Moisture entering cable joints
An unsealed join can draw water into the coax and cause a fault beyond the visible connector.
Dish Alignment in Great Brak River
Looking for a DSTV installer in Great Brak River? A dish only needs to move a few millimetres to lose signal. After a Garden Route berg wind or winter storm, we re-align your dish with a proper signal meter and secure it so it stays put.
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.
Around Great Brak River, a reliable repair often means following the complete outdoor cable rather than changing the easiest visible fitting. We inspect joins, low points where water can collect, cracked cable jackets and the entry into the building before testing at the decoder.
