“No signal” right before the rugby is no fun. We track down the real cause — a knocked dish, water in a connector, a failed LNB, a corroded cable or a dying decoder — and fix it on the spot wherever we can. No guessing, no swapping parts at random and hoping; we meter the system and find the actual fault.
On this coast, most faults come down to weather and time. Salt corrodes connectors and the braiding inside coaxial cable; the wind nudges dishes a degree or two off the satellite; cheap brackets rust and loosen. We don't just patch it — we re-seal, re-align and replace the worn parts so it stays fixed through the next big blow.
Common ones we see around Gansbaai: error codes like E48-32 that come and go, a picture that pixelates the moment cloud rolls in, a dish that looks slightly tilted after a storm, or a total blackout after a power surge. Each has a clear cause and a proper fix, and we'll tell you straight what's worth repairing and what's better replaced.
Most repairs are same or next day. For signal emergencies before a big match, message us on WhatsApp and we'll do our best to squeeze you in. Every repair finishes with a signal-strength report so you can see the system is genuinely sorted, not just limping along until the next front comes through.
If your setup was a budget job that was never sealed properly to begin with, we'll show you where it's failing and what it takes to make it weather-tight for the long haul — usually far cheaper than a full re-install after it dies mid-storm.
We carry the common failure parts — LNBs, connectors, sealed cable and weatherproofing — on the van, so most repairs are finished in the one visit rather than dragging on while a part is ordered. And we'll always tell you straight whether a quick fix will hold or whether the underlying install needs proper attention, so you're not paying twice for the same fault when the next front rolls through off the bay.
Anyone seeing error codes, freezing or pixelating channels, or a total signal loss after wind, rain or a storm.
