UV-damaged outdoor cable
Long exposure to Klein Karoo sun can make the cable jacket brittle and prone to cracking.
New DSTV Installation in Oudtshoorn
Looking for a DSTV installer in Oudtshoorn? 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 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.
Oudtshoorn and farm installations benefit from durable outdoor materials and a complete first inspection. We check LNB performance, sun-exposed cable, long cable runs and mounting stability together, helping identify more than one age-related weakness during the visit.
