DStv Installation Price Guide — Cape Town 2026
Prices depend on the type of installation, the decoder model, the number of TV points, and your suburb. Here’s a general guide based on our standard rates:
Standard DStv Installation (Single View)
- Satellite dish + single LNB + 1 cable run + decoder setup
- Includes dish mounting, alignment, and signal optimisation
- Ideal for a single TV in one room
DStv Explora Installation
- Satellite dish + Smart LNB + Explora decoder + 1 cable run
- Includes PVR setup, recording configuration, and channel scan
- Add extra view decoders for additional rooms
Extra TV Points
- Additional cable run from the dish/splitter to another room
- Price varies based on cable distance and whether trunking or conduit is needed
- Each extra point needs its own decoder (single view or extra view)
DStv Dish Only (No Decoder)
- New dish + LNB + mounting + alignment
- For customers who already have a working decoder but need a new or replacement dish
- See our DStv repair page if you need dish realignment without replacement
Commercial / Guesthouse DStv Installation
- Multi-room setups for B&Bs, guest houses, lodges, restaurants, and offices
- Centralised dish + distribution amplifier or communal LNB
- Custom-quoted based on room count and building layout
What Affects the Price?
- Number of TV points — each additional room requires cable, connectors, and sometimes a decoder
- Cable run length — longer runs (double-storey, detached buildings) cost more
- Mounting type — wall mount, pole mount, or roof mount affects installation time
- LNB type — a standard single LNB is cheaper than a Smart LNB or quad LNB
- Suburb — travel distance from our base affects call-out pricing for remote areas
- Equipment supply — if you supply the dish/decoder, only labour and materials are charged

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Standard installations within our main service area have no call-out fee. For remote locations, we may add a small travel charge — always disclosed upfront.
Can I supply my own dish and decoder?
Yes. We charge for labour and any additional materials (cables, connectors, brackets) only. Many customers buy a decoder from a retail store and hire us for the installation.
How long does installation take?
A single-view installation typically takes 1–2 hours. Explora setups with multiple TV points can take 2–4 hours.
Do you give a warranty?
We warrant our installation workmanship. Equipment carries the manufacturer’s warranty. If a fault develops within a reasonable period after installation, we’ll come back and check it. Compare our rates against the official DStv packages to see the full value of professional local installation.
