Dish, decoder and Extra View installations done properly
Getting DStv running in Melrose is seldom as simple as pointing a dish north. Apartment buildings around Melrose Arch often use communal systems, while freestanding homes in Melrose North and Birdhaven need a dish sited for clear signal and neat cable routes. Our accredited installers plan each job before drilling anything, confirming the best mounting point, the shortest cable path and the setup your decoder actually requires.
We install and activate Explora and HD decoders, configure Extra View so two or three rooms can watch different channels, and align every dish for maximum signal strength before we leave. The price is fixed before work begins, the workmanship is guaranteed in writing, and the finish is tidy enough for the strictest body corporate. It is the way more than 150 five-star reviewers say an installation should be done.
The local picture
What we see most in Melrose
Apartment and precinct installations
In the Melrose Arch precinct and nearby blocks, new decoders usually connect to an existing communal dish rather than a new one on the balcony. We liaise with building management where needed, run cabling discreetly through trunking, and leave no mess in the passages. If your building has no communal feed, we will advise on the compliant alternatives.
Extra View for the whole household
One subscription can feed the lounge, the main bedroom and the study. We link decoders with the correct smart LNB and cabling so each room watches its own channel, then walk you through recording and remote setup. For larger Dunkeld and Atholl homes we plan the wiring so future rooms can be added without redoing the work.
Alignment, activation and proof of signal
A dish that is a few millimetres off will pixelate the moment clouds roll in. We align with a signal meter rather than by eye, activate your decoder with MultiChoice while still on-site, and show you the signal-strength readings before packing up. If anything drifts within the guarantee period, we come back and correct it.

Questions from Melrose
What customers in Melrose ask us most.
Still not sure?
Send a photo of your dish, decoder or TV on WhatsApp. We can often tell you what's wrong before we get in the van.
WhatsApp a photoDo I need my own dish if my building already has one?
Usually not. Most managed buildings around Melrose Arch and Illovo have a communal dish, and we simply connect your decoder to the existing feed with the correct switching hardware. Where a building has no shared system, we will recommend a mounting position that satisfies both signal and building rules.
How long does a DStv installation in Melrose take?
A straightforward single-decoder connection is normally finished within a couple of hours. A new dish with Extra View across several rooms takes longer because of the extra cabling, but nearly every Melrose installation is completed in a single visit, booked for the same day whenever possible.
Can you set up Extra View during the installation?
Yes, and it is far easier to do during the initial install than afterwards. Tell us how many viewing points you want when you book, and we will arrive with the right LNB, cabling and connectors to link every decoder in one visit.
Are your installers accredited?
They are. Falcon TV Repairs is an accredited installation company, which means correct hardware, compliant workmanship and installations that pass inspection. You also receive a fixed quote before we start and a written guarantee when we finish, backed by over 150 five-star Google reviews.
