superdish plus snow fall = problem

[lime4x4]

My 105 superdish was woking great for the last month or so..Then today it snowed..Well after about 8 hours of snow fall i went to check the weather from my local station which i get from the 105 bird well my 811 couldn't find the 105 sat..Looked at the signal strength screen 119 and 110 well over 100 the 105 sat nothing..looked at the dish it barely had any snow on it but it did have a thin coating of ice on the dish..So i got some hot water poured it over the dish and the 105 sat came back..I guess the 105 is really picky with snow and ice build up..

The 105/121 slots will always go down first. They're low powered and that's why the SuperDish is much bigger. Even with the size of the SuperDish, average signal strength for the 105/121 Sats is in the 70s. The higher the signal strength, the more interference it'll have to have before the signal gets lost. This explains why you still had 110/119 and not your 105 sat. Hope that helps.

Before the begining of the next winter, spray some cooking oil spray, like Pam, on it.

It will prevent buildup of snow and ice.

Excellent idea !!

Good for snow shovels too (aluminum).

What is snow ?

What is snow ?

Precip that falls from the sky in the winter in the form of flakes, also called snowflakes

When this happens in places like the South, school is closed and people have absolutelly no clue how to drive. (my uncle use to live in SC so he can attest to this).

When snow falls would you need people that are named ashley too keep you warm ?
