Unknown cables in multi-unit buildings
Unlabelled runs make it difficult to see which dish, switch or unit is affected.
Dish Alignment in Hartenbos
Looking for a DSTV installer in Hartenbos? 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 Hartenbos problem: shared dishes and tangled cabling
In complexes, one dish often feeds several units through old splitters and long cable runs. When one unit adds a decoder or someone moves a cable, other units lose channels — and nobody knows which wire goes where.
In Hartenbos complexes and holiday units, we first identify whether the fault belongs to one decoder, one unit or the shared distribution system. This avoids changing equipment inside a flat when the real issue is an upstream switch, shared dish or unidentified cable run.
How we handle dish alignment in Hartenbos
- 1
Inspect. We check the dish, bracket, LNB arm and bolts for damage or rust.
- 2
Meter align. Using a signal meter, we peak the dish for maximum signal quality — not just 'good enough'.
- 3
Secure. Bolts are tightened and brackets reinforced where needed.
- 4
Test. We confirm strong, stable signal on your decoder before leaving.
