DStv Extra View is the answer to the age-old family battle over the remote. It lets multiple rooms watch different channels on a single subscription.
Here’s how it works and what you need.
The Basics of Extra View
Extra View links a primary decoder (usually an Explora) to one or more secondary decoders. Each decoder can watch a different channel simultaneously, all on one account.
You pay a small additional monthly fee per linked decoder — much cheaper than a second full subscription.
What You Need to Set It Up
You’ll need compatible decoders and correct cabling between them (coax or a SMART LNB simplifies this). Proper linking is essential to avoid connection dropouts.
A professional setup ensures recordings, catch-up and live TV work seamlessly across all rooms.
Getting It Installed
Extra View is best installed by a technician who can plan neat cabling and configure the link correctly on your account.
