Never had a dish, but it is my understanding that you can beat the weather fade with a plexiglass box around the dish. IIRC, it is water on the dish, not in the air, that causes the fade - the dish is supposed to focus the reflected signal at the antenna and the water scatters it.
Aybody have any real experience with this fix? We'll be doing something after the move, and I think I might like to try the satellite thingy
