Thus the thrust of this research is to analyse the impact of rain specifically on the ku frequency band for satellite tv transmission.
Satellite tv heavy rain.
Typically this occurs rarely and lasts only a short period of time.
It s not water on the satellite dish or the lnb itself that s the problem it s that the heavy rain is causing an attenuation of the signal.
And it is also true that a steady particularly heavy rain can block the signal from the communications satellite in the sky to your satellite dish whether it s from directv or dish.
Break up of a satellite tv signal due to very heavy rain is hard to avoid i m afraid.
For instance snow can possibly disrupt satellite tv as well as heavy rain and winds.
For the majority of users it is heavy rains that can attenuate signal enough to result in noticeable degradation of image quality.
The signal from the orbiting satellite to your dish is being disrupted.
It is known that adverse weather can affect quality of the satellite tv signal reception just how much of a problem it can really be.
Satellite tv packages.
Satellite tv companies offer more channel package options and add on channel options than most cable companies.
You could have just a few channels that are affected or if the weather is very severe you may.
Access more sports premium movie channels and international channels.
This disrupts the tv signal.
Cable is less vulnerable to bad weather such as heavy rain which can affect satellite tv service.
A heavy storm could knock out your area s cable system for instance causing your tv picture and internet to go out.
