Extra View Setup in Hermanus: what to expect

Many Hermanus homes have a lounge TV and a bedroom or two that have never had DSTV, and guest houses want every room covered. Extra View links a second decoder to your main subscription so different rooms can watch different channels at the same time.

The part people underestimate is the cabling. Each decoder needs its own cable run from the dish, so we plan the route through the roof space and walls before we start, and we check that the dish's LNB can feed more than one decoder. Done properly it looks as if it was always part of the house.

What's Included

Questions about Extra View Setup in Hermanus

Do I need a new dish to add Extra View?

Not always. The dish can often stay, but the LNB must have enough outputs for each decoder. We check what you have first and replace only the parts that need it.

Can each room watch a different channel?

Yes, that is the point of Extra View. Each decoder works independently on the same subscription, so one room can watch sport while another watches a film.
