Replacing Satellite dish what are my options

[Polymathic]

So my parents dish has finally given up it seems, currently have the new single view hd decoder, got a quotes for between 590 to 900 rand for replacing the dish. But here's the thing doing a bedroom renovation and they want to put to put a TV in the bedroom, which basically means another decoder. For that I got a quote of R2200 with another HD Decoder (single view) or 3500 for the PVR. but I've seen this deal online: http://www.kalahari.com/Technology/DStv-DSD4136-4U-HD-Decoder-Fully-Installed_p_49248884

Just bare in mind that the special on Kalahari is the MC subsidized price and and extra view set up is going to require a twin LNB, (possibly) a multiswitch and a heartbeat cable. Considering all that those prices sound about right.

We used to have up till recently the following setup.

One Hd decoder in the front of the house, with a 4 way antenna splitter that was fed to the rooms.
You get this little red eye capsule you connect the antenna Arial cable to before it went into the tv.
With a normal Dstv remote you can then change the channels in the front of the house in the bedroom.
Else just hook up a normal single view decoder as an xtra view.
