[QUOTE="Rabbit, post: 88007, member: 176338"] A couple of evenings ago, I started losing 2D slightly(pixling on screen), in heavy rain. I decided to get wet and do some tests outside! There is a transparent plastic cover (on the front of the feedhorn) facing the dish and I think its some kind of protector for the feedhorn. Anyway, I wiped this down with a dry cloth, and reception came back again! I suppose this ground water on this cover is distorting the signal before the LNB. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to perminantly keep the Feedhorn and LNB dry during wet weather? I thought of trying to put some wax on it so the ground water can easily run off... Your advice and tips would be appreciated. (Since the bad storm down here the other week, I have used a sat beeper to re-align the dish. This means I probably do not have its optimum position. I therefore need a sat meter to get some accurate readings anyway.) [/QUOTE]
