OVHD Satellite Switch – Important Update

OVHD will soon no longer be using the services of one of our two satellites currently used for broadcasting.

If you are tuned into the satellite we are switching off, you will need to move your dish. To get assistance from our Installers please submit your contact details using the form below. Alternatively please go to Channel 100 to see if your satellite dish needs to be moved.

    • I have the same problem now. What did you eventually do to sort it out?

    • Did you get sorted out I got the same problem.

      • The problems can be different:

        1 – Previously had signal but now due to heavy cloud/rain or a cabling/dish alignment issue you now have lost signal. Often when the weather returns clear the problem is solved.
        2 – Check if anything is obstructing your satellite dish. The satellite dish on your roof needs a clear line of sight to the sky to receive the signal.
        3 – If the problem persists, call an Openview installer near your home. Or For further help WhatsApp 082 966 6429 or call the Openview Call Centre 0861 696 843.

    • Hi, follow these steps to restore signal:
      1 – Disconnect the power and LNB (Dish) cables that are connected to your Openview decoder.
      2 – Once both cables have been removed from the decoder, reinsert the LNB cable first, followed by the power supply cable, and wait for the decoder to reboot automatically.
      3 – When the decoder has restarted, check to see whether any visuals are appearing on the screen.
      Now all channels should be restored.
      If you still have problems contact Openview.
      WhatsApp 082966 6429 or call the Call Centre 0861 696 843.
