DStv Explora Ultra Installation

The DStv Explora Ultra decoder is the latest Multichoice decoder in the market. It comes with new unique features, including built-in access to Netflix and other popular streaming apps. If you have recently bought one or you are planning to, here is what you need to install your new Explora Ultra decoder.

The basic equipment and devices for DStv installation

The required installation equipment is determined by the type of your house or premises which you are going to install your DStv Explora Ultra. If it is a stand-alone house or an apartment that uses its own satellite dish. The recommended Explora Ultra installation requires a Smart LNB, 80cm Satellite dish kit, Coaxial Cable and F-type connectors. 

Then if you are staying at a communal setup whereby you will be sharing the same dish with other apartments/houses. The Smart Switch will be required instead of a Smart LNB. 

Please also note that if you are going to install the satellite dish and the decoder by yourself you will also need a satellite signal finder machine. However, we highly recommend hiring professional DStv installers. Professional installers carry all the equipment and instruments required for the installation. We are your DStv Installer of choice!

How to Install DStv Explora Ultra?

First of all, you need to install your satellite dish. The position of your dish must be clear from obstacles like trees and buildings. Your dish must face 68.5 degrees east and the easiest way to know the direction is to just look at the other Dstv satellite dishes already installed around your area. Then you can use your Satellite signal finder machine to properly align your dish.

Then connect one end of your coaxial cable using F-connector to the Unicable port on the Smart LNB. The other end connects to your decoder port where it’s marked Unicable In. After all the connections, you can switch on your decoder and run the installation wizard.
