ALL DSTV DECODERS – DSD 990 MODEL
DSTV DECODER MODEL – DSD 1110
This is where MultiChoice DStv upgraded the security of their smartcard technology. In this DStv decoder model 1110, a new smartcard security feature came to light. It is the “Silicon protection technology”. By this innovation, it was no longer possible to exchange or change smartcards from one decoder to another. Furthermore, every decoder model henceforth marries a particular smartcard thus, making smartcard stealing useless. The DStv decoder model DSD 1110 appeared sleeker in size, with more robust features such as
- AV Output
- RF/Coaxial Output display technologies
- More importantly, the DStv Extra-View (Xtraview) became possible with the coming of the DSD 1110.
Surprisingly, the DStv decoder model DSD 1110 is still in use till date. DStv decoder model DSD 1110 enjoys automatic DStv software upgrade technology, which is why it is still in use till date.
DSTV DECODER MODEL – SD PVR (DUAL VIEW)
ALL DSTV DECODER MODEL – DSD 1131
The need for compact size decoders started with the DSD 1131 decoder model. It is ExtraView (Xtraview) compatible and features the AV Output and the RF/Coaxial Output signal display technologies. The smartcard enjoys silicon protection security which ensures a particular smartcard to a particular decoder. Any wrong placement or replacement of smartcard in this decoder model or any other more recent DStv decoder model would result to DStv Smartcard Error Codes. DStv decoder model DSD 1131 is equipped with automatic DStv software upgrade technology, making it fully in use till today. However, aside its ExtraView compatibility, the DStv DSD 1131 is also perfect for all complex TV extension services, which means connecting multiple TVs to one decoder.
DSTV DECODER MODEL – DSD 1132
All features as present in DStv decoder model DSD 1132 are present in the DSD 1132. The only marked difference lies in the color which is black, and sharp edges that appear cubed-like. The remote controls for DSD 1110, 1131, 1132 and even DSD 990 are one and the same. Their remote controllers control one another, even the GOtv decoder is controlled by these remote controls.
DSTV DECODER MODEL – HD PVR
High Definition display technology in satellite TV systems changed the whole perception about the future of TV entertainment. The High Definition Personal Video Recorder HD PVR decoder came in three different models – 1-Tuner HD PVR, 2-Tuner HD PVR and the latest more compact full HD PVR (3-Tuner). With the DStv HD PVR, one can record, rewind, fast-forward, store, download movies to watch. Newer features like the Video-On-Demand, personalization of functions, ExtraView and TV extension, HDMI output display, Ethernet for Internet connectivity etc are some of the features you find on the DStv HD PVR.
DSTV DECODERS – EXPLORA MODEL
All the features of the DStv HD PVR are advanced in the DStv Explora. With additional features like the Box Office, Video-On-Demand, Explora internet connectivity, bigger storage capability, digital surround sound, etc, the new DStv Explora stands out as the best HD PVR decoder ever produced by MultiChoice DStv. The Explora software user interface is robustly built such that it is programmed for subscriber personification.
ALL DSTV DECODERS – HD SINGLE VIEW ZAPPA MODEL
The first ever High Definition HD single view non-PVR decoder. Its software interface is every inch similar to the Explora decoder’s user interface. One striking feature of the HD ZAPPA is the absence of the RF-OUT / RF-IN ports. Here, the HDMI port is markedly pronounced as well as its AV Output features. This HD Zappa decoder is the latest decoder from the stable of MultiChoice DStv and it can be used in an ExtraView as well as TV extension services, by using an AV – RF/Coaxial Converter.
The Zappa HD is amazingly enjoying an internal smartcard non-removable technological features which ensures permanent positioning of the married smartcard.
NEW DSTV EXPLORA ULTRA
Launched in the year 2020, this new decoder has featured new capabilities as well as enhanced features on the regular Explora decoder. Equipped with new streaming Apps for internet live streaming, 4K, HDR and Dolby Atmos properties, you can be sure this is the real deal. Although the Explora Ultra has no RF ports, its connectivity flows from the HDMI and R-Cart as well as Ethernet ports. Lest I forgot, this impressive new decoder has a built-in WiFi for both capped and uncapped internet connectivity. It also uses its Ethernet for both forms of internet connections.

I am using the PVR HD… and I got it in ladybrand 10 yrs back, can I return it…? I am from Lesotho
How do i migrate to digital from analogue TV using Multichoice DSD 990 decoder?
The DSD 990 may still work to the extent where it’s features are still supported. To this end, it may only give you the channels to view…but other interactive features such as channels list update and software upgrade etc may not work.
If the decoder DSD 990 is no regarded as “in extinction”, does this mean it won’t work if I connect it to my dish?
Thank you.
