DSTV

I hope this fits into tech other..

I've scoured the DSTV forums and dstv related places and I don't necessarily get an answer to my problem.

So anyway, my tenant complained that her DSTV on 2 exploras Xtraview only work on and off. She took it to DSTV and they said it's a decoder problem, but the stuff is only 3 years old and mine worked for 10+ years so it could be, but I doubt it.

Anyway, she stays in a complex, and the body corp asked us to remove our satellite dishes from the walls so that they can do repair work. I then went to remove it and I see that another apartment has their cables inserted into my dish. Could this be the cause of her losing signal on and off as they are leeching off of my Dish? Nobody approached me nor her to ask for permission to connect their cables to my dish which I paid for, and there's other dishes too, and the DSTV installers that did mine did not suggest to connect mine to an existing dish (perhaps to get more money out of me though)

Any thoughts?

Yes

Yes

Does my rambling not make sense? I don't know how to make it more concise.

Yes

I think you were concise enough. Razia is just even more concise.

You can also ask the DSTv techs that looked at it originally. And talk to the body corp/neighbour person as well, I'd be pretty pissed if someone helped themselves to my dish.

Hey, sorry. I just felt a need for a bit of humor on a Friday. I'd definitely suggest having it inspected. I've seen instances of that before but it was handled differently than your scenario.

Is the complex in Gordon's Bay?

Nope, in Goodwood.
