Sure someone posted in this thread somewhere about a clear plastic coke bottle or similar being cut around to just fit over the lnb arm, and being at correct angle that it doesn't impact on the signal... Not sure if it'd work, but sounds a good idea...

 

[DrProzac]

I was look for something more inventive.
I'm sure I read someone had once install a battery powered heater to help melt the snow away?

Or perhaps it was just a dream.

Wouldn't a coke bottle eventuly build up more now?

All of which are along the coke idea

Have a google of "Ice Zapper 2 Dish Heater"

Don't want to post any links as I don't think it's allowed.

For some reason the snow on mine as had very little difference to the signal with the lnb and dish completely covered with about 3" of snow.

I keep getting problems with my Normal Sky dish, but that's seem to just be covered in ice.

Remember though, that the sky dish is usually just about able to receive a signal I remember watching tv when lived with my parents on their sky dish. If we had heavy rain, there was no signal to be had... The 40cm dish just gets enough of a signal...

 

[DrProzac]

Which is a good thing!
I can moan to er indoors why the Gibertini dish should be installed!

Not worked yet though!!

lol, I don't think you'll get that up at all mate! Sorry. I got major moans from the missus when we put up the 85cm gibertini. She said it was far too big... But, since it's been up, she hardly looks at it, since we don't need to look up at it! I would've loved the 1m, but even I think it's a little too big hehe
