DStv Installation Cost in Pretoria: What You’ll Pay in 2026

By the Remtech Installers team · Updated October 2026 · 3 min read

The short answer

In Pretoria in 2026, a standard DStv installation commonly costs about R800 to R1,500, an Explora about R1,000 to R2,000, and each extra TV point about R350 to R600. A move costs more than a simple repair, so check whether you need the dish moved or replaced.

Typical prices in 2026

Pretoria jobs range from new installations to moves between homes, and each has a different cost profile.

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.
