Is there any place to find replacement white lnbf covers? My Hopper had been experiencing significant rain fade lately where we would completely lose signal from our Balitmore locals on 61.5. We are on EA with a 1000.4 dish. This partial signal loss problem would persist much longer than the end of the storm, and frequently until the middle of the next day. Yesterday afternoon, nearly 24 hours after the last rain storm, 61.5 was showing a signal strength between 10 and not locked, and 18 (barely locked), and my family was frustrated. I checked out the dish on the roof and noticed when I rocked the dish, I could see through the plastic cover on 61.5 that it was nearly full to the top with water sloshing around when I rocked the dish. I noticed the cover was cracked at the top. I tried to pull the cover off with my hand and found it was very brittle like weather worn plastic. A small piece broke off in my hand at the top where the crack had been. I pressed on the front of the cover near the bottom, and with little effort, the plastic cracked letting out what seemed like a full drinking glass water. The signal strength nearly immediately jumped to the mid 50's and solid green. I know that if I sign up for the $8/month service plan for 6 months (or whatever the minimum currently is), dish will replace it for 'free'. However, I usually save the service plan for when I have a receiver problem. It seems like this plastic part should cost less than $8 (or $48 dollars if you count the 6 months of the plan).
Any ideas?
