I recently changed homes and found the previous owner (who was emigrating) was kind enough to leave the satellite dish on. It is an ElSat dish. I'm looking at the possibility of getting Open view HD (don't judge me ;) ) which is compatible with Top Tv but not Dstv dish installations. How do I tell which my dish installation is for?
 
If it's old it's Dstv and I could be wrong but Top Tv had their own branding if I recall.
For HD you might consider getting a newer larger dish if it is a old one.
 
In Cape Town at least (further south..) The Top TV dish points "to the sky", while the DSTV dish points to the horizon.
