Signal Problems After Rain or Wind

It’s a classic Cape Town story. Your DStv is working fine, then the South Easter howls or a storm rolls in, and your signal is gone.

This usually means your dish has been knocked slightly out of alignment. Even a tiny shift is enough to lose the connection, especially in bad weather.

Our technicians use professional meters to realign your dish with millimetre precision and secure it tightly to withstand the Cape’s weather. We also check for weather damage to cables or the LNB.

Don’t let the weather decide when you watch TV. We offer same-day service for storm-related signal loss.
