DSTV Xtraview on 3 Decoders....

[KGB8405]

Hi. Currently I am running 2 DSTV subscriptions in order for 4 TV's to each have their own channel. I saw recently that you can run three decoders on 1 subscription (which means I can cancel one subscription). My Current Setup is Explora (Primary) to HD Decoder (Secondary -Small Black one). The other setup is 2 of the small HD Decoders, one primary, one secondary. I use a one dish.

How difficult will it be to change current setup to 3 decoders on one subcription without having to get someone out to do it? Any info would help.

Did exactly that. Split the extraview cable from the primary Explora using a double power pass splitter to 3rd decoder. All 3 decoders, like yours, individually connected to dish already. Phoned Multichuckle to reconfigure setup, accepted the extra R85 monthly charge and done.

So I cannot just run an extra heartbeat cable from Explora to 3rd decoder?

Heartbeat cable does not carry the actual signal. Still needs to be connected to an LNB.

Just wondering if anybody has a diagram to connect 3 decoders from slnb
