Extra View is what you need when the family is at war over the remote — rugby in the lounge, cooking shows in the main bedroom, kids' channels in the kids' room. One subscription, multiple rooms, each with its own decoder and its own channel at the same time. The tricky part is the cabling, which in Gauteng's mix of double-storey face-brick homes, old thatch roofs, and poured-concrete Centurion flats rarely goes to plan without a proper plan.

We've done Extra View setups in everything from a two-bedroom Vorna Valley townhouse to a five-room double-storey in Waterkloof with the decoders daisy-chained through the roof void. The work itself is straightforward if you think it through first — which is why we walk the house with you before running a single cable. That five minutes of planning saves an hour of re-routing and keeps the chased channels short and tidy.
