Why Choose Tech Installations in Horizon View? – Local Ridge Issues
Horizon View is upmarket West Rand suburb on ridge with panoramic views and strong Highveld wind exposure. That ridge looks great but it hammers DSTV signal. We see 1980s-90s homes with original old white RG6 single-shield cable baked in roof for 30+ years, causing E48-32 searching for signal and pixelation on Explora. Large stands have long cable runs to outside flatlets and cottages – cheap cable loses 10-12dB over distance. Light 60cm dishes from early installs vibrate and move in wind, dropping MER to 8-9 dB. Complexes along Van Der Kloof and Taurus Road share communal dishes – one corroded F-connector kills 6 units and body corporate blames tenants.
- Ridge wind fix: we replace light 60cm with heavy-duty 80cm 1.2mm SABS dish, anti-theft pole bracket, tamper bolts, wind-braced stays – measured to hold MER 14.2 dB even in gusts.
- Old white RG6 removal: we pull out cracked white RG6, re-pull black twin-shield SABS low-loss through existing conduits, compression F-connectors, LNB sealed with silicone boot.
- Large stands & long runs: balanced for flatlet feeds – correct F-type backbone, no illegal joiners under tiles, signal tested at house and at flatlet with Promax.
- Complexes: we trace per-unit communal systems – filtered Smart LNB SCD2 for 24 users, level-balanced multiswitch, labelled for caretaker, photos for trustee.
- Same-day Horizon View: stock Smart LNB, 80cm dish, SABS cable, explora – no return visit, warranty receipt with MER/C/N screenshot.

Frequently Asked Questions About DSTV in Horizon View
How much does DSTV installation cost in Horizon View?
Price in Horizon View depends on equipment, cable length (large stands to flatlets need extra), viewing points and whether old white RG6 from 80s/90s must be replaced. Standard labour from R599 when SABS 80cm dish is reusable. New full install: 80cm heavy-duty dish + Smart LNB SCD2 + 20-30m SABS twin-shield + decoder setup – we inspect first, measure route to flatlet if needed, then give fixed quote before work. No call-out fee hidden. Call 073 442 7665 for Horizon View quote. DStv packages see dstv.com.
Can you fix DSTV no signal / E48-32 in Horizon View today? Wind keeps moving dish.
Yes, we fix E48-32, searching for signal, and no signal same-day in Horizon View where possible. Ridge wind is #1 cause here – light 60cm dish moves 5-10 degrees in Highveld gusts. Also old white RG6 corroded, faulty Smart LNB from lightning. We test at dish and at decoder with Promax meter, check MER (target 14.2 dB), replace faulty part only, wind-brace new 80cm 1.2mm dish, seal LNB. Warranty included.
Do you replace old white RG6 cable in 1980s-90s Horizon View homes?
Yes – most Horizon View houses built 1980s-90s still have white RG6 single-shield that cracks in roof heat, loses signal in rain. Causes pixelation on Explora. We remove old cable, pull new black SABS-approved twin-shield low-loss through existing conduits (no chasing), fit compression F-connectors, seal with silicone boot, show old vs new, test MER at decoder. Essential for long runs to outside cottages.
My dish moves in Highveld wind – do you supply heavy-duty 80cm and wind-braced mounts?
Absolutely. Horizon View ridge exposure 60-90km/h winds move light 60cm dishes. We install SABS 80cm 1.2mm thick dish, 38mm galvanised pole with anti-theft bracket, tamper-proof bolts, stays/bracing on slab roofs, cable run inside downpipe/conduit secured. Measured MER 14.2 dB locked after install. No visible cables on face-brick, neat brush plate inside. Same-day wind fix available.
Do you service complexes along Van Der Kloof and Taurus Road with communal dishes?
Yes. Many Horizon View/Horison complexes along Van Der Kloof and Taurus Road have communal dishes installed 2008-2014. One corroded F-connector or faulty Smart LNB kills 4-8 units. Body corporate blames tenants. We carry approved Promax meter, trace per unit to multiswitch, replace with filtered Smart LNB SCD2 for 24 users, balance signal levels, replace power supply if needed, label distribution for caretaker, provide photos and MER/C/N readings for trustee. Same-day fix for complexes in Horizon View.
Can you run extra points to flatlets on large stands without signal loss?
Yes – Horizon View large stands often have outside flatlet/cottage 30-50m from main house. Cheap cable and splitters cause 10dB loss. We survey route, use SABS CT100 twin-shield backbone, no illegal joiners under tiles, install F-type wall plates, keep flatlet feed isolated so it doesn’t load main Explora. Test signal at both points with Promax – we ensure MER stays above 12 dB at flatlet. ExtraView heartbeat stable.
Do you install ExtraView and Triple View in Horizon View?
Yes. We install ExtraView & Triple View for 2-3 rooms in Horizon View. We assess current LNB and cabling – communal systems need filtered Smart LNB – install Smart LNB if needed, run additional neat cabling (ceiling void or external conduit on face-brick), link compatible decoders (Explora + HD). We do hardwired heartbeat for stable viewing. Check decoder compatibility on dstv.com for Explora Ultra and ExtraView requirements.
Are you accredited and do you use Promax meter with 12-month warranty?
Yes – Tech Installations is accredited DSTV installer for Horizon View. We use Promax HD RANGER+ professional meter – every job locked to IS20 68.5E with MER 14.2 dB evidence, BER and link margin documented. SABS-approved cabling, compression connectors, sealed LNB, no messy cables. All parts and workmanship carry 12-month warranty, same-day service in Horizon View if you call before 12pm.
