DStv Installation Relocation | What to Expect When Moving House
Moving house can involve a long checklist, from transporting furniture and updating your address to reconnecting electricity and internet services. Your DStv should also be included in your moving plans. Mr DStv provides professional DStv relocation services to help homeowners move their existing DStv setup from one property to another safely and get their television working correctly at the new home.
A DStv relocation is more than simply removing the satellite dish and putting it back up at the new property. The new home may have a different roof structure, wall position, cable route and satellite line of sight. Mr DStv assesses these factors before securely installing and aligning the equipment so that you can enjoy reliable DStv reception after your move.
Plan Your DStv Relocation Before Moving Day
The easiest way to avoid unnecessary disruption is to arrange your DStv relocation in advance. Let Mr DStv know your moving date and the new address so that the relocation can be planned around your move. If you are taking your television and decoder with you, keep the decoder, remote control and related equipment together and handle them carefully during transportation.
The satellite dish should also be handled with care. Avoid bending the dish, damaging the LNB or losing small mounting components, as these can affect the installation at the new property. Mr DStv can safely remove the existing equipment and reinstall it at your new home as part of the relocation process.
What Happens During a DStv Relocation?
Safe Removal of Your Existing Equipment
Mr DStv can carefully remove the satellite dish, LNB, cabling and associated installation components from the old property. Professional removal helps reduce the risk of equipment damage and prevents careless removal from creating problems such as damaged mounting points or exposed cable connections.
Assessing the New Installation Position
Every property is different. At the new home, Mr DStv checks the most suitable position for the satellite dish, taking into consideration the available mounting surface and clear satellite line of sight. Trees, walls, buildings and other obstructions can interfere with reception, making correct positioning an important part of the relocation.
Reinstalling and Aligning the Satellite Dish
Once the appropriate position has been established, Mr DStv securely mounts the dish and reconnects the LNB and cabling. The dish must then be aligned correctly for the new location. A dish that worked perfectly at the previous property cannot simply be installed at the new home in the same position and expected to produce the same signal.
Reconnecting and Testing Your DStv
After the dish installation is completed, Mr DStv reconnects the decoder and television equipment and checks the DStv signal. The system can then be tested to identify potential reception, cabling or connection problems before the installation is completed.
Should You Move the DStv Dish Yourself?
Although it may appear straightforward, relocating a satellite dish involves working at height, handling installation equipment and correctly aligning the dish. Attempting to remove or reinstall the dish without the appropriate tools and experience can result in equipment damage, poor signal reception or an incorrectly secured installation.
Using Mr DStv means the relocation can be handled as a professional installation at the new property rather than simply treating it as a plug-and-play move. If your new home has different cabling requirements, multiple television points or a different dish mounting position, these requirements can also be assessed during the relocation.
