DStv ExtraView: One Subscription, One Happy Family

In many African homes, especially during weekends, the TV remote becomes a battleground.

Let’s picture this:

The father wants to catch his football match, the mother is smiling at her favorite Nigerian series, and the daughter is laughing at her cartoons. All these moments make up a happy family—but what happens when everyone wants to watch something different at the same time on one TV?

This is where DStv ExtraView comes in as a real lifesaver.

💡 So, What Exactly is ExtraView?

DStv ExtraView is an add-on feature that allows you to connect up to three decoders under one subscription, so different family members can enjoy different channels on different TVs—all at the same time, without paying for three full subscriptions.

Think of it as DStv giving you more screens, more freedom, and less spending.


How Much Does ExtraView Cost on QuickGrab?

On QuickGrab, our prices are clear and simple:

Package Price (FCFA)


DStv Confam (no ExtraView) 5,500 FCFA

DStv Confam + ExtraView 8,630 FCFA

Note: To view all packages with extra view here.

That means, for just 3,130 FCFA more, the whole household gets to enjoy their favorite shows at the same time. Instead of paying for three separate subscriptions (which could easily cost over 15,000 FCFA), you get one affordable subscription with shared access.


How Does It Work?

To enjoy ExtraView, you simply:

  1. Connect 2 or 3 DStv decoders in your home.
  2. Designate one decoder as the Primary.
  3. Link the other decoder(s) as secondary decoders.
  4. Ensure they communicate using a heartbeat cable or via a Smart LNB (which is used with your satellite dish).

Once connected, all the TVs can show different channels—football, series, cartoons—without fighting over the remote.


Important Notes

  • You can connect up to 3 decoders max: 1 primary + 2 secondary.
  • All decoders must be in the same location/home.
  • You must have decoders that support ExtraView, such as:
    • DStv Explora
    • DStv HD Decoder (Model 5S/6S)
  • You need either a Smart LNB or heartbeat cable between decoders (a DStv installer can set this up for you).

If you're using QuickGrab to manage your DStv payments, enabling ExtraView is just a few taps away. For just 3,130 FCFA extra, your family can move from TV conflict to TV comfort.
