Frequently Asked Questions
While it’s possible to connect the cables yourself, professional installation is strongly recommended for several reasons: warranty protection (DIY installation may void your warranty), optimal signal configuration, proper Wi-Fi setup, and access to all advanced features. Our common DStv installation questions page covers this in detail. For the best experience and guaranteed performance, professional installation is worth the investment.
Our average installation time is 60-90 minutes for a standard Explora setup. This includes site assessment, signal optimization, decoder configuration, and client education. If additional work is needed like adding extra TV points or replacing cables, it may take longer. We provide a time estimate when you request a quote for Explora installation.
All our installations come with a 12-month warranty. If you experience any signal issues after installation, simply contact us and we’ll return to diagnose and fix the problem at no cost. We also offer ongoing support for any questions about using your Explora. For existing signal issues before installation, we’ll identify and address them during the setup process.
Yes, absolutely! We specialize in all DStv decoder models. If you have the new Explora Ultra with 4K capabilities, we have specific expertise in its installation. The Explora Ultra requires additional considerations for 4K picture quality and streaming optimization. Visit our Explora Ultra installation page for more information.
Not necessarily. Most existing satellite dishes work fine with Explora decoders, provided they’re properly aligned and in good condition. During our site assessment, we check your dish alignment and LNB condition. If upgrades are needed, we offer professional satellite dish installation and LNB replacement services.
For Showmax, Catch Up, and software updates, we recommend at least 4-6 Mbps. For optimal performance, especially in households with multiple users, 10+ Mbps is ideal. During installation, we test your Wi-Fi connectivity and can recommend WiFi extension solutions if needed to ensure strong signal where your decoder is placed.
