OpenView FAQs

What is OpenView?
A free-to-air satellite service with no monthly subscription. You buy the decoder and dish once, and then there is nothing to pay each month.
How many channels do you get?
Around twenty-odd TV channels plus radio. It is a smaller selection than DStv, and it does not carry the same live sport.
Can I use my old DStv dish?
Often yes, but OpenView uses a different satellite, so the dish needs realigning and usually a different LNB. We check on site rather than guessing.
Is OpenView a good option in St Helena Bay?
It suits a holiday house or a second TV well, because there is nothing to pay while nobody is there. Plenty of homes around St Helena Bay run OpenView alongside a DStv account.
Can I have both OpenView and DStv?
Yes, with either separate dishes or one dish set up for both. We will tell you which is practical at your house.
Do you install and activate it?
Yes, dish, decoder and activation. Call 079 754 5527 and we will sort it in one visit.
