Weather related Signal problems
Natural calamities can affect signal reception. If the satellite broadcast is severely affected by
bad weather conditions, there are a few basic steps you can take to improve reception:
Make sure your dish is correctly aimed to receive the strongest possible signal.
1.
If this does not solve the problem, you may consider installing a larger dish. This can help to
gather more of the signal transmission.
2.
If you live in an area subject to frequent snow or freezing rain, you may need to install a
de-icing system to eliminate the accumulation of unwanted ice, snow or moisture from the
surface of your dish.
3.
If the program reception is adversely affected by heavy winds, you can stabilize the dish
mount with cables.
