What to do when your DStv is not working
We understand that losing your DStv signal can be frustrating. So, you may ask – “What causes your decoder to lose signal?” There is no single answer to this question. Heavy storms frequently experienced in Amanzimtoti can move the satellite dish out of alignment. The storms are the major cause of signal loss.
To rule out alignment issues, you have to turn your satellite dish left and right. If your dish is moving freely then it can be a sign that your satellite dish needs an alignment.
Bad weather elements such as lightning can also destroy LNBs. The LNB is the eye on the dish. A broken LNB allows water to seep inside. If you do not solve the problem quickly, the water inside the LNB can short-circuit the decoder. In this case, you need to replace your LNB.
Rust is also common in coastal areas like Amanzimtoti due to the salty water in the ocean. Our DStv technicians in Amanzimtoti always recommend clients to install aluminium satellite dish kits which cannot be corroded by rust.
If you are experiencing DStv signal problems, try these checks first before calling an accredited DStv installer in Amanzimtoti:
Verify that you are experiencing a DStv signal error
A lot of people often confuse a “no signal” error that pops out on the TV as a result of selecting an incorrect TV source with DStv errors. All DStv errors codes start with the letter “E”. Here are a few examples:
- E48-32 – the decoder is not getting DStv signal from the satellite dish.
- E143 – there is no communication from the primary decoder to the secondary decoder.
- Use the self-service portal to clear all other DStv errors by dialing *120*68584#. Make sure you use the sim card number that was used to register DStv.
Make sure that you connect your HDMI and AV cables properly.

Check Flashing lights on the decoder
If you see the decoder flashing red, green, and yellow lights then your power cable might be faulty. Find a spare charger for the decoder and use it to test for power.
If the decoder is refusing to switch on and it shows a red light then take it to Multichoice for repairs.
Check for loose cable connections
Loose cable connections cause a lot of signal problems. Sometimes and kids and pets can pull cables. So, before you call us, connect all cables correctly on the right ports. Attach the signal cables to the LNB in port on the decoder.
F-type connectors can cause unforeseen signal problems if you attach them incorrectly. Here is a link to the post I wrote on how to make sure that your DStv cables are put correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it take to set up my DStv?
The amount of time it takes to complete a DStv set up varies according to the complexity of the job. In most cases, a set up such as a single view, dish alignment, dish replacement will take less than an hour. However, big jobs like triple view setup will take up to 2 hours.
New DStv decoders use a single unicable port at the back for a single cable system. Old DStv decoders had RF ports which meant more cables for extra view connections. In addition, new decoders have an inbuilt smart card unlike the old decoders which had removable smart cards. Moreover, new explora decoders have more storage space than old decoders.
Yes, you can plug your stand-alone or primary DStv decoder at another house that has a satellite dish connection. However, you cannot plug a secondary decoder because it requires a direct connection to a primary decoder.
Assuming you do not have a broken cable and your satellite dish is aligned correctly, you can check your satellite LNB by checking the change in the values of the signal strength and quality on your TV when you put your hand over the LNB. If the values change, then your LNB is working. However, if the values remain constant when you hover your hand then you can be having either a faulty LNB or a misaligned satellite dish. But, if you have the tools, the best way is to use a satellite finder machine to check whether the LNB is working or faulty.
