A DSTV installer on standby in George for new dishes, decoder upgrades and signal faults, from Heatherpark and Blanco to Kraaibosch, Pacaltsdorp and the golf estates.
24 suburbs and estates in and around George
George sits right under the Outeniqua mountains, and that shapes most DSTV jobs here. Cloud builds up against the peaks, drizzle can last for days, and old gardens full of oaks and pines creep into the line between your dish and the satellite. We install new dishes, Smart LNBs and Explora Ultra decoders, and fix picture break-up in the older suburbs, the newer estates east of town and Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu to the south. A technician based in George takes the job, not someone driving in from the coast. Send a photo of your dish to 081 232 2249 on WhatsApp and tell us your suburb.

Every DSTV job we do, done the way George homes need it.
George gets noticeably more rain than Mossel Bay, and it falls across the year, often as soft drizzle from cloud that sits against the Outeniquas. Dense, wet cloud weakens the satellite signal. A dish aligned by eye, or one that has been knocked slightly, loses its picture in this weather long before a well-set dish does. That is why we align every install with a meter and record the reading.
Moisture is the other problem. Twist-on connectors and taped joints let water in, and the copper inside the cable turns black over a few winters. When we repair a George install we usually replace the outdoor connectors with sealed compression fittings and cut out any cable that has water in it.
Plots in the older suburbs are big and green, and pines, oaks and wild figs block more dishes here than anywhere else we work. The dish faces north-east, so trees on that side of the house matter most. On the estates east of town it is the opposite: few trees, but rules about where the dish can be seen from the street.
The calls we get most often here, and what the fix usually involves.
The most common call in George: the TV is fine on a clear day and pixelates once low cloud settles on the town. The dish is usually a few millimetres off target, so it has no margin left when the cloud thickens. We peak it with a meter, check the LNB, and fit a larger dish if the reading at your house is weak to start with.
Gardens in Heatherpark, Denneoord and Blanco have big trees planted decades ago. When a branch grows into the signal path the picture fades slowly over a season. We find a clear line north-east with the meter, move the dish to the chimney, the gable or a pole, and reroute the cable so it does not hang across the roof.
On Fancourt, Kingswood and Oubaai the estate decides where a dish may go, and owners often want the main TV and a second room on one subscription. We place the dish where the rules allow, fit a Smart LNB, set up the Ultra and the Extraview link, and leave the cabling out of sight.

The low cloud that sits on George is full of water, and that weakens the signal from the satellite. A dish that is slightly off target has no spare signal, so it drops out first. We realign the dish with a meter and check the LNB and connectors. If the reading at your house is weak even when aligned, a 90cm dish gives more margin.
