Warnings
One of the biggest problems we encounter is inadequate dishes and low spec cable. Since the launch of the HD PVR in August 2008, we as DStv/MultiChoice accredited installers, refused to install these systems onto a satellite dish size smaller than 80cm. As a result we initially lost a large number of dstv hd pvr sales to opposition who were, and still are prepared to do these installations with 55cm dishes and low spec cable.
What really amazes us the most (and believe us when we assure you we've had numerous discussion with all the decision makers about this topic), is the amount of "DStv Installation Vouchers" sold by retail stores, at absurd prices, to unsuspecting customers. These are commonly referred to as DStv R599 special or DStv PVR promotions.
With due respect, the majority of the sales people employed to guide you into the purchase of these DStv promotions vouchers, cannot even pronounce signal attenuation properly, let alone explain how to reduce the effect.
Please allow us to explain a few things we thought you should know....
