Sky + problem

    Anytime we get a slight heavy shower or more consistent rain the Sky + loses reception completly. The dish is located on the eastern side of my house so i thought it would have been protected well enough from the elements.
    Since it was installed (2 years ago) the signal strenght was always kind of low (input1:30%-40%,input2:45%-55%) but foolishly thought that this was ok. The company that installed have since gone out of business.
    I have a clean,unobstructed view south-east. I live in the Macroom area of Cork.
    Does anyone have an answer for me please.
    A big thank you in advance.
