Been having the same problem but more just snow building up on the dish and then losing reception.

Luckily our dish is attached to the fence so easy to fix.

That is some icicle Mike!

My neigbour has his priorities right:

Best part was when he whacked it with the brush, a whole load of snow landed on him. I didn't laugh, honest........

funnily enough ................... my sky stopped too, figured it was just bad weather and left it at that.

It was only when my bird took some photo's of the zed outside in snow ........ looking at the photo's I noticed the sky dish was missing .... :D
An avalanche of snow off the roof must have taken it out lol, was buried under about 3 feet of snow.
Not much point getting them out till it stops snowing ........ :D
