About DSTV Installer Umlazi
A DStv accredited installer is a business that MultiChoice has approved to install DStv dishes and decoders. According to DStv, accreditation is managed by MultiChoice Field Services, and installer teams must include staff who have completed MultiChoice’s basic installer training, own the right installation equipment and a commercial vehicle, and operate from a physical business address.
Many people advertise as “DStv installers” in Umlazi and Durban on social media and classifieds sites. Some are accredited and some are not. We do not list individual installers here unless they can be confirmed through DStv’s official channels.
Address, Contact Details and Trading Hours
Use DStv’s own tools rather than a phone number from an advert:
- DStv Accredited Installation: find an accredited installer, schedule an installation appointment or track an existing one.
- Track your DStv installation: check the status of a booked installation.
- DStv contact options: reach DStv directly if you are unsure about an installer.

Products or Services
Accredited installers can help with new satellite dish and decoder installations, moving a dish or decoder, extra TV points, signal problems, cabling and decoder setup. According to DStv, a decoder bought with an installation voucher or on contract includes:
- Installation by an accredited installer to one TV point for an HD single view decoder, or two TV points for an Explora or Ultra.
- Activation of your DStv services and a basic demonstration of the decoder.
- A 3-month warranty on workmanship and a 12-month warranty on equipment supplied.
DStv notes that extra travel, cabling or amplification may cost more and is for your account, so agree on these costs with the installer before work starts.
Directions and Transport
DStv installers come to your home, so you do not need to travel. When booking, give your section, street and a nearby landmark, and check the Umlazi Sections Map if the installer is not from the area.
What to Know Before Visiting
- Book through DStv’s accredited installation page, or check that the installer you found appears there, before anyone climbs onto your roof.
- Ask the installer to show identification and the name of the accredited company they work for.
- Get a written quote covering the dish, cable, brackets, extra TV points and travel before work begins.
- MultiChoice has warned about scammers posing as accredited installers who offer free package upgrades or “DStv for life” for a once-off fee. No genuine installer can sell you a permanent free subscription.
- Pay your DStv subscription only through official DStv payment channels, never to an installer.
- Do not share your DStv account password or one-time PINs with an installer.
- Keep your invoice so you can claim on the workmanship warranty if the signal fails.
