Snow on dish

I lost my TV signal today I am told due to snow on the dish. . There is not a measurable amount of snow accumulation on the dish. The amount of accumulation is what I would call a "dusting". This does not make sense. I had Dish TV before DirecTV and only once had to clear the snow and it was a signi

Snow on Dish

When it snows, my DirecTV is gone. Not available.  Many Satellite dishes, regardless of who provides the service are out of luck when the snow falls.  Is there some way to heat the dish so the snow melts off. Seems like someone, some company has figured this out.  Please advise.

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.

Snow in NJ

I've lost picture for an hour now in NJ because of a little snow. Very frustrating as I lose a signal in any snow or moderate rain storm. If cable had the NFL Sunday ticket I'd switch tomorrow and it's getting close to that regardless.
