Slimline dish and snow?

[dinotheo]

Hi all,
I have had a slimline dish for about a year now. I have noticed that even with the slightest amount of snow I lose signal. All signals, not just KA. On the same spot on my roof, I previously had a 3lnb dish and never ever had a problem. I even had over 25" of snow once and it didn't even flinch. My new dish will completely lose signal with barely an inch on the ground. Are these dishes more sensitive to snow? Had I not kept my OTA on my HR10-250's, I'd be bored silly right now. I'd love to connect OTA to my HR20's but I can't really run a third coax for OTA (maybe have to wait for SWM)

Thanks

Used Rain-X on mine and have had no problem with Snow, and we have had a lot lately!
