3 different operators before they actually help
My account is ALWAYS paid in full.In August I went online to my account and there it stated that I could set up a dorder there, which I did!It was set to go off on 1 Sep 09.On the 1st I checked my bank and the money wasn't off, I did the same on the 2nd.On the 3rd of Sep when I went into my account I saw that a payment was made 3times by me to Multichoice(which was impossible as the debit order didn't even go off).I phoned your contact centre at(021)5082222-A black lady answered, I explained the situation.All she said was that my account is paid inadvance for 3 mths.The more I said that is impossible, the more she said that is what the system shows.After arguing with her for 10min I gave it up.Yesterday I got an sms stating that my account is OVERDUE for 3mths.Long story short - 3times i called.First lady told me the problem is on my bank, second guy told me I am not understanding your policy of pay in advance. 'Ma'm listen to me: You have paid R269 on 29 July. that is your payment for Jul, you pay in advance.'?Third: LUCKILY Richard answered and actually took the time to figure out what I'm saying and help-THANKFULLY! HOW AGGRAVATING!Some uneducated people there, then they are rude too.

I was billed twice on my account
I was billed twice on my account. I called the call centre and spoke to Thulani Mokoena on the 4th Sept to notify him of the incorrect billing on my account and I requested a refund to be actioned. He told me that they don't issue refunds and I told him that there is no such thing. He thn suggested that he is going to speak to his supervisor.He came back to me and told me that he had to convinced his supervisor so hard to give me a refund - to me thats was nonsense. He told me that I wll be refunded after 7 days.I called again the following week to double check if my request was actioned and I spoke to Dimakatso Modia. who confirmed that my refund will go through on Monday the 15 Sept. when I checked my account today there as nothing. I called Multichoice this morning spoke to Innocent Malusi and I was told that they did receive my request on the 4th and the following week as well and a note was made on my account for a refund to be actioned but it was not done. they don't know why and I must wait for another 7 days they will try and action it. I asked to speak to the supervisor to lodge my coplain I was told that. The supervisor doesn't speak to the public.

Its a pity these guys are the only service provider for satellite TV
At the end of august I was billed extra by multichoice so I called the call center and cleared this up and was told that I would have to call back to get the excess money to be put back into my bank account. I called back after the given time period and put forward this request to a lady named Thobeka ref no: 44909308. I was told that by thursday this week the money will be in my account which did not happen! I called the call center again and spoke to Tumi ref no 45071140 and was informed that 'the system' was down and did not process the transaction so it will have to be done again which he assured me was done and that the money will be in my account the next day. It is now a day later and there is still nothing in my account. What do I have to do to get my money back??? Calling the call center has proved fruitless!!!

Its a pity these guys are the only service provider for satellite TV.

My HDDualviewXtraview has been a disaster from day
My HDDualviewXtraview has been a disaster from day 1 and it is obvious that MC have just plied faulty decoders on their customers. My HD channel works most of the time but the other 2 TV's disconnect repeatedly and stay off every day for hours. The SD TV1 message is 'looking for primary decoder' while TV2' message is TV disabled - contact the nearest call centre (that's a real joke!). I have had MC technicians and engineers come to my place a few months ago to check out the setup but they say all connections are OK. Then they walked away from the problem and I have been complaining by telephone, email, DSTV forum, Fieldtrials and the MC Head Office for the last 6 months - but they simply ignore me as if the problem is not theirs!

I have paid annually in advance for the HDDualXtraview setup to receive 3 different channels but only effectively receive 1 channel. I have therefore asked for a refund of 23 of these fees to be rebated butthis also falls on deaf ears. This is also a breach of contract deaf ears. I cannot wait for competition to come in so that I can say good riddance to this arrogant, selfserving firm that could not give a hoot about their customers but I want my mon.

Till date i am am not removed from the ITC reports
I was handed over for not paying the last instalement of my account i cancelled, I was not aware of this money but it was sorted and I paid up my account. Till date i am am not removed from the ITC reports, showing that i stiil owe the money. I applied for vehicle finance now and im going to loose the deal because I'm getting NO response from Multichoice, Seeing that I'm not able to speeck to the same person when I phone the callcentre, the same response is given everytime, That they cannot supply me with a letter stating that this account has been settled. This is unacceptable!!!

HD PVR rip-off and disgusting service call centre
Yesterday, 1 September 2009 I went to multi-choice agents in Pretoria central to resolve problems i have with multi-choice. I was charged R60 extra a month for something i didn't use and it never worked. The only thing that i got from call centre agents was bad attitude & arrogance when i tried to tell them that my decorder doesn't have full functionalities that comes with it and that was the reason i bought the HD PVR. They kept on telling me to reset, take of all the cables from decoder without switching it off and it never worked. I also asked that subcription to be cancelled because it doesn't work.

To my suprise, my account was suspended reason been i didn't pay extra R60 pm for subscription on my account. I told call centre agents that I don't have those functions and I was told that they don't have a prove of it.

I took a day off and went to multi-choice agent with the decoder, I sat there for 3.5hrs checking my decoder and they confirmed it doesn't work. they told me i'll get a second hand one on friday. How can I get a second hand one if i bought it brand new and I was charged R60 pm subscription for rubbish & I bought it for R3899. I want R60 back & new decoder.

We experienced the delayed soundtrack on the English soundtrack during the rugby
We also experienced the delayed soundtrack on the English soundtrack during the rugby. And all of the other DSTV channels were fine, so it was definitely a Multichoice problem, regardless of the denials.

There are no phone numbers or email addresses on the site to contact them
I recently noticed that i have been billed twice for the subscriptions to [Hidden Web Address] I have then repeatedly tried to contact them regarding this problem but they only have a link to a page on thier website. The emails keep failing to be delivered. There are no phone numbers or email addresses on the site to contact them. In otherwords, there is absolutely no way to cancel my subscription. This is completely unacceptable. I read a similar report on this website and the response from multichoice was to click on the contact us link. THEY DON'T WORK!!! These people are completely useless!!! Please cancel my subscriptionS immediately. I want a full refund for one of the subscriptions as well!!

Two months I am waiting for refund
My Decoder Packed up and I bought a new one in June. When I phoned DSTV to activate the new decoder I was told my old card would not work on the new decoder and I have to therefor activate the new card. Upon enquiry the call centre told my I can cutup the old card and throw it away as i cannot use it anymore as each decoder now comes with a card assigned to it. In July I was billed for two decoders plus pro rata for two decoders from 22 June (R1145), when I checked I was told that they will listen to the call and refund. I phoned back in July and was told a 'cheque' was issued but returned and they will now pass Credit. I phoned to find out how much was due for september and was told my account is overdue? I get promises and no answers. My phone bill to sort this out is now standing at a staggering R689.00.

I woulkd like to kow from Multichoice when i can please get my R646.00 back for the overcharged 'second Decoder' as well as a refund for all my calls which they don't bother returning, and for keeping me on the line for in excess of 20minutes everytime, while every new person tries to check up. I get told a supervisor will phone me back, which also has not happened.

I want to make my own bouquet
I find it very annoying that the only worthwhile package you can get from DSTV is the premium package, which is R499 per month! Why can't they charge you per channel, and let you make up your own bouquet? I will not support them until they let us choose what we want to watch. I do not want to watch Africa Magic, Africa Magic+, Vuzu or Soweto TV! I hate sport, so why would I want to pay for a grand total of TWELVE sports channels?? I do not have children so why would I want KooWee or Cbeebies? I do not like hiphop or RnB, so why would I want Channel O or Mtv Base? I am neither Christian nor Islam, so why would I want One Gospel, TBN, Rhema TV, or Islam TV? You are ripping people off by forcing them to pay exorbitant prices for programmes that they do not ever want to watch. I'm so disgusted.
