I was out 3 times tonight to clear my dish (direct TV) of snow. An
acquaintance some time back suggested spraying it with silicone so the
snow would slide off. I am debating it but would that degrade the
signal?

Silicone may work fine but WD-40 would work better. WD was designed for use
with electronic components. As long as the material you use does not contain
metallic components it shouldn't affect the signal. You should clean the
dish in the spring anyway.
