Satellite Dishes
A satellite dish is essential for some people who do not receive television signals or cable television in remote areas. Thus, in areas where there is winter, snow piling up on satellite dishes, which are usually placed on top of houses, becomes a big problem. Snow usually blocks the signal transmission of the satellite dish and can become a problem for signal transmission.
Sometimes snow removal services aren’t always available to remove snow from these areas. There are things that you can do, however, that will let you know how to keep snow off satellite dish.
How to Keep Snow Off Satellite Dish
The best time to take action is late fall, before snow starts to fall. The first thing you have to do is use your hand to carefully wipe dead leaves and other debris from the satellite dish.
It’s important that you don’t move the satellite dish at all and that you don’t touch the Low Noise Block Converter or its supporting arm. Just clean the satellite dish gently of fallen leaves and debris.
After this, spray the metal dish with Rain-X or WD-40. Spray just lightly, and only the metal dish. Do not spray the Low Noise Block Converter or its supporting arm. WD-40 is one of the tools that you need to prevent snow from sticking or to remove snow. It’s very handy to have during winter.
Another alternative is to use cooking spray if you don’t have either of those on hand. However, cooking spray can leave a sticky residue on your satellite dish and can let mold and mildew form. So, it really is better to use Rain-X or WD-40 to prevent snow from sticking to your satellite dish.
