['Extra View lets you run additional decoders on one subscription. The installation side needs the right switch, a dedicated cable run per decoder and matching signal levels, or one room will always be the weak link.', 'We install the additional decoders, run the cabling neatly, configure the switch and confirm that all decoders hold signal at the same time.']

What is included

  • Second and third decoder installation and cabling
  • Correct multiswitch installation and configuration
  • Extra View linking assistance
  • Hidden cable routing through roof spaces and trunking
  • All viewing points tested together, not one at a time
  • Wall plates for a clean finish


How Extra View is installed

Each decoder needs its own feed from the dish via a multiswitch. We install or upgrade the switch, run separate coax per decoder, terminate at wall plates and then test all decoders simultaneously under load.

Extra View link failures

If Extra View drops the link, it is usually a weak feed to the secondary decoder, an incorrect switch or a subscription-side link problem. We isolate which one it is before replacing anything.

Patios, bedrooms and flatlets

We regularly extend viewing to patios, bedrooms, cottages and flatlets, including outdoor-rated cabling and weather-protected connections.


Fault finding

Common problems and how we fix them


What usually goes wrong

  • Second decoder shows no signal while the main one works
  • Extra View link keeps dropping
  • Only one cable available for two decoders
  • Messy surface cabling to the second room


How we put it right

  • Dedicated feeds per decoder from a correctly sized switch
  • Signal balancing across all viewing points
  • New cable run or correct switch instead of splitters
  • Concealed routing and trunked cabling




FAQs

Extra View questions


Can you install Extra View?

Yes. We install and cable additional decoders and configure the switch so all decoders work together, then assist with the linking process.


How many decoders can I link?

The installation can support multiple decoders depending on your switch. We will advise what your current setup can handle.


Can a splitter be used instead?

No, splitters cause signal loss and link failures. A proper multiswitch with separate feeds is the correct way to do it.
