If you’ve just bought a new decoder or moved into a new home, the first question is almost always: how much will a DStv installation cost? In this guide we break down realistic 2026 pricing in Gauteng so you can budget confidently.
Standard DStv installation
A standard single-view installation typically includes the dish, bracket, LNB, RG6 satellite cable and decoder setup. In most Gauteng suburbs you should expect a fair fixed call-out, with extras only if your setup needs a Smart LNB, longer cable runs or a stronger bracket for face-brick walls.
Extra View installation
Extra View lets you watch different channels on multiple TVs using one subscription. Pricing depends on the number of rooms, cable distance and whether your existing setup uses a Smart LNB. We always quote upfront before starting.
Explora and Explora Ultra installations
Explora and Explora Ultra installations require a Smart LNB and proper grounding. The Ultra also benefits from a strong WiFi signal for streaming features â we’ll often pair the install with a quick WiFi check.
What can increase the price?
Double-storey access, hidden cable runs through ceilings, signal amplifiers for very long runs and complex body-corporate requirements can all add to a basic install. The honest answer? Most homes in Gauteng fall within a predictable price range â WhatsApp us a photo and we’ll quote in minutes.
