E48-32: No Signal Error

This is the most common error on DStv decoders. It means your dish isn’t receiving a proper signal. Causes include:

• Dish misalignment

• Damaged or old LNB

• Faulty cabling
  Solution: We perform signal tests, realign the dish, and replace damaged LNBs or cables.

• Pixelation or Picture Breakup

  If your picture freezes, breaks up, or goes fuzzy, it’s likely due to:

  • Low signal strength

  • Obstructions like trees or new buildings

  • Corroded connectors or cables
    Solution: We check signal quality and replace or reroute damaged cables

  • 🔌 3. Decoder Not Booting or Hanging

    This can happen after load-shedding or power surges.
    Solution: We do:

    • Decoder resets or firmware updates

    • Decoder replacements if needed

    • Surge protector installation (optional)

    • 4. Missing Channels

      Sometimes, certain channels disappear due to:

      • Dish moved during storms

      • Incorrect decoder setup

      • LNB misconfigured
        Solution: Our team re-aligns and re-scans your decoder to restore all missing channels.

      🌧️ 5. Signal Loss During Rain or Wind
