Top-Rated Satellite TV Installers Near You: How to Choose One You Can Trust

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

The short answer

Check three things: accreditation (MultiChoice publishes a list), recent reviews with real detail, and a written quote that includes a warranty. We can’t honestly crown “the best” installer for you, but we can show you how to compare installers fairly, including us.

Start with accreditation

MultiChoice has long told subscribers to choose from its published list of accredited installers rather than whoever shows up first in a search. Some installers also use MultiChoice logos on vehicles, adverts and invoices without being accredited, so verify before you book.

  • Check the company name against MultiChoice’s accredited installer list on the DStv website.
  • Ask for the installer’s ID and make sure the invoice or job card carries the company name.
  • Ask which accreditation level the technician holds.
Good to know
Plenty of honest, capable installers choose not to be accredited. But with an accredited installer you work to MultiChoice’s standards, and you carry less of the risk.

Read reviews like a detective

  • Look at recent reviews, not just the average star rating.
  • Look for specifics: what was installed, how long it took, what it cost.
  • Notice how the owner replies to a bad review.
  • Be wary of lots of near-identical five-star reviews posted on the same day.
  • Ask for a past customer in your area you can speak to.

Why “near me” matters, and where it stops

A nearby installer can usually reach you faster and come back quickly if something goes wrong. Just don’t choose on distance alone. We cover areas like Sandton, Pretoria East, Centurion and Midrand, and plenty more across Gauteng.

Check us the same way

We’re an accredited MultiChoice installer (Level 4) with over 10 years of experience, and our workmanship carries a 3-month warranty. Don’t just take our word for it. Ask us the questions in the table above, get a second quote and read more about us.

A 10-minute vetting routine

  1. Search the installer’s company name on MultiChoice’s accredited list.
  2. Read the latest ten reviews, not only the best ones.
  3. Call and ask the questions in the table above.
  4. Request an itemised quote by message or email.
  5. Put two quotes side by side.
  6. Choose the one that is clear, accredited and fair, not just the cheapest.

If something goes wrong

  1. Call the installer and describe the fault clearly. Photos help.
  2. Check your invoice and warranty to see what is covered.
  3. Give them a fair chance to fix it, and note dates and times.
  4. If they don’t respond, ask another installer to inspect the work and write down what they find.
  5. If an installer claimed to be accredited and wasn’t, you can raise it with MultiChoice.

Frequently asked questions

Not always. Compare what’s included, such as cable length, bracket, alignment and signal test, as well as the warranty and accreditation.

Two or three is plenty. Ask each for an itemised quote so you’re comparing the same job.

Yes, but ask about call-out fees and how quickly they can return if something goes wrong.

Ask them to fix it under their warranty first. If they won’t, have another installer assess the work and keep your invoice.

Size matters less than accreditation, clear quotes and a written warranty. Ask both the same questions.

No. They are one clue. Combine them with an accreditation check, a written quote and how the installer answers your questions.
