The DStv Explora Ultra records in 4K, carries Dolby Atmos sound and has Wi-Fi built in, so Showmax, Netflix and Box Office sit on the same box as your DStv channels.
The Wi-Fi is the part that catches people out in the bigger houses up here. A router at the front of the house often will not reach a decoder in the back lounge, and the apps then stutter while the satellite channels look perfectly fine. We test the signal where the decoder actually stands and cable it instead if that is the sensible answer.
Premium subscribers also get access to Showmax streaming and live SuperSport coverage.

The DStv Explora is still the workhorse for most families here: record a series while you watch something else, pause live sport when someone rings the gate bell, and pull back whatever you missed on Catch Up.
We set it up rather than just plug it in. That means a dish signal with enough margin to survive a summer storm, recordings that actually save, and you knowing how to drive the thing before we leave.
Freestanding houses in this part of Tshwane tend to have a lounge, a TV room and a bedroom or two that all want a screen. DStv Extra View ties a second decoder to your main one so two TVs can watch different channels on a single subscription.
The work is mostly cabling. We run the heartbeat cable between the two decoders, keep it out of sight where the house allows, then do the pairing and the activation so you are not stuck on a call to MultiChoice.
Line of sight is the whole job in the older parts of Pretoria North. Mature garden trees sit exactly where the dish needs to look, and an installation that was perfect ten years ago can fail simply because a tree kept growing.
We survey the property before mounting and find a position that clears it: a different wall, a higher mast, or a pole in the garden. The dish then goes up on fixings suited to the wall, aligned on a meter rather than by eye, every connector sealed. Realignment starts from R450 if the dish itself is sound.
An extra TV point is a dedicated coaxial run to the room you want, finished at a neat wall plate instead of a cable trailing down the passage.
Houses of this age were never wired for it, so the route is the whole question. We take it through the roof space and drop it inside a wall or behind the skirting wherever the construction allows, and we say upfront if a particular room is going to need surface trunking instead.
Large lounges are unforgiving on sound. Speakers in the wrong spot give you dialogue you cannot make out and bass that rattles the windows.
We fit soundbars and full surround systems, place the speakers to suit the room rather than the diagram on the box, hide the cabling, and balance the levels once it is all connected. If you are running an Explora Ultra we configure it for Dolby Atmos where the rest of your equipment supports it.
Most homes here are solid brick, which is the easy case: the correct bracket, the correct fixings, and the TV is going nowhere.
Drywall, cladding and the boxed-in wall above a fireplace need more thought, and those are where badly mounted TVs come down. We establish what is behind the surface first, fix into something structural rather than plasterboard alone, set the height for where you actually sit, and drop the power and HDMI cabling inside the wall so nothing hangs.
Load-shedding is hard on decoders. Repeated hard power cuts kill power supplies, corrupt hard drives and leave a unit stuck in a boot loop.
We repair and replace Explora and HD decoders, and we diagnose properly first, because an E48-32 on the screen is far more often a dish or connector fault than a dead decoder. Repairs carry a six-month warranty. The R550 call-out covers the visit and the diagnosis, and it forms part of the job if you go ahead.
