DStv installation Gauteng
DStv installation across Gauteng
From the tree-lined streets of Pretoria to the wind on the West Rand ridge, Gauteng throws different problems at a satellite dish depending on where you stand. We install across the whole province, and we install for the conditions.
Gauteng is not one satellite environment. It is several.
Gauteng is not one satellite environment, it is several. Pretoria’s magnificent old trees stand between a great many roofs and the satellite. The West Rand ridge above Roodepoort and Krugersdorp is genuinely windy, and a dish is a sail. The East Rand takes more lightning than anywhere else in the province, and lightning finds LNBs.
So a DStv installation that is right for Sandton is not automatically right for Benoni. We survey the line of sight before we drill, we specify the bracket for the wind the site actually gets, and on the East Rand we earth the installation properly rather than treating it as an optional extra.
Below is every Gauteng area we install in. Each has its own page with local suburbs, a map and the specific thing that tends to go wrong there.

DStv installation in Gauteng — your questions
The questions we are asked most across the province.
Not sure what is wrong?
WhatsApp us the error code on the screen and a photo of your dish. We can usually narrow a DStv fault down before a technician is even dispatched.
WhatsApp 063 866 0971Do you install DStv across all of Gauteng?
Yes. Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Fourways, Bryanston, Morningside, Woodmead, Sunninghill, Pretoria, Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, Kempton Park, Germiston, Alberton, Benoni, Brakpan and Springs, the wider East Rand and Krugersdorp. Each area has its own page.
How much does a DStv installation cost in Gauteng?
It depends on the dish, the LNB, the cabling required and how many decoders you want to run. An Extra View setup with two or three decoders needs a twin or quad LNB and a dedicated feed per tuner, so it costs more than a single-decoder install. We quote everything upfront.
Why does the dish position matter so much in Gauteng?
Because line of sight varies enormously across the province. Pretoria and the older Johannesburg suburbs have mature trees that block the satellite. Complexes and estates restrict where a dish may be mounted. The obvious wall is frequently the wrong one, and we would rather find that out at the survey than after we have drilled.
Do you install in estates and complexes?
Routinely. Dainfern, Midstream, Silver Lakes, Meyersdal and most of the Fourways and Centurion estates all have contractor access rules and architectural guidelines about dish visibility. We book in properly and we work within them.
Can you install DStv and mount my TV in one visit?
Yes, and it is much the most sensible approach. One callout, and the cabling for both gets planned and concealed together instead of one being retro-fitted around the other.
Do you do Extra View installations?
Yes. Extra View needs a twin or quad LNB and a dedicated feed to each decoder tuner — not a split cable, which is the most common bodge we are called out to undo. See our Extra View page.
