Where your DSTV signal gets lost

The picture on your TV travels 36,000km from the satellite, then the last few metres decide whether it works. These are the five places we check on every job.

Intelsat 20 decoder your TV 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5

  1. Dish alignment

    The southeaster can move a loose dish just enough to lose the signal. We align with a signal meter and brace it.

  2. The LNB

    The eye on the arm. Old LNBs fail with age and salt air, and Explora Ultra needs a Smart LNB.

  3. Connectors

    Water gets into unsealed connectors and the picture breaks up in rain. We fit sealed compression connectors.

  4. The cable run

    Sun-cracked or kinked cable weakens the signal. We use UV-stable RG6, clipped straight.

  5. Decoder and tuners

    We test every tuner, so recordings and Extraview work too, then check your channels.

Why customers choose Digitech

Most DSTV problems come back to a rushed install. We take the extra time on the roof so you don’t need us again for the same fault.

  • Meter-aligned, not eyeballed

    Every dish is pointed with a signal meter, so it holds its signal in wind and rain.

  • Every tuner tested

    We test each tuner on each decoder before we leave, so recordings and Extraview work too.

  • Built for wind and salt

    Galvanised brackets, sealed compression connectors and UV-stable cable on every coastal job.

  • Neat cabling

    Cable clipped straight outside and ducted or hidden inside, so the job looks finished.

  • One team for the house

    DSTV, cameras, gates, aircon and electrical. One number, one technician who knows your place.

  • Price agreed first

    Jobs start from R450. Send a photo on WhatsApp and you know the price before we book.

  • Every moment of dealing with this team, from the 1st phone call to them leaving my premises after a clean, successful and problem-free installation was professional, friendly and a winner. I had the incorrect problem diagnosis but they arrived with all the tools and replacements for and instance.

What it costs

No surprises: you get the price before we book, and before any work starts.

Jobs start from R450

A decoder swap on a working dish is a short job; a new dish, Smart LNB and cable run, or a full CCTV or gate install, is a bigger one. Tell us what you need and where you are.

Send a photo of the dish, the fault or the wall on WhatsApp and we’ll come back with a price, usually within working hours.

DSTV questions

The things people ask us most. For anything else, send us a WhatsApp.

How much does DSTV installation cost?

Jobs start from R450. The price depends on what you need: a decoder on a working dish, a new dish and Smart LNB, or extra TV points, plus roof height, cable distance and travel. Call or WhatsApp 081 232 2249 with a photo and we’ll give you a price. See DSTV installation.

What does E48-32 mean, and can you fix it?

E48-32 means your decoder isn’t receiving a signal from the dish. The usual causes are a dish moved by wind, a faulty LNB, or water in a cable or connector. We find the cause with a signal meter and usually fix it in one visit. More on our DSTV repairs page.

Which areas do you cover?

Cape Town and the northern and southern suburbs, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, Hermanus, Struisbaai and the West Coast from Langebaan and Vredenburg to Velddrif and Malmesbury. See all areas we cover.

Can you set up Extraview on my Explora Ultra?

Yes. Extraview links a second decoder to your account so both rooms get your full package. Both decoders must run off the same dish and Smart LNB. We fit the Smart LNB if needed, run the cable and link the decoders. See Extraview installation.

Is Digitech Projects the same company as Digitech Satellites?

Yes. Digitech Satellites is now Digitech Projects: same team, same number, more services. Call or WhatsApp us on 081 232 2249, the same number as before.

Tell us what’s wrong. We’ll tell you what it costs.

Call or WhatsApp with your area and the problem, or send a photo of the dish. You get a clear price before we start, and a technician who arrives with the parts.
