explora

Hi, I currently have a DSTV Explora 2 and an HD PVR 4 tuner connected via extra view. An accredited installer came out and changed my LNB to a smart LNB and did the whole set up. A heartbeat was also installed. The HD PVR 4 tuner stopped working and I need to get a new decoder however, I do...

I am frustrated by having to use the DSTV Explora on-screen keyboard to sign in to Showmax. My email address is quite long and my password is a mix of upper and lower case characters, numbers and special characters. It can take me 2 or 3 minutes to sign in which is why I don't watch much...

Hi all Can someone please advise on how I can lock our Explora decoder completely? In other words, stop it from connecting for periods of time? My problem is that when I am away everyone lounges and watches DSTV most of the day and nothing gets done, extremely frustrating. I have tried the...

Hi, I have a DSTV PVR and am thinking of getting an Explora. Will I be able to transfer all my current recordings to the Explora? If I can't, can I keep and use both the PVR and Explora? How would I be able to do this? Thanks.

Good day fellow techies and DIYers, I would assistance with the dish alignment / Smart LNB skew as I'm having a problem with the signal qualities of the tuner userbands. I'm currently all getting signal qualities in the teens and signal strengths mostly in the upper 70's and 80's. The...

Hey folks, I've just moved in to a newly renovated apartment and want to plug in DSTV Explora. But I'm not sure what existing cables coming out of the wall go where and or whether I need the DSTV Switch (which doesnt come with the Explora anymore). So basically there are 3 coax cables coming...

Hi guys I went ahead and got that Explora, to add to my SD PVRI (yeah, I know I have to get a new one but just wanted to clear my viewing list first) -- but as soon as the Explora was connected, I lost BOTH my PVR's channels. Meaning, where I was supposed to be able to view an Explora channel...

At my flat, I currently have a port available that can be activated and we can get DSTV on that. The problem is that the port is in the kitchen and I want the TV's to be set up in the rooms. Would it be best to run the cables through the roof or an alternative, or is there some way this can be...

My 1st gen HD PVR's hard drive has something wrong with it and now I can't do any PVR related stuff (record, watch recordings and catch-up). Been thinking that I might as well get the Explora but the price has decreased this year, maybe since last year already but I don't look at decoder prices...

Hi there Does anybody know if its possible to buy a multi-core coaxial (RG6) cable? The reason I ask is that to install DSTV Explora with Xtraview will require up to 7 coaxial cables: (7 coaxial cables make your home look like you are running a Google server!) 2x from LNB to DSTV Explora...

I upgraded my PVR to Explora yesterday and want to set up my PVR for Extraview. I've connected everything and the Explora is working great, problems with the PVR for Extraview. I get error E143-4 regarding the heartbeat from the Explora. I've checked the Explora and it is sending the heartbeat...

I'm in a peculiar situation here. Never before had DSTV and I never thought I'd want it. BUT I can't get Internet like I had at my old home, recently moved to Nelspruit, as Telkom don't have infrastructure, also I'm surrounded by trees so can't get WISP like BitCo. Seeing as we used Internet...
