Explora Ultra, Extraview and neat hidden cabling for large Constantia homes and security estates. Call or WhatsApp for a quote.
30 suburbs and estates in and around Constantia
Constantia homes are large, and the TV setup usually is too: a lounge, a study, a main bedroom and often a garden cottage, all expecting a clean picture. We install Explora Ultra with Extraview, run hidden cabling so no wires show on your walls, and place the dish where mature trees will not block it. We work across Constantia, Bishopscourt, Bergvliet, Tokai and Meadowridge, and in the security estates around Silverhurst and Steenberg. Call or WhatsApp 081 232 2249 and tell us how many rooms you want connected.
Every DSTV job we do, done the way Constantia homes need it.
Trees and the north-east. Constantia and Bishopscourt are among the leafiest parts of Cape Town. The dish faces north-east, and an oak or a pine that was small when the dish went up can now block it. If your picture breaks up after rain or in summer leaf, we meter the signal, check the line of sight and move the dish to a clear spot, usually higher on the roof or on a pole above the canopy.
Big houses, long runs. A cable from a roof dish to a study at the far end of a large house can run 30 metres or more. Long runs, extra joins and old cable lower the signal at the TV. We use one continuous run of UV-stable RG6 per TV point and finish with compression connectors. For a premium finish we use painted trunking or in-wall routes that suit the room.
Estates, access and slopes. Estates such as Silverhurst, Steenberg and Silvertree usually run contractor access lists and design rules for visible dishes. Send us the details when you book and we will arrange access. Homes higher up the Constantiaberg slopes are more exposed to wind and winter rain, so we use galvanised brackets and check every connector for water.
The calls we get most often here, and what the fix usually involves.
In a large lounge the TV is often far from the nearest decoder point. We mount the bracket level into the wall, then run the cable either inside the wall or in trunking painted to match, so nothing hangs below the screen. The price depends on whether the wall is drywall or brick and how far the cable has to run, so send a photo of the wall on WhatsApp 081 232 2249.
Extraview runs on a Smart LNB, so an older LNB has to be swapped before the second decoder can be linked. We fit a Smart LNB, re-aim the dish with a meter and link the second decoder to the same account. The price depends on the dish and LNB you already have, so call or WhatsApp 081 232 2249 and we will tell you what the upgrade involves. Explora Ultra setup includes Wi-Fi, apps and recording.
A guest cottage or a staff room at the bottom of the garden needs its own TV signal, but nobody wants a long cable across the lawn or a dish on the main roofline. We fit an 80cm dish on a wall bracket at the cottage, hide the cable in the eaves, and either link it to the main account or use OpenView, depending on what you need.

Constantia is a valley of old wine farms, large gardens and gated estates, with neighbouring suburbs on every side. These are the suburbs, estates and farms we cover. We also work across the rest of the Cape Town metro, so call if yours is not listed.
Same team, same number. One visit can cover more than one job.

Most DSTV jobs in Constantia are a single visit. The price depends on the job, your roof and the cable run, and travel to Constantia is included in the quote we give you upfront.
Send a photo of the dish, the fault or the wall on WhatsApp and we’ll come back with a price, usually within working hours.
Yes, in most homes. We route cable through the ceiling void and down inside the wall, or use trunking painted to match. Solid brick may need chasing, which we quote separately. The price depends on the wall type and the length of the run, so send a photo of the wall to 081 232 2249 on WhatsApp and we will give you a price. If it is not clear from the photo, we look at the wall on a site visit first.
Most security estates do. They typically ask for names, ID details and a vehicle registration ahead of the visit, and some limit working hours. Tell us the estate when you book and we will confirm what we need. We can also check your homeowners' association rules about where a visible dish may sit.
An Explora Ultra needs a Smart LNB, and DStv recommends an 80cm dish with it. That suits most Constantia homes. If trees or a slope reduce the signal margin, we may recommend a different position or a larger dish after a meter check. We confirm the equipment before we quote the final price.
Yes. We cover Tokai, Bergvliet, Meadowridge, Kirstenhof, Wynberg, Plumstead and Hout Bay as well as Constantia and Bishopscourt. Call or WhatsApp with your suburb. Hout Bay may add some travel to a small job, and we will confirm that when we give you the price.
Wet leaves, heavy rain and wind-blown branches can all weaken the signal on a dish that sits low or under trees. We meter the signal, check the connectors for water and look at the line of sight. Moving the dish above the canopy and replacing old connectors is the usual fix.
We cover the towns around Constantia on the same routes.
Call or WhatsApp with your area and the problem, or send a photo of the dish. You get a clear price before we start, and a technician who arrives with the parts.
