Anybody with a dish knows that you can be having heavy rain, the dish is getting soaked yet you have perfect picture, then on another occasion you will have very little rain and the picture fades out. Thats because in the first case the clouds are not blocking the line of sight to the satellite but in the second the clouds are blocking the satellite. Cloud coverage and sheeting rain blocking the signal play a 95% part in signal loss, the wet surface of the dish is only about 5% of the problem The poster telling you that water build up on the dishes surface NOT being the problem is correct!

Most rain fade 99% is due to heavy rain sheets in weather fronts rolling in line of sight between the satellite and the dish. WX2100 won't help that any more than bug spray would repel a hurricane!

Not sure who posted this blog entry about WX2100, but getting on your roof may soon be no problem. Installers are picking up this product and will soon be able to get on the roof for you...at installation or in response to an outage complaint. Please note that I work for Cytonix, the manufacturer of WX2100. jb Hello! Not sure who posted this blog entry about WX2100, but getting on your roof may soon be no problem.
