| How To Connect The DStv Zappa Decoders For Extra Views |
As we all know, one of the apparent downsides of the new DStv HD decoder is simply the removal of the Radio Frequency (RF) in for the extra view. I am so happy and glad to inform you that there is now a free workaround for this ( have in mind that the initial investment is huge ).
But luckily, this tweak is on the other hand permanent. So without wasting much time, the New DStv decoder extra view configuration is easy to do, trust me. Just kindly follow the instructions provided below. However, before this, let me quickly run a recap of what DStv extra view means. The DStv extra view is a service designed to enable you to use one subscription on at least two DStv decoder. A good example, if you have a Dstv premium sub and you want to enjoy it both in your room and in the living room, the extra view is just the best and easy way to go.

DeleteIs extra-view subscription one-off or continuous?
