Get the setup right the first time

OpenView is not simply DStv without a subscription. It uses a different satellite position and has its own decoder activation process. An old dish may be reusable, but it has to be realigned accurately. Trying to turn the dish by eye usually ends with unstable channels or no picture at all.

In Betty's Bay, Kogelberg wind, salt spray, dense fynbos and houses that often stand empty make solid mounting and sealed connectors important. A holiday property also benefits from a service that has no account to suspend while the house is empty.

Where we work

We cover Betty's Bay and nearby areas including Kleinmond, Pringle Bay, Rooi Els and Hangklip. If you are just outside that area, call and ask. We will confirm availability before you book.

What the service includes

  • Check the proposed dish position and line of sight
  • Mount or inspect the dish and bracket
  • Fit the correct LNB and weatherproof the connector
  • Align to the OpenView satellite with a signal meter
  • Connect and activate the decoder
  • Tune the channels and explain the remote

Who this suits

  • Homes that want free television without a monthly bill
  • Holiday houses that stand empty between visits
  • A second bedroom or flat where a full DStv account is unnecessary
  • Landlords who want a simple basic service available at handover

Clear advice before you spend

We start with what you already have. If suitable equipment can be reused, we will say so. If a bracket, cable or device is the source of the problem, we explain why before replacing it. You receive a clear scope before work starts.

Installation quality matters most where hardware is outside. We use appropriate fixings, seal external connectors and test the finished system rather than leaving as soon as a picture appears.

OpenView FAQs

What is OpenView?
A free-to-air satellite service with no monthly subscription. You buy the decoder and dish once, and then there is nothing to pay each month.
How many channels do you get?
Around twenty-odd TV channels plus radio. It is a smaller selection than DStv, and it does not carry the same live sport.
Can I use my old DStv dish?
Often yes, but OpenView uses a different satellite, so the dish needs realigning and usually a different LNB. We check on site rather than guessing.
Is OpenView a good option in Betty's Bay?
It suits a holiday house or a second TV well, because there is nothing to pay while nobody is there. Plenty of homes around Betty's Bay run OpenView alongside a DStv account.
Can I have both OpenView and DStv?
Yes, with either separate dishes or one dish set up for both. We will tell you which is practical at your house.
Do you install and activate it?
Yes, dish, decoder and activation. Call 079 754 5527 and we will sort it in one visit.
