I have had the AT 9 dish since this summer, with no reception problems. I previously had the phase III dish for several years with no major reception problems when it snowed here in Colorado.
We had our first snow of the season in the city today, and although somewhat wet, nothing major. It did stick some to the dish, but I wiped it off. I am still getting reception problems on several channels.
I never had this issue before with the phase III dish with this amount of snow on the dish. It would take several inches of snow before I would lose reception. Again, this snow is nothing major, and even after wiping off the dish, several channels are not coming in.
I wonder since the AT 9 dish is "deeper", it can hold more snow than the phase III dish, or more likely to have reception problems when snow accumulates.
Has anyone else experienced this with the new dish, and can you put something on the dish to keep the snow from sticking? ie, car wax, etc? Now I am really worried about when winter hits if I will always have this problem with the new dish. Somewhat frustrating.
Same issue on all TVs - I also have a zinwell 6x8 multiswitch and 6 tvs hooked up, one H20, one HR20 - same issue on all of them.
Thanks
