DSTV Nigeria Different Problems And Resolutions Step By Step Procedures

There is nothing more annoying than putting your TV on and your DSTV stopped working.it is a very annoying thing when the screen goes black with that little white box pop-up “SIGNAL NOT FOUND”.

Today’s post will help you to solve different problems you can encounter on DSTV:

 

Scanning Problems

This is a problem of the decoder searching for signals on different frequencies not successfully connecting to bouquet.

• Possible Cause 1: this could be because of a change in the signal positions. To solve this, you need to re-align the dish position.
• Possible cause 2: cable has been disconnected between the decoder. To solve this, you need to connect another decoder to the signal or the decoder to another signal.

 

Scanning For A Long Time

Your decoder might take long to scan, then after it must have scanned, may start showing picture crack which is caused by low signal. To solve this, you can do a dish re-alignment.

 

DSTV Not Scanning Full Number Of Bouquets

If your decoder is connecting less bouquets, then this could be a malfunction problem. To solve this, do factory reset.

 

Picture Crack

This is normally caused by low signal quality. It’s usually happens when there is rainfall, but if the problem continues in dry weather, then it could be that your dish has moved away from signal position and might need a re-alignment. To solve this, you should contact a DSTV installer to help you.
