Why this DStv user couldn't watch TV when it was cold at night

A DStv customer recently contacted MyBroadband after he experienced problems watching sport channels at night.

The reader stated that when he moved into his home, he ordered DStv and its set-up in early 2017.

Thanks for 5 minutes of my life I will not get back.. :/

TLDR, faulty component in a particular batch of smart LNBs does not play well with the cold causing loss of signal..

Lol. I had a similar situation. In winter at night the secondary decoder would stop getting heartbeat from the primary decoder. After months I figured out that it only happens when a certain outside light was switched on (automatically on timer). I moved the light (including wiring) now the problem is gone.

Probably electrical interference... could never understand why it happened only at nights and only during winter though.

My uncapped LTE works fine in the cold.

Thanks for the article. I think a family member might have this problem.
Now there might be a solution.
