Extra View Installation
Professional extra view installation for residential, sectional-title and commercial clients across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Gauteng. Same-day slots, transparent pricing, 12-month workmanship guarantee on every install.
Why Choose Our Extra View Installation
One DSTV subscription. Two rooms. Two completely independent channels. That is what DSTV Extra View delivers when properly installed — and the install is everything. Without a smart SCD2 LNB and two dedicated cable runs, Extra View simply will not work, no matter how much you pay MultiChoice.
Our Extra View installation service handles every step: smart LNB upgrade on your existing dish, two independent cable runs to each decoder location, smart-card pairing of both decoders with MultiChoice, and a full demo showing two rooms watching different channels. Most Extra View installs are completed in 2-3 hours.

A Complete Extra View Installation Service
Every extra view installation job is delivered end-to-end. Site survey, parts, install, commissioning, demo and guarantee — one flat-rate quote, one technician, one visit.
Compatibility Check
We verify your two decoders are Extra View compatible (Explora, HD PVR, modern HD decoder) before any work begins.
Smart LNB SCD2 Install
Standard LNB removed, SCD2 smart LNB fitted — the essential component that makes two independent signals possible.
Dual Cable Run
Two independent 75-ohm coaxial runs from the smart LNB to each decoder location — never a Y-splitter shortcut.
Decoder Positioning
Each decoder placed in its target room, HDMI connected, smart card slotted, software updated.
MultiChoice Pairing
Both smart cards paired live with MultiChoice and linked to your single Extra View subscription.
Independent Channel Test
We deliberately tune each decoder to different transponders simultaneously to verify true independent viewing.
Recording Verification
If both decoders are PVR-capable, we test simultaneous recording on both before handover.
Demo & Walk-Through
Both rooms demonstrated independently, smart-card pairing verified, 12-month guarantee paperwork issued.
Cabling Aesthetics
Cable runs routed through ceiling voids, trunking or wall cavities — not stapled to skirting boards.

Extra View Installation Questions
The most common questions about our extra view installation service. See the full FAQ for 50+ more answers.
Extra View links a second decoder to your main DSTV subscription, allowing two rooms to watch different channels simultaneously on a single monthly bill.
Usually not. Both decoders share one dish — what changes is the LNB. We upgrade your existing LNB to an SCD2 smart LNB.
Flat-rate Extra View installations start from R700-R1100, including smart LNB, cabling, F-connectors, decoder pairing and demo.
Yes, if both are PVR-capable (Explora or HD PVR). Each PVR records to its own drive completely independently.
Most modern decoders are compatible — Explora, HD PVR, current HD decoders. Some older SD decoders are not. We verify before any work.
Yes — 12-month workmanship guarantee on the cabling, LNB, mounting and connectors.
