Sat Digital provides fast DStv installation and repairs in Camps Bay, including urgent No Signal and E48-32 fault fixes, dish alignment, Extra View linking, and Explora setups.

The Access Fee gives you an additional viewing environment without having to pay an extra subscription, and so saves you money. This additional environment can be through another decoder connected in XtraView or through the recording capacity on your decoder.
With XtraView, you can link either two or three decoders together under ONE subscription (and only pay a monthly Access Fee for the other decoders).
When linking two decoders, you will pay your normal monthly subscription plus ONE Access Fee. If one of the decoders is a PVR, you are already paying an Access Fee, so don’t need to pay any more – this means that monthly viewing on your second decoder is FREE!
When linking three decoders, you will pay your normal monthly subscription plus TWO Access Fees.
