Fixing My Own Satellite TV

Hey JessDIY’rs

Due to load shedding electronics tend to have a shorter lifespan on this side of the world! As you can imagine switching off the power and switching it on again from the grid all the time would create surges that destroy electronics.

If you do not have surge protection plugs or switch your plugs off during that time. If had to have the TV repaired which I hardly use anyway and my pS4 needed repairs because of it

Now the TV satellite decoder packed up and they don’t offer repairs so I had to get a nee one.

As is in Cape Town it was windy as shit and LOl I’m not that good with heights but It wasn’t too bad!

I was low key just worried if the ladder falls id be fucked since I didn’t have anyone to put it back for me so I’d be stuck on the roof.

The issue with the new one is that you need to replace the LNB on the dish so I had to haul my ass up on the roof and have it replaced and then Redo all the settings!

Took me about 3 hours to get everything going again but it’s all working just fine and saved a few bucks on calling out an installer and I learned something new in the process

Changes after lock down

It’s amazing how suddenly with all these lock downs and the idea of having people in your personal space or spending money on things you can do yourself has changed! If this was last year you can be sure I wouldn’t have bothered to do it myself!

But because We now have had these shelter in place orders and budgets are tighter as I spend more on BTC every month I figured might as well try to do things to cut costs not what it’s much but it all counts

If anyone needs their TV set up I am your guy open up a new revenue stream and convert that few Pennies into BTC!

Now to relax for the rest of the day and watch the Arsenal game once it comes on! Ah now to think about what to make for lunch

Have your say

What do you good people of HIVE think?

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, comment "I am a Jessie."
