What to tell us so we can quote accurately
Most DStv jobs can be quoted properly over the phone or from the form above, without a paid callout to look at it first. Four details are usually enough:
- Your suburb. It determines the travel time and which technician is nearest. We cover Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal — see the full coverage list.
- The type of property. Freestanding house, cluster, complex, apartment or commercial. Single or double storey. Complexes and estates sometimes have rules about where a dish may go, which is worth checking before we arrive.
- What is already there. An existing dish that just needs realigning is a different job to a fresh installation. If there is a dish, tell us roughly how old it is.
- How many rooms. Each additional viewing point needs either a cable run or a Smart LNB, plus a decoder.
If it is a fault rather than an installation, the single most useful thing you can send us is the exact message on screen. Error codes are specific, and we can often identify the cause before dispatching anyone — our error-code guide explains what each one means.
How quickly we respond
Phone and WhatsApp
Fastest route. Bookings made before midday are usually attended the same day across most of Gauteng, subject to technician availability. Weekend slots carry no surcharge.
The form and email
We come back to form enquiries within working hours, normally within about 30 minutes. If it is urgent — a signal loss before a big match, a commercial site down — phone rather than emailing.
Before you book, two things worth checking
- Is it the weather? A signal error during a Highveld thunderstorm is usually rain fade and clears on its own. DStv's E48-32 code is literally titled "Weather". If it has not returned once the sky is clear, then it is a fault.
- Is it your account? Errors E16, E17 and E19 are subscription or billing issues, and no amount of work on the dish will fix them. Worth checking your DStv account before paying for a callout.
We would rather tell you that on the phone than take a callout fee for something you did not need.
What we cover
