Television reception on the system is highly reliable year-round and nationwide. During heavy rains or lightening, however, some DTH customers may experience a temporary loss of picture quality. This phenomenon is due to rain attenuation. To avoid this problem you must install an Antenna of Bigger size. This phenomenon also can occur if the dish or low noise block converter (LNB) accumulates too much of water. When water accumulates on the dish, the service is not lost but the strength of the signal can be weakened. This "signal fall-off" occurs when water content is at its highest. So you should wipe off the dish in Rainy season.
Most retailers would suggest you to go for a low size antenna but the size of the antenna is very crucial and has to be calculated by EIRP and foot-print coverage. We will shortly be adding this feature on our web-site wherein you will be able to calculate the antenna size yourself!
