This post is all about how to make decoder work in remote villages and other service-scanty locations, using Chrismas as case study, which is our utmost travel time of the year. I have provided a simple steps that make decoder work in remote areas such as forests or bush. This steps ensure you receive signals for smooth viewing.
At times like Christmas, when people usually travel home to reunite and celebrate with their families and loved ones, many are faced with uncertainties over how to make their DStv work in their villages.
It has become a frequent inquiry from DStv users – would my DStv work if I carry my decoder down to village? Some may ask – I had another decoder at the village, if I remove my Smartcard and slot it into another decoder, would it work?
Summarily, all satellite TVs for which DStv service is one, works everywhere. It doesn’t matter your location as long as you can view the sky. Whether in the rural village, rocky or bushy villages, mountainous or bushy, your DStv is good to go.
As earlier explained, DStv is a digital satellite pay-TV service, designed to work everyday and everywhere.
Due to its mode of signal transmission known as the Direct-To-Home (DTH) technology, by which your satellite dish communicates directly with space satellites. Technically DStv works everywhere.
You may carry your DStv decoder to any place . All you need to have is a satellite dish that is properly aligned or tracked to obtain signals from space satellite and in the case of DStv West Africa – the Eutelsat W7.
Therefore, by just connecting your decoder to your satellite dish coaxial signal cable wire, your DStv is good to go. Remember that you need to subscribe to a desired DStv bouquet, so that upon connecting your signal cable, it shall be just to plug and play.
Never attempt to use your decoder smartcard on some other decoders. The Smartcard in your DStv decoder is married to the latter. All DStv decoders now have special silicon security protection, which makes it impossible to steal Smartcards with intentions of using it in another decoder.
