Your details are private and secure. No spam.
One Move. One Quote. One Working Day.
Moving house is stressful enough without losing your DSTV signal for a week. Our DSTV relocation service is built around your move-day timeline: we remove your dish, decoder and cabling at the old property the morning of your move, and reinstall everything at the new address the same afternoon — signal restored, channels back, smart card re-paired, usually before the removal lorry has even unpacked the lounge.
Most relocations reuse your existing equipment — dish, LNB, decoder — saving you the cost of new hardware. Where the new property requires a different cable run, a wall feed-through, or the existing dish has corroded beyond use, we quote any extras upfront before starting. We also handle the MultiChoice subscription side: address change, smart card re-pairing, entitlement refresh and bouquet verification.
Whether you're moving a single HD decoder, a full DSTV Explora setup, or a multi-decoder Extra View installation, our team handles the entire move — and any post-move DSTV repairs are covered by the same 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Your Complete DSTV Move
Every DSTV relocation is end-to-end — from dish removal at the old place to demonstrating channels at the new place. One quote, one team, one day.
Old-Property Site Visit
We arrive at your existing property on move-day morning, inspect the install, and confirm what's reusable before any disconnection work begins.
Safe Dish Removal
Dish dismounted carefully, LNB removed and bagged separately, mounting bracket removed, wall feed-through sealed and patched.

Decoder Pack-Up
Decoder, smart card, remote, HDMI cable and accessories all packed in protective sleeves for safe transport to the new address.
Careful Transport
Dish, LNB, decoder and accessories transported in our service vehicle — not loose in your car or with the removal company.
New-Property Survey
Site survey at the new address — identify the best dish location for clear line-of-sight to IS-20 and the cleanest cable route to your TV.
Mounting & Realignment
Dish remounted securely, signal-meter alignment to IS-20 at 68.5°E with correct skew, LNB refitted and weatherproofed.

Full channel scan, signal-strength test, demonstration to confirm everything works, and 12-month workmanship guarantee paperwork issued.
Why Professional Relocation Beats DIY
DIY DSTV moves almost always cost more in the end — broken connectors, knocked-out alignment, smart card pairing nightmares. Here's what we do differently to save you time, money and headaches on move day.
Dish Alignment Preserved Through Transport
Dishes are designed to sit at a precise angle. DIY moves almost always knock the LNB skew off, requiring full re-alignment. We handle dishes professionally and re-align with a signal meter at the destination.
F-Connectors Replaced, Not Reused
F-connectors are not designed to be unscrewed and reused multiple times. We cut and re-crimp fresh connectors at every join during a relocation — a pro detail that prevents signal loss months later.
Smart Card Re-Paired With MultiChoice
Smart cards must be re-paired with MultiChoice when a decoder is moved to a new address. We do this live during the install — no waiting on hold, no failed activations.
Wall Feed-Through Sealed at Both Properties
The hole in the old wall is patched and sealed. The new wall is drilled cleanly with proper internal/external sealing — no water ingress, no cosmetic damage your landlord will dispute.
Coordinated With Your Movers
We schedule around your removal-company timing — arriving at the old property after your essentials are loaded, and at the new property in time to be set up before nightfall.
From Move-Out to Move-In
Our DSTV relocation process is designed around your move day, not ours. Here's how it flows.
Book in Advance
Tell us your move date, both addresses, and what setup you have. Booking 48 hours ahead secures the slot you want.
Old-Property Removal
We arrive on move-day morning, dismount the dish, recover the cable, pack the decoder — usually 30-45 minutes.
Travel & Survey
Equipment transported in our vehicle to the new address. Site survey to identify the best dish location and cable route.
Reinstall & Activate
Dish remounted, cable run, decoder reconnected, smart card re-paired with MultiChoice, full demo, 12-month guarantee issued.
DSTV Move-Day Issues We Eliminate
Common DIY relocation problems — and how our specialists prevent them as standard.
1Dish Alignment Knocked Out
Most DIY moves bump the LNB or skew the dish in transit, leading to no signal at the new address.
2F-Connectors Damaged
F-connectors are crimped — not unscrew-and-reuse. DIY removal usually destroys them.
3Smart Card Not Re-Paired
Decoder works but channels show "no entitlement" — smart card was never re-paired with MultiChoice for the new address.
4Decoder Bumped In Transit
Loose decoder rattling in the back of a removal truck can damage internal hard drives or HDMI ports.
5Wall Damage at Old Property
Pulled-out cables and dish brackets leave ugly damage that delays your deposit refund.
6No Signal at New Address Until Tomorrow
DIY moves often run out of daylight — you spend night one without any TV.
7Wrong Cable Run at New Property
New property has the lounge in a different position — old cable is too short or routed wrong.
8Old Dish No Longer Fit For Purpose
The old dish is corroded or rusted beyond use — not visible until it's removed.

End-to-end service: dish removal at the old property, transport, new-property survey, dish remounting, signal-meter alignment, cable run if needed, decoder reconnection, smart card re-pairing with MultiChoice, full channel scan and demo. 12-month workmanship guarantee on the new install.
Standard same-city moves are quoted at a transparent flat rate. Cross-Gauteng or longer-distance moves are itemised. New parts (replacement dish, LNB, longer cable run) are priced upfront before any work begins.
In most cases yes. We assess the dish's condition during removal. If it's still in good shape we reuse it — saving you the cost of a new dish.
Typically 2 to 3 hours total — about 30-45 minutes at the old property and 1.5 to 2 hours at the new address. Same-day relocations are standard within Gauteng.
No — your DSTV bouquet, billing and account stay exactly as they are. We re-pair the smart card with MultiChoice during the new-address install, which simply refreshes your entitlements at the new location.
Yes — full Explora relocation including hard-drive-safe transport, smart LNB transfer, smart card re-pairing and software refresh. See our DSTV Explora Installation page for the underlying setup.
Yes — both decoders moved, smart LNB transferred, dual cable runs replanned at the new property, both smart cards re-paired and the Extra View link reactivated. See our DSTV Extra View Installation page for full details.
Same process — full HD decoder reinstallation at the new address, smart card re-paired, channel scan completed, demo done.
Yes — same-day relocation across most of Gauteng. Cross-Gauteng moves (e.g. Johannesburg to Pretoria) usually completed same-day for bookings made before 10 AM. Weekend slots open at no surcharge.
Yes — guest houses, lodges, B&Bs, sports bars and offices. Commercial relocations are coordinated with your own move plans, and we also handle the commercial DSTV commissioning at the new premises if needed.
Covered. Our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers the dish remounting and the alignment we did at the new address. For unrelated future hardware faults see our DSTV repair services page.
