I had signal loss a few weeks ago with only 2 inches of wet snow on my roof mount dish.

How to remove snow from satellite dish on roof.

Wd 40 is one of the tools that you need to prevent snow from sticking or to remove snow. Ravi 9th grade and raghu 6th grade came up with a simple contraption from stuff in garage to reach the satellite dish on roof and clear the snow. Took the hose with spray nozzle and cold water its what i had to knock it all and all was well. I have to remove about 50 satellite dishes from the roofs at one of the properties i do maintenance at.

After this spray the metal dish with rain x or wd 40. A little of research and i see that a lot of guys just unbolt the dish from the footing that is actually screwed into the roof. Will have to see what kind of crazy mix we get here over the next 2 days they re calling for just about every flavor of frozen precip at some point. Do not spray the low noise block converter or its supporting arm.

To remove the dish correctly first loosen the bolts and nuts holding the dish to the mounting bracket and gently lift it off to remove the dish separately from the mount. Spray just lightly and only the metal dish. It s important that you don t move the satellite dish at all and that you don t touch the low noise block converter or its supporting arm. Just clean the satellite dish gently of fallen leaves and debris.

It s very handy to have. The sizes of these nuts will vary but most are 1 2 for directv or 7 16 for dish network.
