It is recommended that all XtraView installations be done by DStv accredited installers. The recommended installation for three decoders on XtraView is a DStv Smart LNB. If the customer disconnects the primary decoder, installation changes may be required. (i.e. a heartbeat cable will need to be installed between the 1st Secondary & 2nd Secondary decoders)
