Snow on dish
We've had DTV since 94. WAY back then we were told to never put anything on our dish. When we have a wet snow our dish is covered and we lose reception. Has anything changed in a couple of decades? I don't have to pull out the ladder (though it WOULD be easier) to clean it off.

If you have an HR44/HR54/HS17 Genie HD DVR connected to the Internet you are able to stream most of the channels over your internet connection (Wired via ethernet or over wireless Wi-Fi). This feature was recently released by directv and I find it really helpful, especially in your case.

No. There's no safe coating that will prevent snow build-up without tarnishing or damaging the dish. If you can't safely reach the dish to brush off the snow try using a "sooper soaker" style squirt rifle with warm water to melt off the snow.

You can buy and install a dish heater.
