LNB Repairs

A failed LNB kills your signal even when the dish looks fine. We test the LNB with a multimeter, replace it with a Hirschmann or Ellies unit, and re-peak the dish. Weak signal in bad weather usually points here first.

From call to complete

How Our Installation Process Works

Tell us the error code, the suburb and how many TVs you need. We give you a price range on the call and book a morning or afternoon window that suits you.

On arrival we walk the property, check the dish position for line of sight, and take a signal reading. If a tree or roof is blocking the satellite, we say so before drilling.

We mount the dish, run RG6, crimp the F-connectors and align with the signal meter. Decoders are connected, HDMI tested, and channels scanned so you can see it working.

We test every TV point, check signal strength in bad-weather conditions, and show you the remote setup. You get the invoice and our number for any follow-up.

Why Western Cape Homes Call HDTEK

We are a Western Cape Multichoice Accredited DStv Installers and Repair Technicians team, not a call centre that subcontracts. The person who answers the phone is the person who knows the job. Here is what that means in practice.

01
⌂

Accredited, Compliant Work

Our technicians are MultiChoice accredited installers and we fit SABS approved equipment to ICASA compliant standards. Where a new power point is needed we issue an electrical compliance certificate. That paperwork matters when you sell or rent the property.

02
◎

Same-Day and 24/7 Call-Outs

Signal loss does not wait for office hours. We run same-day slots across the metro and 24/7 emergency DStv Installation Western Cape call-outs for guesthouses and complexes. Most E48-32 and E143-0 faults are cleared in a single 60 to 90 minute visit.

03
$

Measured Alignment, Not Guesswork

Every dish is peaked with a satellite signal meter and set with a compass and inclinometer. That is why our installs hold through a Cape winter. We also carry an HDMI tester and multimeter so decoder and cable faults get diagnosed on site, not by trial and error.

Good questions

DStv Installation in Western Cape FAQs

The questions we get on the phone every week, answered straight. If yours is not here, call us on 066 443 8385 and we will tell you what the job involves.

A single-view DStv Installation in Western Cape starts around R1,150, a dual-view setup runs about R1,950, and a communal headend for a block starts near R6,500. Those 2026 prices include the dish, LNB, RG6 cable and signal meter alignment. Repairs like an LNB swap or E48-32 fix are usually quoted per job after we hear the fault.

Look for a MultiChoice accredited installer who carries a satellite signal meter and fits SABS approved, ICASA compliant equipment. HDTEK meets all three, and we work across the whole province, from Bloubergstrand to George. Ask any installer for their accreditation and whether alignment is measured or guessed. That answer tells you most of what you need.

Yes. We run same-day slots across the metro and 24/7 emergency DStv Installation Western Cape call-outs for guesthouses, complexes and anyone stuck without signal. Most E48-32 and E143-0 faults are cleared in a single 60 to 90 minute visit. Call 066 443 8385 and we will give you the next available window.

Check three things: MultiChoice accreditation, ICASA compliant installation, and whether they test with a signal meter rather than by eye. Ask what happens if the signal drops after the install, and get the call-out fee in writing before you book. A technician who carries a compass, inclinometer and HDMI tester will solve the fault properly the first time.

The dish, LNB, wall bracket, RG6 coaxial cable and F-connectors are included in our install price. The decoder is usually supplied by MultiChoice or bought separately, but we will connect and configure it, scan channels and test the HDMI output. If you already own an Explora or Pace decoder, we simply install around it.
