Explora & HD Decoder Upgrades in Randburg
Older SD decoders can't take advantage of everything DStv now offers — HD picture, catch-up, streaming apps and recording. Upgrading usually means a new LNB (Smart LNB for Explora) as well as the decoder itself, so we check your current dish and cabling before recommending what actually needs to change.
What's included
- Compatibility check on your existing dish, LNB and cabling
- Smart LNB installation where required for Explora
- New decoder setup, activation and channel tuning
- Wi-Fi connection for catch-up and streaming apps
- Old decoder and unused cabling removed on request

Explora & HD Decoder Upgrades: common questions
Straight answers to what people usually ask before booking.
Often not — many existing dishes work fine with Explora once the LNB is swapped for a Smart LNB. We'll confirm this on site rather than assume you need a full new dish.
Yes, Explora Ultra supports built-in Wi-Fi for catch-up and apps like Showmax. We'll connect it to your home network as part of the setup.
