About Our DStv & Aerial Installation Service

A poorly installed DStv or aerial system is one of the most common sources of frustration for television viewers — weak signals, pixelating pictures, frequent E48-32 errors, and dishes that blow out of alignment after every storm are all symptoms of an installation that was not done correctly the first time. Andrex Electricals Systems provides professional DStv dish installation, free-to-air aerial installation, multi-room setups, and full signal troubleshooting services. We do the job properly — with the right equipment, correctly aligned and securely mounted — so you get a strong, stable signal and a clean, professional installation you can rely on.

DStv Satellite Dish Installation & Alignment

Getting the best possible signal from a satellite dish requires precise alignment to the correct satellite position and a secure, vibration-free mount. Our technicians use satellite signal meters to achieve optimal dish alignment, maximising signal strength and quality on every transponder. We select the appropriate mount for your specific situation — wall bracket, roof pole, or chimney bracket — and use the correct fixings for your wall type to ensure the dish remains firmly in place even in strong winds. Cables are routed neatly and protected against the elements, with proper weatherproofing at the LNB connection to prevent moisture ingress that can degrade signal quality over time.

Multi-Room DStv & Extra View Setups

If you want to watch DStv in multiple rooms simultaneously, a properly configured multi-room or Extra View setup is the solution. We install the additional LNB ports, distribution splitters, and cabling required to feed multiple decoders from a single dish, and we configure the Extra View pairing between decoders so that all receivers share a single subscription. Cable routes are planned to minimise cable lengths and run discreetly along walls, through ceiling voids, or concealed within trunking for a clean, professional appearance. We also install wall-mounted decoder brackets and manage all cabling behind the TV for a tidy finish.

Free-to-Air & Digital Terrestrial TV Aerials

Not everyone wants a paid satellite subscription — free-to-air television via a well-installed aerial delivers a wide range of channels without any monthly fees. We install directional Yagi aerials and wideband digital aerials for DTT (digital terrestrial television) reception, positioned and oriented for the best available signal in your area. Where internal aerial installation is an option, we assess signal levels at various indoor positions before recommending the most appropriate solution. All aerial installations include a signal quality check using a spectrum analyser to confirm reliable reception across all available channels.

Signal Troubleshooting & Upgrades

If your existing DStv installation is giving you problems — frequent signal loss, pixelation, E48-32 errors, or poor performance in wet weather — we carry out a systematic signal investigation to identify the cause. Common issues include a misaligned dish, a failing LNB, deteriorated or water-damaged coaxial cable, poorly made cable connections, or an underpowered multi-switch. We diagnose the root cause accurately and carry out a targeted fix rather than replacing components unnecessarily. For older installations, we also offer upgrade services to bring the system up to current performance standards.
