I would like to say that something In regards to this issue of Rain Fade. I
live in new England and I have had Satellite service through BMI since 1985.
This problem of Rain Fade did not occur until the satellite malfunctioned
this year and BMI then switched to a weaker satellite. I can't fault BMI
for the satellite malfunction but it would be nice if they found a stronger
bird. DTN claims that the satellite that they use is much stronger. Because
I never experienced this problem in the past I can safely assume that if and
when Trade Station accepts DTN's format or if BMI changes to a stronger
satellite this problem will no longer exsist for me. I am now on Cable
for my BMI data but I would prefer satellite without Rain Fade.
So my point is this.I think that the signal strength of the satellite is a
factor that is not being looked at in this issue.
Regards,
Tom..

Contrary to your statements, rain fade IS a problem in the southern US
where I live regardless of the dish size or LNB I'll second that, I have
problems in heavy rain too. The signal fades with high altitude down pours
or as we say here in LA, gulley washers. The alignment is dead center and
the lnb is centered focus. I just use my internet backup during these times.
Like everything else technology has not fully arrived down here in the
south. Go figure Mother Nature.
