DSTV Installation

[JK8]

How do you get an extra connection and how much does it cost?

Also if you have the DSTV input on the external connection, can you still watch SABC, ETV and then have a seperate channel dedicated to DSTV?

 

[JK8]

Anyone?

I think you need to rethink your questions, as i don't really understand what you are asking.

 

[Ecco]

dont even know what you asking mate. rephrase

You need to get XtraView because they've phased out Dual View (which sucks - when my decoder got struck by lightining in Dec 08, I was forced to upgrade to HD PVR because they 'dont' sell dual view decoders anymore).

Ok

DSTV upstairs standard decoder. No dual view.
My room has the DSTV spilt connection.

But I cant get SABC, ETV, auto tuning only finds the DSTV channel.
How can I have SABC, ETV and then DSTV on a seperate channel?

Get a split box and add a normal arial to the top TV.

Is that the only way?
I dont wanna use an aerial...

 

[profpanda]

So if you don't have an aerial, how are you going to receive terrestrial broadcast?

Aerial or "Dualview"

If I'm not mistaken, I have one of those lying at home, which isn't in use.

I honestly fail to see how this will help you? Unless you have a dual view decoder, your single view decoder has only one output, unless you also have a terestrial antenna in place.

Yip! Looks like I have to use one for DSTV and the other for a "terrestrial" antenna...

Unless theres another option?

If i have another decoder, will I need to pay another subscription?

Are you wanting to get SABC etc seperately from DSTV?

Yip!
Eg: channel 1 on the TV should be Sabc1, 2 - Sabc 2.... Channel 4 Etv and then 5 DSTV....

There is DSTV XtraView now. you need two xtraview capable decoders and you pay an extra R60 per month.

 

[ToxicBunny]

You'll need an aerial then.. no other solution will work.

Seriously... Put up an antenna. Run it into the RF IN of the DSTV decoder. Split the RF OUT with an F-type 2-way splitter to the 2 TV's... or use a setback amp with a High and Low output if you have a long cable run.

Problem solved.
