How to get signal on my ovhd

You have to wait. This problem will go away once the rain has subsided or stopped.

Another example of signal loss.
Your Openview signal will be affected if there is a storm where the satellite uplink is transmitted.
You can have problems even if it doesn’t rain in your area. Your picture may be affected.
If Johannesburg is experiencing rain or thunderstorms, please be patient should you have a loss in signal, it will be restored, once the rain has subsided.

In this case, if you lose the Openview signal, wait a day or two before contacting an installer.
So the solution is to wait.

  5. I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY OPENVIEW NOW FOR 3 WEEKS NO SIGNAL I HAVE RESET AND CHECKED ALL CABLES I EVEN TRY TO CALL THEM

  6. Hi, I have a new Openview decoder and I’m trying to activate it. I am using an existing DSTV satellite dish. I did everything according to the user manual, but I am not even getting channel 100. When I set my tv source to DTV, I get SABC (1, 2 & 3) ; SABC (Sport, Education, News HD & Encore) ; Parliament; etv HD, eMovies, eExtra & eToonz. The other channels gives me a “scrambled signal” message. When the source is set to ATV or HDMI 3, it opens with the Openview banner, but says NO CHANNEL. I did the factory reset, changed the LNB type to SatCR, *120*6843*1#, but to no avail.

  7. Openview decoder light is flashing green and it’s not responding to remote signals, tried following the steps with the cables still nothing is being displayed on screen, the decoder started doing this only today, any help with sort of problem?
