Moving house? We remove your existing DSTV setup at the old property, reinstall the dish and decoder at the new one, re-run any new cabling that's needed, reconfigure the decoder for the new location, and test everything before we leave — anywhere across Franschhoek, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Wellington and the wider Winelands.
How a DSTV relocation works
A typical relocation is a two-visit job, but we can often do both in one day if the two properties are close together. At the old property we carefully unmount the dish, coil the cable, disconnect the decoder, and make sure we leave the wall in a reasonable state (we'll fill the bracket holes if you ask). At the new property we walk the site, pick the best dish position (see our dish positioning guidance), mount the bracket, re-align the dish, run new cable to your nominated room, and reconnect the decoder.
Whatever can be reused (dish, LNB, bracket, decoder) gets reused. Whatever's damaged or unsuitable for the new property gets replaced and quoted up front — for a complete fresh install at the new address, see new DSTV installation.
What we usually need to replace
Cable runs are almost always different at the new property, so a fresh run of RG6 from the new dish position to the new TV point is standard. F-connectors get replaced as a matter of routine — they're cheap and water-damaged ones cause most callbacks. Brackets often get swapped if the new wall is brick rather than fibrecement (or vice versa). The dish itself, LNB and decoder usually transfer fine — though if you're moving from an HD setup to a property where you want recording, this is a good moment to upgrade to DSTV Explora.
Updating your DSTV account
You'll need to update your address with MultiChoice — we can guide you through the process if you're not sure. The decoder doesn't need a new smartcard, and your subscription, recordings (on Explora) and Extra View configuration all carry over to the new home.
