One Subscription, Three TVs
Watch different DStv channels on up to 3 TVs simultaneously on a single subscription. We install dual or quad LNB dishes, run dedicated RG6 cables to each point, and configure decoder linking for seamless multi-room viewing across the home.
Extra View is the most requested upgrade we do in Noordhoek, and for good reason: it ends the nightly negotiation over the remote. Rugby in the lounge, a series in the main bedroom and cartoons in the playroom, all running at the same time on one bill. The catch is that Extra View only works as well as its cabling and linking, which is where an accredited installer earns their keep.
The Right Hardware for Multi-Room Viewing
A standard single-output LNB cannot feed multiple decoders independently. Depending on your decoder mix we fit a dual, quad or smart LNB on your existing dish, or upgrade the dish itself if it is older or wind-worn. Each viewing point then gets its own dedicated RG6 feed, terminated with weatherproof F-connectors at the dish end because Noordhoek's salt air shows no mercy to bargain fittings.
The decoders are then linked with the heartbeat connection that lets MultiChoice run them on one subscription. Done properly, the system simply works. Done badly, you get the dreaded scenario of one decoder losing authorisation every few days. We test every link before we sign off.
Designed Around Your Home
Double-storey homes in Sun Valley need vertical cable routes planned around geysers and ceiling insulation. Hillside houses under Chapman's Peak often want the dish on a sheltered elevation with longer runs to the far rooms. Older Noordhoek farmhouses may need surface conduit that respects the character of the building. We plan the route with you before drilling, and we clip and dress every cable so the finished job looks as good as it performs.
Linking, Testing and Handover
Once the hardware is in, we configure decoder linking, confirm each decoder's authorisation with MultiChoice, and test live viewing in every room, switching channels on all TVs at once to prove full independence. You get a quick tour of how recording and viewing interact across rooms, plus our workmanship warranty on the whole installation.
