Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, atmospheric conditions, such as wind, heavy rain and other storm activities, can affect your TV reception, causing pixellation, image freezing to loss of channels. The winds can cause your antenna to break or be dislodged from your roof (causing damage to your property).

Detailed explanation-2: -During a rainstorm, the raindrops can weaken or absorb the signal on its way to a satellite dish. Rain can also cause signal scattering as the electromagnetic waves refract and diffract around raindrops on the surface of the dish.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you really want to spray your satellite dish, we recommend satellite rain fade solution. There is also advice to use satellite rain covers. Like the cooking spray, these can often cause as many problems as they solve. The rain doesn’t have to be on the dish to cause distortion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The negative effect that rain has on satellite signals is called rain-fade. This refers to the absorption of a radio/ microwave signal by atmospheric conditions, such as rain, ice, snow.
