[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 753456, member: 369937"] And the best and cheapest way to keep the snow off the dish/LNB is a heavy duty black lawn/leaf/garbage bag big enough to fit over the dish and LNB and duct taped down, it wount affect the signal and if there are iceing problems then put a 25 to 40 watt light bulb in a drop light and stick it up inside the bag, works wonders, also the pipe heating tape and thermostat works good, it can be glued or taped to the back side of the dish and wrapped around the LNB to keep the ice off. The pipe heating tape should be found at most plumbing supply houses (I dont know if you all have this stuff on that side of the pond) they also have thermostats for it, you could use it for the drop light, it comes on at 0 degrees C and off when it gets above freezing. I know a place in Montana that sells electrically heated linear LNB's and stick on heat panels for the dish. [/QUOTE]
