Hi I will need to get DSTV connected to our house. Who does one deal with in Tamarin? And where to purchase a DSTV decoder? Does one then also need the satellite dish? Do televisions in homes automatically pick up the local island channels? I gather the news channels are all in French? What are ( if any ) , the English options of keeping up to date with local island news? Thank you

Tash before you buy a decoder and pay monthly subscriptions for Mauritian TV, you can watch them online on several apps first to help you decide

[Keep in mind that Netflix, Amazon Prime, Britbox etc all work on a Smart TV with just a fibre internet connection (no TV Aerial or Satellite Dish required).
Even without a Smart tv one can make use of an Android TV box, Google Chromecast, or play through a laptop to the TV’s HDMI port.]

(most of these apps work fine once you are in Mauritius but require a VPN to work overseas)
