Eastwood is an older residential suburb east of Pretoria’s CBD, developed in the early-to-mid 20th century as the city expanded along its eastern rail and road corridors.
An established suburb close to the city centre
Eastwood’s mix of older brick homes on generous stands and newer infill development reflects its long settlement history, with the suburb’s proximity to central Pretoria and the Salvokop and Prinsloo Street areas making it a convenient, unglamorous, genuinely lived-in part of the city rather than a showpiece suburb.
DStv installation in Eastwood
Eastwood’s established homes get a standard single-view install — 60cm dish, Smart LNB, RG6 cabling — with mounting checked against each property’s roofline and any older structural quirks typical of the suburb’s age.
Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Eastwood follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern. On older homes, we check existing cabling and wall points before assuming a fault means new equipment is needed. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
