Rain-related picture break-up
Heavy cloud exposes dishes with low signal margin, causing pixelation or an E48-32 message.

The George problem: rain fade and signal drop-outs
Thick cloud and heavy rain coming off the mountains weaken the satellite signal. A dish that is even slightly off-target has no margin left, so the picture freezes or shows E48-32 'no signal' every time it pours.
George properties range from established homes with older coaxial cable to newer estates where neat concealed runs matter. We check the full path from dish to decoder, because replacing a decoder will not solve a weak signal caused by moisture, a loose fitting or an ageing cable behind the wall.

Common DSTV problems in George
Water inside outdoor connectors
Repeated wet weather can reach poorly sealed joints and gradually weaken the signal.
Older cabling in established suburbs
Cracked or joined cable can create intermittent faults that look like a decoder problem.
- Meter-align the dish for maximum signal strength and quality, not just 'good enough' on a sunny day
- Upgrade to a correctly sized dish where signal margin is too thin
- Replace water-damaged cable and seal every connector against moisture
- Test the full channel line-up before we leave
We cover Blanco, Heather Park, Denneoord, Loerie Park, Pacaltsdorp, Kraaibosch and surrounds.
