We specialize in both residential and commercial DStv systems.
Why Lynnwood Glen Homes Need Professional Installation
Lynnwood has many large trees, high walls, and double-storey houses. A small mistake in dish positioning means weak signal every time it rains. At Tech Installations, we don’t guess.
We use a professional digital satellite meter to lock onto the Intelsat 20 satellite at 68.5°E with maximum signal strength and quality. We check LNB skew, check for line-of-sight obstructions, and waterproof every outdoor connection to prevent future failure.
The result: No freezing, no missing channels during bad weather, and a tidy installation your complex will approve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Lynnwood Glen
1. How much does DStv installation cost in Lynnwood?
Cost depends on what you need. A standard single-view new installation with 80cm dish, Smart LNB, and 10m cable is from R850-R1250. ExtraView, complex installations, or long cable runs cost more. Repairs start from R450 including call-out. WhatsApp us your location for an exact quote.
2. How long does a DStv installation take?
A standard house takes 60-90 minutes. ExtraView or 3-room installation takes 2-3 hours. Complex or commercial jobs may take longer due to access.
3. Can you fix DStv that says “No Signal” in the rain?
Yes. If your signal drops only when it rains, your dish is slightly misaligned or you have a small 60cm dish. We realign to 100% and upgrade to 80cm dish where needed, which solves 90% of rain fade issues.
4. Do you work in complexes? What about permission?
Yes. Most Lynnwood complexes require prior permission for dish installation. We provide a neat, compliant installation and can issue a letter for the HOA. For communal systems, we liaise with the caretaker.
5. What is the best DStv dish size for Lynnwood?
We recommend 80cm, not 60cm. Lynnwood has many trees and tall buildings. An 80cm dish gives you stronger signal buffer during bad weather.
6. Can you connect my DStv to my Smart TV and Netflix?
Yes. We connect your decoder via HDMI, set up your Smart TV apps, and hide cables with trunking. We also mount your TV on the wall if needed.
7. My Explora says “LNB short” or “LNB overload” – can you fix it?
This is usually a short circuit in the cable or water in the LNB. Don’t ignore it – it can damage your decoder. Switch off decoder and call us. We replace the faulty cable/LNB.
8. Do you supply DStv decoders and dishes?
Yes. We supply genuine DStv-approved Explora Ultra, HD decoders, Smart LNBs, dishes, and brackets. You can also supply your own equipment and we charge for labour only.
9. Are you DStv accredited installers?
We are independent professional DStv installers with years of experience. We offer professional DStv installation services. For DStv account, subscription, and package changes, you contact DStv directly on 101 088.
10. Do you offer warranty?
Yes. 3 months warranty on our workmanship and 12 months on new equipment supplied by us (excluding lightning damage).
11. Can you install DStv in a flat or apartment without a balcony?
Yes. We specialize in flat roof pole mounts, wall clamps, and communal system connections for flats in Lynnwood.
12. What causes DStv to lose signal at night only?
This is often dew/moisture in the LNB or a failing LNB that loses sensitivity when cold. We test and replace it.
