Cold weather signal loss

[Butcha]

When the weather gets below 5 degrees, I lose the satellite signal. When it warms up to 10-15 degrees everything returns to normal. What could be the problem? LNB?

It's the LNB affected by the extreme cold. Same thing happens with extreme heat

Could be the center wire in the cable shrinks back away from the connection in cold weather.

That would be some incredible shrinkage.

Back in the day they had a batch of bad Twin LNBs that brand new out of the box would lose signal on the first warm day. Replaced at least a hundred of them.

Not really, if the connection is tenuous extreme cold can shrink the center wire enough to pull it back from the connector. Make sure your stingers are adequate.

I know of one stinger which definitely shrinks during extreme cold.
