New Installation FAQs

How long does a new DStv installation take in Fish Hoek?
A standard single-view installation at a home in Fish Hoek usually takes about one to two hours. It depends on your wall type and where the dish has to go. Fish Hoek sits in a valley between two mountains with False Bay on one side, so line of sight varies a lot street by street, so we always check the signal path before drilling anything. If you need extra TV points or cable run through a long roof space, allow a bit longer.
What is included in a new installation?
The dish and bracket, mounting and precise alignment, RG6 coaxial cable to your TV point, decoder connection, smartcard activation and a full signal test before we leave. We tidy the cable runs rather than leaving them hanging, and we take the packaging away with us.
Do I need a bigger dish because of the Far South Peninsula weather?
For most homes in Fish Hoek a standard 60cm dish is correct. What matters far more is solid mounting and accurate alignment. With south-easter funnelling through the valley, sea mist and salt air, a dish that is slightly off but reads fine on a calm day will drop out in the first real front. We align to the correct signal quality figure, not just to a picture appearing.
Can you install if nobody is home during the day?
Yes. We can arrange a time that suits you, including early morning or Saturday, and we only need access to the roof area and your TV point.
Which decoder should I get?
For one TV, an HD decoder is enough. If you record, pause live TV or want streaming apps built in, the Explora Ultra is the better long-term choice. If you want different channels in different rooms, you need XtraView with a second decoder rather than a splitter.
Do you install on face-brick, plaster or timber walls?
All of them. Homes around Kalk Bay, Clovelly, Sun Valley, Glencairn and Muizenberg vary a lot, and each wall type needs different anchors. We carry the right fixings for brick, plaster, concrete and timber, and near the coast we use stainless steel so the bracket does not bleed rust down your wall.
