What is the DSTV Xtraview access fee? It’s something that a number of DSTV customers have been asking. Xtraview is great in that it allows you to connect multiple decoders on one account. If as an example, you have TVs in 3 different rooms in your house, you do not need to pay a subscription for each of these. It would be expensive to do so. With Xtraview, you pay one subscription amount, plus the Xtraview access fee for each additional decoder? But how much is that fee?
How much is the DSTV Xtraview access fee?
The DSTV Xtraview access fee is currently R115 per extra decoder per month. You will need to pay this on top of the monthly subscription amount for your chosen bouquet. The good news is that this access fee also includes PVR recording access. So you wont be paying an extra fee for that.
To give an example, the current DSTV Premium price is R879. Together with the Xtraview access fee, you will be paying R994 per month. That’s if you have two decoders connected together. If you have a third decoder linked as part of Xtraview, you will need to pay another R115. The total will then be R1109 per month.
Why go the Xtraview route?
DSTV used to produce dual view decoders. These enabled customers to have two viewing environments. Dual View has long since been discarded in favor of Xtraview. But what is Xtraview?
That’s something to which we have already alluded. Xtraview allows you to connect multiple decoders together on one subscription. You can have up to three decoders connected together, as an example.
This allows you to save a lot of money because you won’t need to pay multiple subscriptions. Most people out there have TVs in different rooms at the same house of at the same office.
Once you have connected Xtraview, you will pay your normal subscription, along with an access fee. It doesn’t matter what package you may be having in your home. All packages can access Xtraview.
It also means the other decoders will be on the same package. As an example, if the primary decoder is on DSTV Compact, then all the other decoders that are linked together will also be on Compact.
