I noticed my Primestar on G10 had very bad rainfade and it took at least a day of clear skys for the signal to come back.
Yesterday i went out and looked into the "eye" of the Primestar LNB and saw a little puddle of water in there. I guess because of the low point angle of G10 when it rains the water runs "downhill" into the eye of the LNB. I blew it out with dry compressed air and am now getting signals in the high 70 to low 80s on G10. That is the highest I have ever had.
What I did was to take a sandwich bag and stretch it over the LNB. Using the rubber red gasket that was on the LNB around the Scalar? ring I friction fitted it over the opening to the LNB and then trimmed it around the edge. I suspect that at one time this Primestar LNB had some type of raincover for the LNB and that is what the red gasket held in place.
