Are you wondering how much it would cost to get a DStv decoder with installation? If you are in South Africa here are the DStv decoder prices and installation free for your home or business.

DStv offers several versions of decoders. These decoders are classified based on the features they come with: features such as picture quality, streaming, storage capabilities, and more.

Firstly, you need to decide on the type of decoder you need.

Secondly, you will have to choose a bouquet or package. Different bouquets offer a selection of channels as specified by DStv at the time. They are also priced according to the number of channels they have. So a bouquet with a lesser number of channels will come at a lower price.

What you are choosing is a DStv decoder and a bouquet with a selection of channels you would like to watch. So what kind of decoder would you like and which selection of channels do you prefer?

Once you choose a decoder, you can then pick any kind of bouquet or package to go with it. You are not tied to a specific kind of package. Simply choose a decoder and then find the package the matches your taste.

Here we will list the DStv Decoders and their prices. You can purchase your Dstv with or without installation services. Here are the DStv decoder prices with and without installation services.

If you need to choose a bouquet, follow the link to see all available bouquets and the channels list for each: DStv South Africa Channels.
