Occasionally your DStv signal gets lost temporarily when the rains come down; this phenomena in the satellite broadcast industry is known as rain fade. Rain fade refers primarily to the absorption of satellite signal by atmospheric rain, dust or intense sunlight cutting the communication to your decoder. In some cases, the weather is perfect in your locality but still the picture on your TV scrambles or freezes stemming from possible bad weather at the MultiChoice uplink site. Once the heavy shower has passed, normal communications returns and your picture is back.
To ensure your viewing experience is pleasant, MultiChoice Ghana insists all DStv installations must be done by a certified installer using the right tools and a spectrum meter in ensure the signal strength and quality are above the minimum accepted levels to ensure minimal disruptions in the event of weather changes. Signal interruptions that occur during heavy downpours is unfortunately a feature on all satellite broadcast systems worldwide. It is extremely difficult to fight the power of nature, we must add that should you be encountering frequent signal losses at the inception of rain, let a certified installer check your installation or contact the nearest DStv office for assistance.
