The short answer

In 2026, installers in Gauteng commonly quote about R800 to R1,500 for a standard DStv installation, about R1,000 to R2,000 for an Explora and about R350 to R600 per extra TV point. Prices vary by installer, so use these as a guide and ask for an itemised quote.

Typical prices in 2026

Prices for the same job are broadly similar across Gauteng. What changes the total is the work involved.

JobTypical range
Standard single-view installationAbout R800 to R1,500
Explora or Explora Ultra installationAbout R1,000 to R2,000
Each extra TV point (Extra View)About R350 to R600
New 80 cm dish and bracket (parts only)Roughly R300 to R600
Moving and reinstalling a dish in good conditionOften similar to a standard installation, so get a quote for your job
Watch out
These ranges come from installer price guides published in 2026, and they don’t all agree. They are indicative, not a quote. Prices change, so confirm what is included before you compare quotes.

What moves the price up or down

  • The decoder: an Explora takes longer than a basic decoder.
  • The number of TVs: each extra point needs cable and a linked decoder.
  • The roof and access: tiled roofs and double storeys add time.
  • Cable runs and drilling: long runs and thick walls cost more.
  • Approvals: complexes and estates may need written permission first. See our guide.

Our full breakdown is in the national cost guide, and our tips for keeping costs down are in affordable installation options.

Frequently asked questions

The biggest differences come from the job itself: the decoder, the number of TVs, the roof and the cabling. Travel can add a little. Ask for an itemised quote.

Usually not. They cover labour and basic fittings. The decoder is bought separately.

Some installers charge one. Ask before you book. We explain every charge before work starts.

We cover most of it. Call us to confirm your suburb.
