Ridges blocking line of sight
The terrain itself can reduce or completely block signal from an otherwise well-aligned dish.
New DSTV Installation in Wilderness
Looking for a DSTV installer in Wilderness? 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 Wilderness problem: hills and ridges in the way
Homes on the south-facing slopes can have the hill itself, or neighbouring houses above, blocking the view to the satellite. Steep, high roofs also make DIY fixes dangerous, so dishes often stay badly placed for years.
Wilderness installations need a careful site survey because two homes on the same road can have very different views of the satellite. We compare safe mounting points at ground, wall and roof level, then balance clear line of sight with secure access and a protected cable route.
How we handle new dstv installation in Wilderness
- 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.

Align & test. We fine-tune the signal with a meter and confirm every channel comes through.

Hand over. Decoder set up and ready — we show you the basics before we go.
Common DSTV problems in Wilderness
Unsafe legacy roof positions
A previous dish may have been placed on a steep edge where servicing it safely is difficult.
Wind exposure above the coast
Extended brackets and elevated mounts need firm anchoring to prevent gradual movement.
- Check line of sight from several points on the property with a meter
- Use extended arms or pole mounts to clear the ridge
- Work safely on steep and high roofs with the right equipment
- Fine-tune alignment and test before we leave
We cover Wilderness village, Wilderness Heights, Kleinkrantz, Hoekwil, Touwsranten and surrounds.
