SAFE HOMESDStv Dish Relocation in Cape Town
Moving house, re-roofing or building an extension often means the dish has to move. A relocated dish needs a clear view of the satellite, a secure mount, a sensible cable route and fresh alignment, so every decoder works afterwards.
From R450

How a relocation works
The right position depends on your property. We assess it before any work starts.
- Check line of sight to the satellite from the new position
- Choose a wall, pole or roof mount suited to your property and Cape Town's wind
- Run or reuse cabling and weatherproof the connections
- Align the dish and check the signal on every decoder
- Confirm ExtraView and additional TV points still work
Details that speed up your quote
Send these on WhatsApp and we can usually tell you what to expect.
- Your decoder models and how many TV points you use
- Whether you are moving house or relocating within the property
- Photos of the current dish, mount and cable route
- Your suburb and the type of roof or wall
- Any obstructions at the new position, such as trees or buildings
Can I move the dish myself?
We do not recommend it. A dish moved without proper alignment loses signal, and working at height is dangerous.
Can my existing dish be reused?
Often yes. Its condition, size, LNB and cabling are checked first, and anything worn is replaced.
How much does relocation cost?
Relocation starts from R450. The final price depends on the distance, mounting and cabling involved.
Do you relocate OpenView dishes too?
Yes. See our OpenView installation and dish alignment pages for details.
