The short answer
Installation and your DStv subscription are separate costs, so “affordable” means a fair installation price plus a package you’ll actually use. Compare two or three itemised quotes, bundle jobs into one visit, reuse healthy equipment and check what’s included. The cheapest headline price is rarely the cheapest job.
Your installer charges for labour and parts. DStv charges for your viewing package. They’re two different bills, so check each one on its own. Package prices are on DStv’s website. For the installation side, read our 2026 cost guide.
| Combination | Why bundling helps | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| Extra View and a decoder upgrade | One visit covers the cabling and the new decoder | Extra View installations |
| TV mounting and Apple TV setup | Cables are hidden and everything is connected at once | Apple TV installations |
| Relocation and an extra TV point | The new home is wired the way you want from day one | DStv relocation |
Our guide to choosing an installer shows how to tell the difference.
Local coverage keeps call-out costs down and makes follow-up visits easy. We install across Gauteng, including Sandton, Randburg, Bedfordview, Centurion, Midrand and Pretoria East.
We don’t sell one-size-fits-all packages. We price your actual job, explain the price before we start, and tell you where combining visits could save you money. Our quotes are free, and our workmanship carries a 3-month warranty.
Copy this into a note on your phone and fill it in for every quote you get.

Sometimes. Compare the total price, check what the installation includes and find out who does the installing.
Installers include different things, such as cable length, brackets, alignment and warranty. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare the same job.
Not always, but very low prices often leave things out. Compare what’s included and check accreditation.
Ask your installer. Payment terms differ between companies, and anything agreed should be in writing.
As soon as you know you need it. You’ll have a choice of time slots and can compare quotes without rushing.
