The standard price for the decoder and installation – which one would assume will kick in after the launch special expires – is R699. DStv strikes back ...

He purchased a new Explora Ultra Decoder from Everyshop for R2,499 — discounted from the usual R3,699 — which came with a voucher for free installation.

The installation of your DStv will consist of setting up your decoder to your television, ensuring that you have the best possible sound and video according to what your current set up can offer.

The slimmer, more compact decoder sells standalone for R399 or R599 including installation.

MultiChoice has unveiled its new, next generation DStv decoder - the Explora - which comes loaded with terabytes more recording space and enhanced functionality.
