Can You Use Your Existing DSTV Dish?
Yes in most cases, your existing DSTV dish can be used for OpenView.
However, the dish may need to be:
Realigned to the correct satellite

A professional installer in Roodepoort can inspect your setup and advise if any upgrades are needed.
Why Roodepoort Residents Are Switching to OpenView
With inflation and household budgets tightening, many families in suburbs like Helderkruin, Honeydew, and Florida are switching to OpenView because:
Kids still get channels like eToonz and SABC
