Why bad weather can affect your TV viewing

If the wind is howling a gale outside or there’s heavy snow and your TV reception isplaying up then there’s a good chance that the two are connected. Bad weather such asgale-force winds, heavy snow and even heavy rain can sometimes disrupt your TVservices when they are being delivered through satellite.

In extreme weather conditions, the elements can actually physically damage your satellitedish and it can certainly disrupt your satellite signal. Heavy snow conditions can alsocause large build-ups of snow on your dish which can result in the satellite dish becomingmisaligned and you losing your signal altogether.
