Why Choose Our Smart LNB Installation
A smart LNB (also known as an SCD2 LNB) is what makes modern DSTV setups work properly. It is the small electronic block at the end of your dish arm, and it is responsible for converting the satellite signal into something your decoder can use. The smart variant can supply two independent signals down two separate cables — essential for Extra View and the full PVR functionality of the Explora.
If you are upgrading from an older setup, installing Extra View, or troubleshooting recording failures on your Explora, an SCD2 smart LNB upgrade is almost always part of the solution. We supply, fit, weatherproof and signal-test on every installation.

Smart LNB Installation Questions
The most common questions about our smart lnb installation service. See the full FAQ for 50+ more answers.
A standard LNB outputs one signal at a time. A smart SCD2 LNB outputs two independent signals down two separate cables — required for Extra View and full Explora PVR.
If you have an Explora and want full PVR (record one channel while watching another), or if you want Extra View, yes. For a single HD decoder, a standard LNB is fine.
Around 45-60 minutes for the LNB swap and signal verification. Longer if additional cable runs are needed for Extra View.
Typically quoted within the broader Extra View or Explora install. Standalone LNB swaps are also available at a flat rate.
Usually not — the dish is reused, only the LNB at the end of the arm is replaced.
Yes — 12-month workmanship guarantee on the install. The LNB itself carries its supplier warranty.
