Local technicians in George, Mossel Bay, Knysna and Plett, on standby for installs, repairs and signal faults from Hartenbos to Nature's Valley.
25 suburbs and estates in and around Garden Route
Digitech Projects installs and repairs DSTV along the Garden Route, from Mossel Bay and Hartenbos through George, Wilderness and Sedgefield to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, and over the Outeniqua Pass to Oudtshoorn. George and Mossel Bay have their own pages: DSTV installation in George and DSTV installation in Mossel Bay. The other towns each have a section further down this page.
Forest, rain and holiday homes shape the work here. Tall trees block the line to the satellite, damp gets into connectors that are not sealed, and many houses stand empty for months between visits. Call or WhatsApp 081 232 2249 with your town and a photo of the dish.
We have technicians on standby in and around the Garden Route. Book the job and we send the one nearest to you.
Every DSTV job we do, done the way Garden Route homes need it.
The Garden Route gets rain in every season, not only in winter like Cape Town. Heavy cloud weakens the satellite signal, so a dish that is only just on target drops out first. Water also finds its way into old twist-on connectors and cable joints. We align every dish with a meter, use sealed compression connectors and fit a larger dish where the signal needs the margin.
Trees are the other problem. Gardens in Knysna, Wilderness, Sedgefield and parts of George are full of tall trees, and the dish needs a clear view to the north-east. On the coast at Mossel Bay, Brenton and Keurboomstrand, salt and wind are the issue, so we use galvanised or stainless brackets there. Over the mountain in Oudtshoorn it is heat and sun, and cheap cable cracks within a few summers.
The calls we get most often here, and what the fix usually involves.
A milkwood or a pine that was small when the dish went up can block the signal ten years later. We find a clear line to the satellite with a meter, move the dish to a new bracket on the wall or a pole, and run the cable back neatly.
If the picture breaks up every time it rains, the dish is usually slightly off target or the connectors have let in water. We realign the dish with a meter, replace the connectors with sealed compression fittings and check the LNB.
Before December or Easter we check the dish, the bracket, the cables and the decoder at houses that have stood empty, update the decoder and test every channel, so the TV works when the family arrives.

These are the Garden Route towns we cover, with the suburbs and estates around them. If your place is not listed, call and ask.
The four biggest towns on this stretch of coast each have their own page. In George the work is mostly about mountain cloud, drizzle and old trees: see DSTV installation in George for Blanco, Pacaltsdorp, Fancourt and Herold's Bay. In Mossel Bay it is salt and wind on sea-facing roofs: see DSTV installation in Mossel Bay for Dana Bay, Pinnacle Point and Klein Brak River.
Knysna is forest, steep plots and damp lagoon air: see DSTV installation in Knysna for Leisure Isle, Thesen Islands, Pezula and Brenton-on-Sea. Plett is mostly holiday homes that need to work the day the family arrives: see DSTV installation in Plettenberg Bay for Keurboomstrand, The Crags and Nature's Valley.
Hartenbos is a holiday and retirement town just east of Mossel Bay, with a large resort and many houses that are full in December and quiet for the rest of the year. Great Brak River sits at the river mouth further east, with Glentana between it and Herold's Bay.
Retirement homes and complexes here often want a simple setup that works without fuss, so we fit the decoder, label the remotes and show you how to clear an error code yourself before we leave.
Wilderness sits between the lagoon, the sea and forested hills, and Sedgefield is a village of lakes and lagoons further east. Both have plenty of holiday houses and guesthouses, and both are full of trees.
On the slopes at Wilderness Heights and Hoekwil a dish often has to go on a pole or an outbuilding to see past the trees. In Sedgefield, close to the sea at Myoli Beach, we use stainless hardware and check the roof for salt damage before we fix anything to it.
Oudtshoorn is over the Outeniqua Pass in the Klein Karoo, with De Rust further east. The climate is the opposite of the coast: dry, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Salt is not a problem, but sun is.
We use UV-stable cable and protect it where it runs over a hot roof. Farmhouses and guest farms around the town often have the dish on an outbuilding and a long cable run to the house, so we use proper RG6 and support it along the way.

Heavy cloud weakens the signal, and a dish that is slightly off target is the first to drop out. Water in an old connector makes it worse. We realign the dish with a meter, replace the connectors with sealed ones, and fit a larger dish if the signal at your house needs it.
Yes. Book a visit before the season and we check the dish, the bracket, the cables and the decoder, update the decoder and test every channel. We can arrange access with a neighbour, an agent or the estate if you are not there.
