Whether or not it’s the Weather
Whether or not it’s the Weatherby Sammy Satellite. – Staff Writer for n2news There may be a lot of reasons that you’ve suddenly lost the picture on your satellite receiver. Here are some common questions and answer about the weather and its effect on your signal. Can or snow cause the signal to be lost? Rain is generally not a problem for satellite signals but snow can be. A common problem in cold parts of the world is ice buildup on the satellite dish. Snow and ice can add a reasonable amount of weight to a dish as it builds up over a season. The most common problem Sammy finds is the very subtle movement of the dish over the winter season. Slowly the weight of the snow and ice pulls the dish out of alignment. If you live in a heavy snow or ice area you may have to make sure your dish is very well mounted and you may also install an optional year-round cover that prevents the buildup of ice and snow. Rain doesn’t generally stop satellite reception but you mind find that heavy storms bring thick dark clouds and these can cause a short interruption. A well tuned receiver with good line of sight should not experience many rain outages.
Very cold weather can also slow down the motor causing alignment issues. If you live in a very cold region you will want to check with the manufacturer of your equipment to make sure that it supports the normal conditions you live in. Some of the lower end units are not meant for extreme cold. Twice a year the Sun comes into alignment and creates sun spots that interrupt satellite signals for a few minutes at a time. This will happen off and on through the day for a couple days and never at night. It’s rare that the weather outside will affect your reception so fire up the Fireplace Channel, grab a cup of hot cocoa and relax.
