I'll tell you something about the digital terrestrial and prepaid Mediaset Premium. Something that happened to me, but certainly also to others.
I, among other work I do, I also write comments on the Football Championship Series A. Therefore I need to see some games. I do not want to subscribe to SKY: actually write at the local level, I just watch the games in Rome and Lazio. So look for alternatives. Do you think that you think back, I am reminded of the digital terrestrial maybe here I can just rent the games that I need, there may be a Pay Per View, or at least so as to understand the tam-tam advertising, and so on ... in short, I go into a store and I buy a digital decoder. I buy a prepaid card with Mediaset Premium. Costa € 78 instead of others that cost 35 but has the gift of a prepaid card to recharge Mediaset Premium, yes, but to take it alone costs € 39. I go to the tobacconist, the mark-up spending € 20 to € 98 and then I can see the parts you want, when I want, pay per view, so ...
That's what I thought ...
The reality proved very different ...
After two months I've seen, by paying the regular charge, the games I needed to see and after I made a second charge of 20 €, remaining with € 4, I make another charge of 20 € for a game costs € 6 and I was only 4 available.
I enter the secret code to refresh the look and took charge of SMS. Comes one of them tells me that the prepaid card, the its code is not valid. Telephone assistance and explain to me:
- Mediaset Premium prepaid card for free with the decoder will expire after three months.
But this was not written on the box. It said that gift - for a few months - the programs that I did not care at all and that I did not care.
Managers of the store, despite some clarification I had asked when I bought the decoder, I have said nothing of the deadline. They know it, shopkeepers said they would correct me ... them, no;
- The site Mediaset Premium - http://www.mediasetpremium.mediaset.it - An explanation of how it works mediasetpremium is absolutely unclear. Try it to believe it. They say no, but instead is so ...
At this point I'll explain how it is:
- card Mediaset Premium cost of 39 €;
- If you take the gift in a package with a digital decoder will expire after two months. To reactivate it you must see a Gallery Pass, which costs € 39 or 60, respectively for 3 and 6 months;
- Do not miss the remaining credit ... But if you have 4 € residue will have to load 20 more. Thus, to reactivate the card and use it to watch the games - which cost € 6 - € 80 you pay immediately;
- The 39 or 60 € the Pass Gallery you have to shell out every 3 or 6 months resemble the old fee charging the phone, remember? Mediaset Premium
- card contains an expiration date - my on 30/6/2010 - that is deceptive: the deadline is every 3 or 6 months. That is the date given in the paper where you throw it because you do not need anything more and you have to buy back another.
Considerations on Mediaset Premium and store:
The prepaid card looks like a disguised pass, but a pay-per-view card: to see a game a week for 6 months I pay € 144 + € 60 activation = 204 € , at a cost of € 8.5 per game. In fact
Mediaset Premium the shop is not doing bad in any way obvious or prosecuted, but the context is unclear which put the consumer is deprecated.
Consumers may not pay attention to everything and in such detail. There should be a basic framework that would enable it to make the best choices.
I'm afraid to know what can be combined or La7 Yalp in this field ... hopefully good ... Yalp For example, I can not get it to work: matches deferred offering even have the time and I do not even belong in that league. Is it possible to know? I went sull'help but I found no explanation. There is a path to get there? And what? E ' hidden? Yet it should be as clear as it is the most important information ...
All in all, the field of televisions, set-top boxes, the cable etc ... seems like a no man's land where the intended victim is just the consumer. Hello
