Cold weather signal loss

I think the 1000+ dish was a good size success too. I never had rain fade issues until my 1000.2 replaced it. Signal strength is good but still fades out with rain.

Then you'd really love a SuperDiSH!

When I joined SatGuys in 2006 there was some postings about a possible dish mesh reflector. I remember in the pic it looked like grating material. Does anyone remember that?

Those mesh dishes were all over the UK, Sky used them.

Remember Charlie's announcement of merger with Sky? After he was visited at home by Rupert Murdoch, who would later comment "I like Cholly".

Just no benefit in it. The hole size would need to be quite small not to leak at DBS frequencies and there would be very little wind-force reduction. The whole point of DBS was to be able to use a dish so small that wind wouldn't grab it in any kind of manner as with C-band size dishes. And also so small that its obtrusiveness is a couple orders of magnitude less than the C-band sizes where making them semi-transparent (through perforation or mesh) was deemed an aesthetics benefit as well as wind-load reducer.
