Brixton is one of Johannesburg’s oldest suburbs, its skyline marked by the Sentech Brixton Tower — long a familiar landmark on the city’s northern ridge.
A historic suburb beneath a landmark tower
Brixton’s older homes and steep, characterful streets reflect its early development on the ridge overlooking central Johannesburg, with the tower itself a genuine point of local identity for a suburb that predates much of the surrounding city.
DStv installation in Brixton
Brixton’s older homes get a standard single-view install — 60cm dish, Smart LNB, RG6 cabling — with mounting checked against each property’s roofline given the suburb’s older housing stock and sloped streets.
Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Brixton follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern. On the suburb’s older homes we check existing cabling before assuming a fault requires new equipment. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
