DStv Installation & Repairs: Same-Day Accredited Installer Near You
Is your DStv stuck on E48-32 No Signal? Did the wind move your dish? Are you moving house and need a full DStv relocation?
If you need professional DStv Installation & Repairs, you need an accredited installer who fixes it right the first time, not a handyman who guesses the signal.
At Satellite Masters, we are MultiChoice-accredited DStv installers, serving the entire East Rand, Johannesburg and Pretoria. We install and repair DStv for homes, complexes, townhouses and businesses.
Why Our DStv Installation & Repairs Service Lasts Longer
Most DStv problems are not your decoder. They are installation problems. In Gauteng, we see three main causes:
1. Dish Misalignment:
Highveld thunderstorms and strong winds move your dish by 2- 3 mm. That is enough to lose 40% signal quality. A decoder alone cannot fine-tune this.
2. Failed LNB or Water Damage:
Cheap LNBs crack in the sun. Water gets into the cable and rusts the connection. This causes intermittent signal loss, especially in the afternoon.
3. Bad Cabling:
Many installers use cheap RG59 cable or leave cables exposed. We only use SANS-approved RG6 quad-shielded cable with waterproof compression connectors.
We fix the root cause, not just the error message.

At Satellite Masters, we provide end-to-end DStv solutions designed to meet the needs of homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses. Instead of dealing with multiple contractors, you can rely on one experienced team for every aspect of your satellite television system.

Want DStv in 3 rooms without paying 3 full subscriptions? ExtraView is the legal way.
Many installers fail at ExtraView because they do not run the heartbeat cable or configure the primary and secondary decoders correctly. This causes freezing.
Our ExtraView installation includes:
- Correct Smart LNB and splitter configuration
- Heartbeat cable linking primary and secondary decoders
- Primary/secondary setup in decoder menu
- Signal balancing so both decoders get a strong signal
Watch different channels in different rooms, pay for one account.

We offer safe removal and reinstallation:
- Professional de-installation without damaging your roof
- Dish and LNB safety check

This is cheaper than a full new installation.
