Greets Friends,

The time has come where the missus wants DSTV.
We've been living our lives on Netflix / Hulu while we could,however due to certain circumstances we have to put this on hold for hopefully a short while (more than a year probably)

So to try and fill the gap,we would like DSTV.

Now here's the actual question:

How is the best way to go about setting up this service?
I don't have a dish or decoder or account.

We don't need the best or greatest,but if you tell me the explora is the way to go,i would consider it(no internet connection though)

We are looking at upgrading/replacing our TV as well,HD content would be nice.What is the best way to get two different channels on the same account in this setup as well?
I remember back when i was with the rents they had something like extra view one could purchase for an account and use a secondary decoder?
Would i be able to have the signal(2 channels) pushed to 4 tv's at the same time?

Thanks for reading
 
As much as I hate Multichoice, here's some direction:

Get an accredited DStv installer and all your needs will be met.

Before I saw the light ala Netflix and Hulu and streams.

I called an installer, he said buy a HD PVR plus SD decoder and he will bring the dish, LNB, splitters, cables.
I went to Game, bought an HD PVR plus SD decoder.
He installed everything and I paid him.
He Called Multichoice, subscribed to Premium HD PVR and xtraview for the other TV.
Called them again a few months later and cancelled. :(
