What is DStv Dual View? – Prices & Setup
DStv has managed to create a presence in many countries due to its great programming. More people are adding DStv decoders to their homes, and with all the great channels it has, you can understand why. However, if you have a DStv decoder at home, a major challenge you will experience is a lack of order in watching. With DStv dual view, you are sorted!
In any household, everyone has a unique tastes, and they might be different from those of everyone else in the house. This can cause some drifts, especially if everyone’s favourite program is running simultaneously. DStv has created a solution for this and it is called DStv Dual View.
It is a convenient way to connect multiple decoders to one and enjoying the flexibility it has to offer. You can now connect different TVs in the house to different decoders, and everyone can watch or record their favourite shows. It is convenient because you won’t need to pay for an additional subscription to enjoy DStv Dual View.
All you need to do is purchase additional Dual View decoders and connect them to your primary decoder. The package you have subscribed to will appear on all the additional decoders, and you can now enjoy your favourite shows uninterrupted.
How do you Connect DStv Cables?
Although it is a convenient way to enjoy watching DStv at home, making a DStv Dual View connection is challenging for many people. Linking up to three decoders will need some knowledge of DStv connections. If you don’t have it, you can learn. It is simple and will give you a new and entertaining perspective.
Before connecting your cables, you should ensure your decoders are DStv Dual View capable. You can check for this from Multichoice. In the connection, one decoder must be a DStv Explora to obtain the best experience.
Once you have all the required items, you can begin linking your decoders using an LNB cable. You should ensure your cables are connected to the right ports, and you can check from the user manual to ensure you do it right. Once you have connected your DStv Dual View, everyone can begin watching uninterrupted, and recording shows when you want to.
