Ridiculous
Just been having a conversation with a friend by email.
I was telling him how, due to the snow earlier in the week, I lost all satellite TV because the snow had completely covered the dish and LNB. His reply was, Quote "That can't happen to me, because my LNB has got a heater in it to prevent such things happening" endquote. He has a Sky dish..... He's probably been listening to the dross from Rupert & James Jim G |
Ridiculous
Is he speaking of the crystal Oven to keep the oscillator stable?
To be honest, it should not be that hard to stop this occurring. We used to build in heaters to radar systems to help in this regard.

The LNB is in fact just a preamp/down converter that out the front of the dish. To be honest, it should not be that hard to stop this occurring.

The times that we have lost DSAT here due to snow/ice it has been due to the snow/ice on the face of the dish rather than the front of the LNB. We have a standard zone 1 minidish, the dish is not heated... -- Cheers Dave. |
