The HD channels are much more sensitive to the skew of the LNB from your dish – should this be slightly out, you will experience problems with your HD reception. Should this happen when you ' plug and play' your new DStv HD Decoder into your existing set up, we suggest that you get an accredited installer out to check the skew of your LNB.

Why is the signal strength and quality on my new DStv HD decoder lower than my previous decoder or than what the installer is seeing on his meter? The signal quality and signal strength on your DStv HD Decoder will read about 15-20% lower than on other single view decoders. This is no cause for concern.

To ensure the best experience when using your DStv HD Decoder, the signal quality and signal strength levels should be greater than 50%. If lower than 50% you’ll experience quality issues that could spoil your viewing. These range from increased downtime during bad weather, poor quality picture on some channels, or even lack of signal entirely for other channels. In this case, we recommend that you get a MultiChoice accredited installer to check your installation and make the necessary adjustments to improve your signal quality.
