Poor Workmanship and Overcharge

Nine months ago I called out Action TV (ph: 021 423 9117) of Kloof Street, Gardens, Cape Town, to sort out a DSTV reception problem and to install an Explora DSTV decoder. They overcharged me with a R1600 invoice (number 11973) which was nearly 3 times their original quote. Included in the invoice charge was a R200 charge for a 4-way splitter which costs about R60 retail at Ellies or Space TV. They also charged for the supply and fitment of a replacement LNB.<br> <br> When I recently experienced reception problems (E48-32 DSTV error message) again, I contacted Action TV, but they were not interested coming out to site to repair their workmanship. I then contacted another DSTV installer who informed me that the LNB unit which Action TV fitted was faulty and appears to be a 2nd hand unit which they installed. This was most probably the reason why the unit only lasted for 9 months. <br> <br> I would not recommend any person to use Action TV for any DSTV or repairs as they overcharge for their work, install used parts and they are not willing to attend to problems emmating from their workmanship. <br> <br> Regards<br> <br> Andre du Preez
