Is it me or has DirecTV become increasingly more suseptable to "rain fade?" I've had the service for about two years now and have always had some signal loss during *bad* weather. But it seems that the last few months I've got trouble every time it just rains. I've tweaked and re-tweaked my dish and I'm convinced it's aimed for maximum signal stength, which on some transponders ain't nuthin' to write home about.Has anyone else made a similar observation?
Follow Ups:
I have had DircTv since they came out in 1994.The rain fade has always been there it is not any worse today. I have upgraded to an HD receiver and dish. I find with the 3 LNB dish in heavy rain I lose only two of the satelites. The one that has my local channels stays on for some reason.
The older larger dishes were sent a low power beam that was wider than the narrow high powered beam sent to the small dishes today. That is why the older dishes were less affected by rain.
You might chech all of your connections for corrosion. A small amount of corrosion will cause a small signal loss, which might make the difference.
Good Luck...
it's pretty much an annual ritual to re-terminate the RG-6 connections, especially the outdoor ones. A crimper is a good investment if you have DirecTV or Dish.
