UV-damaged outdoor cable

DSTV Installations & Repairs in Oudtshoorn
Oudtshoorn and the Klein Karoo bake in summer heat, and many homes are farms far from town. Both take a toll on DSTV equipment.
The Oudtshoorn problem: harsh sun and heat damage
Intense sun and big temperature swings crack cable jackets and wear out LNBs faster. The signal becomes unreliable — often fine in the morning and failing in the hot afternoon — and farms far from town wait longest for help.
How our technicians fix it
- Replace tired or faulty LNBs with quality units
- Use UV-resistant outdoor cable and clip it away from hot surfaces
- Check mounts for heat-related movement and re-align
- Travel out to farms and smallholdings around Oudtshoorn
