What we do

Three kinds of DStv job

New installations

Dish mounted, aligned and cabled in, set up from scratch at a home or business.

Signal fixing

When the picture breaks up, freezes or disappears in bad weather, we find out why and correct it.

Extra View

Set up so more than one room can watch, instead of everyone arguing over one decoder.

Signal problems

Most bad pictures are not a broken decoder

People usually assume the decoder has failed. More often it is the dish: knocked out of alignment, a corroded connection, water in the cable, or something that has grown in front of it since the day it went up.

That is worth knowing before you replace equipment that was working fine. We check the whole path — dish, alignment, cabling and connections — before telling you anything needs replacing.

Installations and call-outs are quoted per job

What it costs depends on whether it is a fresh installation or a repair, how the dish has to be mounted, and how much cabling is involved. Tell us what you need and where you are, and we will come back to you.

We handle installation and signal work. Your DStv subscription itself stays between you and MultiChoice.

The installation

Mounted where the signal is, not where it is easy

A dish put up in the wrong place will work on a clear day and fail in weather. We find the line of sight first, mount it properly, and seal the connections so it keeps working.
