Why DStv loses signal in Silverton — 6 causes we see on jobs
- Tree growth — industrial dust/soot, no trees leaf Oct-Feb blocks IS20, especially low dishes 2-3m
- Wind 60km/h Highveld — light 60cm dish moves 2-3° off, rawl bolts pull from soft brick/plaster
- White cable UV cracked — white single-shield from 90s/2000s cracked, water in braid, E48-32 when wet
- Dead / cheap LNB — dust in Silverton industrial IBR flat 4m corrodes cap, rain shorts
- DIY joins + splitters — tape join in roof void 30dBuV loss, illegal splitter halves signal
- IBR / flat roof bad sealing — in Rosslyn/Silverton/Waltloo or Silverton flat low, no bonded washers, leaks + rust
What does E48-32 mean in Silverton?
No signal from LNB. In Silverton it is usually: dish moved 2° by wind/vibration, tree leaf block, white cable cracked + water, or dead LNB after storm. Try: unplug Explora 1 min. If stays, need Promax on roof — we test MER, not guess. 073 442 7665.
Wi-Fi streaming vs satellite in Silverton
Fibre does not replace satellite for Explora recording. Explora Ultra needs IS20 68.5E for DStv + Wi-Fi for Showmax/Netflix. In Silverton many think fibre-only estate means no dish — we do charcoal hidden dishes for Heatherview etc HOA approved.

Wall type: Silverton has face-brick 1950s + plaster + IBR. Bracket type: fixed for 55-65 flat, full-motion for 75-85 if corner. Height: eye level 1100-1200mm centre.
