Moisture entering cable joints
An unsealed join can draw water into the coax and cause a fault beyond the visible connector.
DSTV Installations & Repairs in Great Brak River
Great Brak River's estuary and lush greenery mean a lot of moisture in the air. Over time that moisture finds its way into DSTV cables and connectors.
The Great Brak problem: moisture in the cabling
Damp air and rain seep into unsealed connectors and cracked cable. Water inside the cable weakens the signal gradually, causing pixelated pictures, missing channels and errors that come and go with the weather.
How our technicians fix it
- Trace the cable run and find where water is getting in
- Replace damaged cable with quality outdoor-rated coax
- Fit weather-sealed connectors and protective boots
- Test signal at the decoder end to confirm the fix
