hour and end the call. The service is PATHETIC
Kyknet news - daily. Why is there just negative news? surely there are positive news that can be reported.
Furture no white faces, just black faces and news.
Please reconsider and help to improve the mindset of our people. Thanks.
I stay on the south coast and surrounded by retired folks.
We all love strictly and as if it is not enough that we have to battle with Escom outages we can only watch the repeats either late at night or the middle of the night. Many of us cannot afford the full bouquest so only have compact.

My father paid money in error towards his DSTV account and it's been five weeks with no efforts of resolving this matter and he has three reference numbers with numerous conflicting messages communicated by the call centre agents and consultants operating from Maponya mall outlet.
I have 4 days without internet connections and I don't remember skipped a month to pay. My account is up to date.
So please make a way to resolve this issue.
DSTV Installer Overcharging Clients
The Inverto Hub is about R1300
The SLS Splitter is about R60 each
See Invouce attached
Why stating that series is new when it is 2 years and more older. No new content

My account is suspended and I spoke with 2 call centre guys between 20h00-21h00 today (Thursday 04 May 2023) and I did not get help. I actually think i was intentionally put on hold for too long until my airtime has ran out
Is this good customer service?

My dstv subscription was disconnected on 5 May 2023, even though it was paid on 2 May 2023. I phoned the Johannesburg call centre, explained this and then they (Thobisile) put me on hold for 16 minutes while trying to find out what to do next. Then cut off the call suddenly. Nothing was resolved.

I am not happy with the installation at all. Is not need and the wiring is very much expose to the sun, rain etc.
The cable is very thin is something like 1.5 thick is not wrong.
Please find the attachment picture
Dear DStv you are increasing your fees yearly yet your programs are constant repeats. I.e., DaVinci has brought us the same Animal Embassy for more than a year. Not to talk about your movies. I am also sick and tired of your ClearScore advertisements, especially "I'm thinking of buying a new car". Please bring us some changes.
I was offered a price lock contract and I discovered that I have been charged for 2 point installation which is R70 a month. when the installer come they just swapped decoderss as I was already on extra view. why ma I being charged for this
Dstv multichoice I want to make a refund because I made a mistake for paying dstv 3 times so I need help to reverse my money for 2 months please
When I go to Box Office, there are no Movies shown anymore.
Maybe it needs a re-set?
Please get this sorted. I pay for this.
