DSTV E48-32 Error Message Caused By Plant Growth

As we all play our part in reducing the impact of global warming by protecting the plants that we have, in the event that these plants overgrow they will impact the quality of the signal that you receive.

To check and see if the E48-32 Error Message is being caused by overgrown plants, all you need to do is to check if there are any plants obstructing your DSTV satellite dish. If that is the case then in some cases clearing the plants will fix this problem. However there have been cases whereby after clearing the plant growth which caused your DSTV decoder to lose signal and display the E48-32 Error message then it means your DSTV satellite dish needs to be realigned and configured as it might have been moved by the plant growth.

In the event that you can’t have the overgrown plants cut down or moved, the other solution will be to have your DSTV satellite dish moved to another position which will be free from obstructions. There have been cases as well when the plant growth has caused damage to the LNB thus requiring a new LNB to be replaced. If you had plant growth obstructing your DSTV satellite dish and you have cleared the obstruction but you are still experiencing signal problems?

DSTV E48-32 Error Message Due To Bad Workmanship

Getting someone who is not qualified to install satellite dishes can leave you with more headaches. The E48-32 DSTV Error Message can be as a result of poor workmanship. So how can you tell if you are having this problem because the previous DSTV installer took you for a ride? Below we have listed things you can look at to determine if you are having DSTV signal problems due to unscrupulous DSTV installer.

Skew LNB

If your LNB is not set properly, it will cause the dish to get low signal quality. There is a unit called Bit Error Rate (BER), the higher the BER is, the poor your signal strength is. BER is measured by sophisticated equipment which we have. Some so called DSTV installers do not have the right equipment to measure all the variables to ensure uninterrupted viewing experience. The LNB on a DSTV satellite dish needs to be set at a specific angle. 

A skew LNB on your DSTV decoder can cause an issue whereby you are able to view certain channels but can’t access certain channels which are part of your DSTV subscription. There have also been recorded cases whereby one can access certain channels at certain hours but you start having DSTV signal issues?  This can be as a result of a skew DSTV Satellite Dish LNB. Lucky for you, we have a team of highly specialized DSTV technicians 24/7 covering Cape Town and the whole of the Western Cape. We guarantee you the peace of mind of never having your DSTV experience interrupted by signal issues.

      Hi Trey, i can’t really say what the root cause is as each and every situation is unique. It sounds like during the day, the satellite dish gets a signal boost from an object reflecting to your dish. And now when the sun goes down that reflection isn’t there and it reduces your signal strength at night not allowing you to view certain dstv channels that you can view during the day.
      To fix this, your satellite dish needs to be re aligned so that it can get the best signal during the day and night. Cape Direct Connect is a 24/7 DSTV Installation & Repair Company in Cape Town. You can call us on 0822331115
