One of the main problem, or I should instead describe it as ‘a problem that is assumed to be big by the potential DTH buyers’ is the disturbance of signal on rainy days. This quick bit post explains how that is actually not a thing to worry about.
Yes, there ‘may’ be a hindrance to the signal during rains but that may only be for a few minutes. The reason for this, as seen in Wikipedia, is that the rain drops (or water in general) are good absorbers of Microwaves and this phenomenon is called ‘Rain fade’.
Today’s Satellite Dishes are intelligent enough to overcome those obstacles by using various techniques so that the interference to the signal doesn’t last for more than few minutes. In rare cases, if you frequently experience this issue, you may need to call the customer service agents who will eventually shift the dish to a better place that has a higher ‘Look angle’.
The technology is there to counter the ‘rain fade’. ‘SKY’ in Britain is so popular even though rains and thick clouds are almost certain on most days.
