DSTV Explora Ultra - A Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your New Decoder
If you are a DSTV viewer in South Africa, then you might have recently upgraded to the DSTV Explora Ultra, which is the latest decoder from Multichoice. The new decoder boasts of Ultra HD (4K) and HDR picture quality, built-in WiFi, and a more intuitive user interface, among other features. However, setting up a new decoder can be daunting, especially if you are not tech-savvy. In this guide, we take you through step-by-step on how to set up your new DSTV Explora Ultra and get the best out of it.
Step 1: Unboxing and Physical Setup
The first step in setting up your new DSTV Explora Ultra is unboxing and physically connecting the decoder. Start by checking whether all the components are intact. Inside the box, you should find the DSTV Explora Ultra decoder, a remote control, an HDMI cable, and a power supply adapter.
The next thing is to locate a place to put your decoder. Choose a location where the decoder will be safe, cool, and dry. Ensure that there is a stable internet connection or WiFi signal around the area as this is required for some of the new decoder's features to function optimally.
After finding the perfect spot, it's time to plug in your decoder. Connect the decoder to your TV using the HDMI cable provided. Ensure that the cable is connected to the HDMI out port of your decoder and the corresponding input port of your TV.
Next, connect your decoder to the power supply source using the adapter provided. It is advisable to plug your decoder directly into the wall socket instead of a surge protector or extension cable to avoid power fluctuations.
Step 2: Connect to the Internet
Connecting the DSTV Explora Ultra to the Internet unlocks a vast array of content and features. The new decoder comes with built-in WiFi connectivity, meaning that you can connect to your home WiFi network without having to use a LAN cable. Here's how to do it.
On your remote control, press the 'Home' button and select 'Settings.' From the settings menu, select 'System Settings' and then select 'Network Settings.' In the Network Settings menu, select 'Wireless Setup.'
The decoder will then search for available WiFi networks automatically. Select your home WiFi network from the list and enter your WiFi password when prompted. The decoder will then connect to your network. Once connected, you can access DSTV Catch Up, Showmax, and other streaming services.
Step 3: Activate Your Decoder
After completing physical setup and internet connectivity, the next step is to activate your decoder. This process is necessary to enable you to access DSTV channels and services. There are two ways to activate your decoder- online or by phone.
To activate your decoder online, visit the DSTV website or use the DSTV app and follow the prompts. You will need your South African ID number, DSTV smartcard number, and subscription details to complete the process.
Alternatively, you can activate your decoder by calling the DSTV customer support team on +27 11 289 2222. Keep your DSTV smartcard number and South African ID number close as you will be prompted to enter them during the call.
Step 4: DSTV Explora Ultra Troubleshooting
While the DSTV Explora Ultra is designed to function optimally, you may encounter issues from time to time. Some of the common issues and troubleshooting tips include:
- No Sound: Check that all cables are securely connected. Ensure that your decoder is connected to the 'HDMI In' or 'AV In' ports on your TV, and the volume is turned up.
- Remote Control Not Working: Ensure that you are pointing the remote control directly at the decoder, and it's within operating range. Also, check whether the batteries are correctly inserted, and they still have enough power.
- No Picture: Ensure that your TV is set to the correct channel (HDMI or AV). Check that all cables are correctly connected and that your decoder has sufficient signal strength.
