Paarl sits in a valley with hot, dry summers. Cheap cable sheathing that is not UV-stable cracks after a few summers and then lets in water when the winter rain arrives. Plastic LNB covers and cable ties go the same way. We use UV-stable RG6 and weatherproof compression F-connectors on every install. Afternoon pixelation in summer is often heat working on a tired connector.
Boschenmeer, Val de Vie and Pearl Valley are managed estates, and most managed estates control contractor access at the gate. Tell us your estate name and gate procedure when you book so we are on the access list. Large estate homes often want Extraview, with a second decoder in a different wing, and that means a longer cable run that we route and test carefully.
Around Wellington, Bovlei, Klapmuts and Simondium, farmhouses, cottages and staff housing can be far apart. Each building usually needs its own dish and decoder rather than one long cable. The Wellington valley is ringed by mountains, so houses tucked against the slopes can have a limited view of the sky, and we check the line of sight before we commit to a position.
