The colder the weather, the better signal?!

Is it true, the colder the weather, the better the satellite signal ?!?

Yes, because the cold weather reduces the earth noise and the noise of the RF stages in the LNB.
Many years ago, in the first era of satellite TV (in the 60s or 70s) all professional C band reception setup used LNBs with specific device to cold the internal RF stages. I don't know if such LNBs still exist, maybe not.

There was a similar post last month you might like to look at.

Cold \ Frost - better signal

i've noticed when its very cold, my reception gets stronger on weaker sats and TP's - why is that? whats the science behind it.

There are a few links in that thread to follow as well.

Colder outside temperature -1.0°C, using TBS 6522/TBS 6903 on 2.2m from my place in south-west of Germany.
I can see first screenshots on 12054 V (5.2dB on TBS 6522). "Smooth" lock (-10.dB on TBS 6903) on 12303
