How to Upgrade Your DStv for HD or UHD Viewing

Assessing Your Current Setup

Before upgrading, thoroughly assess your current DStv setup. Check the compatibility of your decoder — older models may not support HD or UHD content. Upgrading to a DStv Explora could be a wise choice.

Your TV needs to display HD or UHD content. Your satellite dish and LNB need to be in good condition. And evaluate your internet connection — streaming HD or UHD requires a stable, fast connection.

Choosing Between HD and UHD

HD provides a clear, sharp picture. UHD offers a more immersive, lifelike image with four times the detail. Consider your viewing preferences, budget, TV capabilities, and internet speed when deciding.

Purchasing Necessary Equipment

DStv Explora Ultra decoder: Access streaming apps, PVR, BoxOffice, and Catch Up.

Internet connection: Built-in WiFi or ethernet cable for connectivity.

DStv A9 Remote Control: Full control of the Explora Ultra with quick access to streaming apps.

DStv offers Device Insurance for R39/month to protect your investment.

Step-by-Step Upgrade Process

Open the DStv app, tap ‘Change Package’, select your preferred package, follow the guided steps, and confirm the change. It’s that simple.
