DStv Extra View lets your household watch different channels in different rooms on one subscription. Satellite Home Solutions installs and configures Extra View setups so the family never has to argue over the remote again.
We link two or more decoders correctly, run the required cabling, and configure the connection so each room enjoys independent viewing with a single monthly fee for the linked decoders.
How DStv Extra View Works
Extra View links a primary decoder (usually an Explora) to one or more secondary decoders. Each linked decoder can watch a different channel at the same time, all on one subscription with a small additional monthly fee per extra decoder.
The decoders communicate over a coaxial or heartbeat cable, which must be installed correctly to avoid connection dropouts. Our technicians ensure the link is stable and that recordings, catch-up and live TV work seamlessly across rooms.
The Right Setup for Your Home
We assess your home layout to plan the neatest, most reliable cable routing between rooms. Whether you need two rooms linked or a full multi-room setup, we recommend the correct decoders and configuration for your needs.
If you already own additional decoders, we can link them to your existing system. If you need equipment, we’ll advise on compatible options.
