I heard it's a good idea to spray you dish with cooking spray so it is very slick and snow just falls off. Anybody try it?

The other day, I had my HR20 installed and got to talking with the installer. He told me that if you put Rain X on the surface of your dish, it helps with rain fade. I was always under the understanding that it was not what was on your dish, but how much and how heavy the rain was between your dish and the satellites. Has anyone had any experience with this?
Did the 5 LNB dish channels go out, or just the 3 LNB one ?I don't live in a snow area even though Albuquerque, NM is about a mile high. This winter I've had lost signal 3 or 4 times. 2 or 3 of those times with less than two inches reported locally. Our biggest snow storm on record this year (16-18inches) easilly covered the dishes.
Usually TNTHD goes out first then XM879 and channel 95. But with a 3 story tree trimmer, a few towels, and some rubber bands, the dishes are fixed in minutes.
2 3lnb's
1 5lnb full size
The 5 LNB big dish goes out about the same time as the 3 LNBs in snow. It lasts a little longer when it rains during the monsoon season, meaning it takes more rain and larger clouds to disrupt the signal.
