**DSTV Xtraview Self-Installation**

[Zarathustra]

We currently have a standard DSTV installation. Just purchased two 1130 decoders & was let down by the installer. How difficult can an Xtraview installtion be?!?

Anyone have information or help on a performing a self-installation?!?

here is a pdf explaining how to do xtraview, its relatively painless seems dstv don't want people doing self-installation anymore since this pdf is no longer on their website

been there done that and have plenty of tshirts
basically you need to get a twin lnb, and swop the current one you have, the twin has to be positioned exactly as the old one was, then run the extra cable fron the lnb link the lnb to your new decoder then link the 2 by heart beat cable.
its just a bit of hard work, but not dificult, like i said the most important is to make sure to position the lnb corectly
