Dish Alignment in Hermanus
Hermanus properties take a beating from onshore wind and salt air, and dishes drift out of true alignment more than people realise. Using proper alignment meters, we bring the signal back to its full strength and cut down on the drop-outs that come with rough weather off the cliffs.
Dish Alignment in Hermanus: what to expect
Hermanus is exposed to wind off the ocean and the occasional winter storm, and both can turn a dish a few millimetres at the mounting. That is invisible from the ground but large enough to cost you the signal, which is why a dish that worked for years can suddenly stop.
We re-align using a professional meter, aiming for the strongest, cleanest signal rather than just a picture, then tighten the mounting so the position holds. If the bracket itself has rusted or loosened we replace it, because re-aiming a dish on a failing bracket only lasts until the next gust.

Questions about Dish Alignment in Hermanus
How often does a dish need re-aligning?
A well-fixed dish can go for years, but strong wind, a storm or a ladder leaned against it can shift it overnight. Re-align whenever the picture starts to break up or the signal drops without an obvious cause.
Can I re-aim my own dish using the signal screen?
It is tempting, but small movements matter and you can end up locked on the wrong satellite, so we recommend leaving it to a meter and a professional. Never climb onto a roof to try.
