Is it true that weather can affect reception of satellite TV signals?
Yes it is. For example, a symptom called “rain fade” is a common problem with all satellite services. This occurs when there is heavy rain, which can result in the obstruction of the satellite signals and even blackouts of service. If the mini-dish is installed improperly, these outages are even more likely to occur. Also, accumulation of snow and ice during the winter months can reduce the quality of your reception.
