DStv no signal, E48-32 and picture breakup
A no-signal message or a picture that keeps breaking up needs a check of the dish, LNB, cable and connections. Tell us which decoder you use, the exact message on the screen and whether the problem affects every connected TV.
What a signal repair visit covers
- Checking dish alignment and the dish mount.
- Testing the LNB, cable and connectors for faults.
- Checking the signal at the decoder.
- Quoting for any parts or additional work before proceeding.
Depending on the fault, the solution may be dish alignment, LNB replacement or a cable repair. For other equipment faults, see our DStv repair service.
Before you book
Check that the decoder has power and that the TV is on the correct input. Note whether the problem started during bad weather or after equipment was moved. Avoid climbing onto a roof or adjusting a dish yourself.
