Wish I never stumbled across them. Worst service ever. Please don’t use them. Stuck with an invoice of R4500 just for a connection from the living room to a tv in the room. When querying about the invoice, they are not willing to discuss my questions or even hear me out. Very arrogant over the phone. Also put the phone down in my ear. Wish I could rate 0 stars

They quotes R350.00 for call out. This was the catch. It took Wayne 3 hrs to find a poor signal fault and kept blaming multichoice. He made me call them 7 times when it showed poor signal all along. After 3 hrs i told him just to replace the one wire. There was ons one wire to replace That replacement took another 45 min. On arrival hey told me it was the sensor at the dish that was the problem and quoted me R1350.00 to replace. What a *******.At Builders it R449.00. i told him to remove the new one as it made no difference to the signal problem.. 3.45 min he presented me with a bill of R3912.00 Of course i objected.He then became threatening. and insisted i pay him there and then. I had to get security to remove him as i was going to pay him by eft from the start. I was harassed by Chris for two hrs. Even threatening be not so bring trouble on myself and just pay up. I have kept all the messages.when my son started asking for business address, business registration no and vat invoice ,Chris told me to relax and not to worry to pay the invoice.Chris could not even work out 13.00 to 17.00 is only 4 hrs and not 5. Of course my son paid him what we thought was fair and paid R3121.00 for replacing a faulty wire which the claimed was 56 meters. At best it could be 40 meters . To make things worst i had Wayne of the phone at 8 o'clock asking if i had paid. This went on for more than one hour. He then accused me of being a white rassist ***. I have that one WhatsApp too. The proof of payment was sent to them by 22.00 last night When i read all the complains on this site i knew i had to post this. BE AWARE of this company if you can call them a company. They are a RIPOFF delux. They say they are a Multichoice accredited supplier. That i soon to find out and verify with Multichoice

would like to thank MR Dstv for the excellent assistance I received over the phone today. She were friendly, patient, and professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly while helping me sort out my DStv . Excellent service!

Wish I read all the bad reports before doing business with Mr Dstv. Overcharged without clearing the additional charges with you, and even at the end, when I tried negotiating, they were not willing to lower the price. I asked quotations from other companies the following day to come and fix the problem and also to compare to Mr Dstv invoice I was left with a R8400.00 invoice, with exactly the same error code before they start working, telling me at the end after replacing cable and optical LnB, the decoder was inactive for too long period and also need to be replaced. Replacing 45m of RG6 Cox cable @ R58.00/m = R2610.00 ( R6.00/m on other quotations = R270.00) and a LMX502i DSTv Smart LnB @ R1200.00 (R250.00 to R300.00 at other dealers for exactly the same). Then a staggering R2600.00 labour for 1.5 hours on top of call out fee (R350.00) and travelling fee (R550.00). At the end of the day the error code was cleared by another DSTv approved dealer without any cost. Like Mr Dstv said after trying to negotiate price of cable and Smart LnB and I quote “Go buy yourself an get installer good luck” Please listen to them and get someone else to do the job
