DStv Extra View Installation in Kempton Park
Watch a different channel in the bedroom, the guest cottage or the flatlet without a second subscription. We fit the LNB, run the cable and link the decoders.
Why People Add Extra View
Different Channels
Each linked decoder can be on its own channel, so the sport and the series no longer compete for one screen.
One Account
Extra View links a second decoder to your existing DStv subscription rather than opening a new one.
Proper Cabling
Each decoder gets its own cable from a suitable LNB — no cheap splitters that weaken the signal to both TVs.
Garden Flats & Back Rooms
The second TV doesn't have to be in the main house. We can run a protected cable out to a garden flat, a cottage or a converted back room.
What an Extra View Installation Involves
Check the dish and LNB
We confirm the dish is well aligned and that the LNB has an output free for the second decoder. If not, we swap the LNB.
Plan the second cable
We agree the route to the second TV — through the roof, along a wall or across to another building in conduit.
Connect and link
Both decoders are connected on their own cables and linked to your account, following MultiChoice's Extra View process.
Test both TVs
We put each TV on a different channel at the same time and check the signal quality at both before we leave.
Extra View in a Kempton Park Home
Most of the time, Extra View means a second TV in the main bedroom. Almost as often it is a home office, a converted back room or a garden flat — and every so often it is a household that has simply run out of patience with one remote and four opinions. Our DStv installers in Kempton Park plan the second connection around how the house is actually used rather than where the cable happens to be.
The key piece of hardware is the LNB — the unit at the front of the dish that picks up the signal. A single-output LNB can only feed one decoder, so Extra View needs a twin or larger one. Replacing just the LNB is quicker and far cheaper than replacing the dish, and while the ladder is up it is the sensible moment to check the alignment and reseal the outdoor connectors that a wet summer has been working on.
Each decoder then needs its own cable back to the LNB. Splitting one cable between two decoders weakens the signal to both, and the result is a pair of TVs that look fine on a clear evening and break up together on a wet one — which is exactly how we find it when we are called out. Where the second line has to cross a yard or run along an outside wall it goes into conduit and is clipped tight, and for a long run to a separate building we work out the expected loss first and pick the route and equipment to suit.
If the TV point you already have is playing up — freezing, pixelating or throwing error messages — it is worth sorting that out before adding a second decoder onto the same system. Our DStv fault-finding service finds the cause first. Need more than two screens, for a reception area or a guesthouse? That is a business installation rather than Extra View.
