Where Can I Find Affordable Satellite TV Installation Packages in My Area?

By the Remtech Installers team · Updated October 2026 · 4 min read

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.

Installation or subscription: know what you are shopping for

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.

Seven ways to keep the cost down

  1. Get two or three itemised quotes so you compare like with like.
  2. Bundle jobs into one visit, for example Extra View, TV mounting and a Smart LNB.
  3. Reuse healthy equipment. A good dish and cable don’t need replacing.
  4. Ask about call-out fees before you book.
  5. Choose the right decoder. Don’t pay for features you won’t use.
  6. Check DStv’s own promotions on decoders before you buy.
  7. Make access easy. A clear path to the TV and roof keeps the job short.

Cheap versus good value

  • Very low prices that leave out cable, alignment or a signal test.
  • No clear answer on accreditation.
  • No invoice or job card.

Frequently asked questions

Ask us when you request your quote. We price each job individually and will tell you if combining work saves you money.

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.
