Rain-related picture break-up
Heavy cloud exposes dishes with low signal margin, causing pixelation or an E48-32 message.
New DSTV Installation in George
Looking for a DSTV installer in George? Moving into a new home, building a granny flat or kitting out a guesthouse? We install your DSTV dish, LNB, cabling and decoder from scratch — mounted solidly, aligned precisely and tested before we leave.
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.
How we handle new dstv installation in George
- 1
Site check. We find the best mounting spot for a clear line of sight to the satellite — away from trees and roof obstacles.
- 2
Mount & cable. Dish goes up on a sturdy bracket and cable is routed neatly to your TV point.
- 3
Align & test. We fine-tune the signal with a meter and confirm every channel comes through.
- 4
Hand over. Decoder set up and ready — we show you the basics before we go.
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.
