    Anyone any idea how to combat the loss of the Irish stations in bad weather? I'm using a sky dish which i installed myself to my new house. I get all the normal stations on sky and sometimes loose the movies also.. Got a sat finder and got 75% signal.. Any idea's.. I was thinking maybe of raising the dish a little higher..

    Sounds like mis alignment, are there any trees in the direction you are pointing? What cable have you used?

    Would I be right in saying Cumulonimbus cloud will block the signal reaching your dish particularly when you have very heay rain associated with it? Usually thunder storms and very heay rain are always with Cumulonimbus cloud, more often very heay rain.

    I have often considered getting a bigger dish to combat this but it doesn't happen very often.

    I do agree with you Tony, lose signal in just 'bad weather' is a dish alignment problem.
