Wet Satellite

[Armchair Expert]

Every time it rains I loose my satellite signal, it is pointed at Hotbird. I have replaced the LNB but t has not made a difference.

Anyone with advice

Or you can buy these weather guards, not that expensive.

Could be one or a combination of things

Dish position could be off, so when it rains signal degrades, signal loss

Cable could be letting moisture in, so when it rains, moisture gets in, signal degrades

Dish could be to small, nothing to do with rain directly. But in rain signal strength drops, signal degrades

Yep too many people try to get hotbird etc of a sky mini dish. While you can make it work you are better off with a larger dish.

I forgot about this as the dish was working great until tonight

I had the dish many years and it has given clear reception until recently.

I have signal strength of 78% but quality of 0%.

I will climb up tomorrow and see if I can see any breaks in the cable.
