    OpenView Installation FAQs

    How much does OpenView installation cost?

    OpenView installation costs vary based on equipment and complexity:

    • Standard installation with HD decoder: R1,800 – R2,500
    • Installation with PVR decoder: R2,500 – R3,200
    • Additional TV points: R650 – R950 each

    This includes dish, LNB, cabling, decoder, and professional installation. No monthly fees – ever! Request an OpenView installation quote for a specific price.

    How long does OpenView installation take?

    Standard OpenView installation takes 2-3 hours, including dish mounting, cable routing, alignment, and decoder setup. If additional TV points are needed, add 30-60 minutes per point. See our satellite installation guide →

    What channels do I get with OpenView?

    OpenView offers 20+ channels including SABC 1-3, e.tv, SABC News, SABC Sport, eMovies, eExtra, One Gospel, Mzansi Music, PBS Kids, and more. The lineup occasionally changes, but always provides great variety without subscription fees.

    Can I use my existing DStv dish for OpenView?

    In most cases, yes! OpenView uses the same satellite dish and LNB as DStv. If you already have a DStv dish, we can often connect OpenView to it (either sharing with DStv or as a standalone). We’ll assess during consultation. Learn about satellite dish placement →

    Do I need a separate dish for OpenView if I have DStv?

    Not necessarily. With a quad LNB, one dish can support both DStv and OpenView simultaneously. This is a popular solution for households wanting both services. We can set this up during installation.

    Can I record shows with OpenView?

    Yes, if you choose the OpenView HD PVR decoder. It includes a built-in hard drive for recording, pausing, and rewinding live TV. The standard HD decoder does not have recording capabilities.

    Do you offer wall mounting for my TV?

    Yes! We can combine your OpenView installation with TV wall mounting services and HDMI extension installations for a complete, professional entertainment setup with no visible cables.
