What’s included

Everything a proper installation needs

A DSTV installation is only as good as its weakest part. We use galvanised brackets, UV-stable RG-6 cabling and weatherproofed F-connectors, and every dish is meter-aligned to the IS-20 satellite — not aimed by eye.

  • Dish, LNB and bracket supply — correct size and spec for your home, carried on the van
  • Meter-verified alignment to the IS-20 satellite for maximum signal headroom
  • Neat cabling — concealed where possible, colour-matched trunking where not
  • Decoder connection and activation, channel scan and remote setup
  • Signal test on every viewing point before you sign off
  • Written workmanship guarantee on the whole installation

Explora installations

Explora and Explora Ultra, configured properly

Explora installations need the correct smart LNB, a solid internet connection for streaming apps, and correct tuner configuration so you can record while you watch. We install and pair everything — recordings, catch-up and apps all working on day one.

Upgrading from an older decoder? We check your existing dish and LNB first and quote only for what actually needs to change — often far less than a full new installation.

Commercial DSTV

One dish, many screens, zero drama

Guesthouses, lodges, pubs, gyms, complexes and office parks — commercial DSTV is a design job before it is an installation job. We size the dish, multiswitches and cabling for the building, label every run, and hand over documentation your maintenance team can actually use.

We install with minimal disruption to trading hours and offer maintenance agreements with priority response.

Quick answers

DSTV installation questions

A standard single-decoder installation takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Explora installations run slightly longer because of the smart LNB and app setup, while multi-room jobs typically take 2 to 4 hours depending on cable routes.

Price depends on the dish size, the number of viewing points, cable-run lengths and whether trunking or a TV mount is included. We always give a fixed quote upfront — the price we quote is the price you pay.

Yes. We carry dishes, LNBs, brackets and cabling on the van, and can supply decoders on request — or happily install equipment you have already purchased after checking it is the right spec.
