With the amount of rain we've had over the past few weeks, I've noticed a drop in signal on my motorised dish. For example right now, where I used to get around 82% signal on the TRT bouquet on 42.0E, I'm now receiving 78%. I know that's only a 5% decrease but it's caused some of the weaker transponders to break up occassionally.
Having had a look outside, there's no rainfall or snow but the LNB is covered in rain droplets and the dish is too high to reach from a window. I saw this product on Amazon and wondered whether they are beneficial?I can't say I've noticed many houses with these attached to the dish but thought I'd pose the question before buying.
Can the weather affect the signal on-route to the satellite or would it be based purely at my location? (i.e. If let's say its snowing up north or in Germany but fine here in South London, could that also cause a drop in the signal?)
