['Upgrading your decoder often needs more than plugging it in. Explora and Explora Ultra need the correct switch configuration, a healthy signal level and the right cabling to work properly with recording and multi-room features.', 'We handle the full upgrade: new decoder installation, configuration, linking to your existing viewing setup and testing on every TV in the house.']

What is included

  • Explora and Explora Ultra installation and setup
  • Multi-room and second decoder configuration
  • Switch, cabling and wall plate upgrades where needed
  • Streaming device setup and network advice
  • Old equipment removed and disposed of neatly
  • Everything tested and demonstrated before we leave


Explora installation

An Explora needs a strong, clean signal on both tuners to record while you watch. We verify both inputs, correct the switch configuration and set up recordings, catch-up and connectivity.

Adding rooms

Adding a bedroom or patio TV usually means a new cable run, a wall plate and a switch upgrade. We plan the route first so cabling stays hidden and tidy.

Satellite plus streaming

If your internet is solid, a hybrid setup gives you satellite reliability plus streaming convenience. We set both up and show you how to switch between them.
