1. Why do I need a Dish Coat?

For better performance and longer life. There are many weather and environmental conditions that can reduce picture quality or even cause total picture loss for extended periods. Without a cover, water (rain, snow & ice) may build up on the surface of the dish and LNB lens, deflecting the signal and reducing picture quality. The weight of ice and snow can also shift the dish's alignment, severely reducing picture quality.

The heat of the sun and ultraviolet rays cause two problems. First, the build-up of heat at the LNB: this produces unwanted 'noise' or picture loss. Second, heat and UV rays can also accelerate the breakdown of electronic and plastic components. Debris such as blowing sand, leaves, dirt, bird and other animal droppings can also accumulate on an uncovered dish, causing signal loss.

 All of these weather and environmental conditions can also reduce the lifespan of critical DSS components. A specially designed and manufactured dish cover -- like the DISH COAT helps you keep your picture and protects your investment as well.

 2. Will the dish coat block my signal?

The Dish Coat uses a material specifically designed to be a satellite dish cover. With this material -- JATEX (TM), the signal passes through  unaffected, with virtually no signal loss, while maintaining picture quality.

3. Can the Dish Coat prevent cloud cover?

The Dish Coat cannot prevent Cloud Cover; this is when the clouds are so thick and dense with water that the signal cant get through.  Luckily, Cloud Cover is the smaller portion of the problem.  Most of the time, you lose your picture due to a water build up on the dish and LNB.

4. I have a metal dish. Why does it need protection?

Most of today's DSS systems feature metal dishes with some       electronic components made from plastics. Any exposure to salt spray or hail can cause corrosion of your dish. The Dish Coat is designed to withstand the brutal force of wind-driven ice, hail and other adverse weather conditions.

 5. I have a plastic/fiberglass dish. Why does it need protection?

Some of todays High Definition and Internet systems feature plastic or fiberglass dishes.  Unlike metal dishes, they are not subject to corrosion, but they are subject to damage and/or breakdown due to UV rays.  Plastic dishes generally have a bumpy or rough surface, which actually seems to collect more snow than a smooth, metal dish.

6. What sizes of satellite dish does the cover fit?

The Dish Coat satellite dish cover fits all dish sizes ranging from 18 inch to 1.8 meter dishes.  Our product is produced specifically to cover standard sizes: 18", 24", 30", 36", 1.2m and 1.8m.   Should you require a larger or custom fit cover, please contact us to discuss in greater detail.

7. Why should I choose a Dish Coat digital satellite cover?

The Dish Coat is made from JATEX, which unites a unique combination of flexibility (allowing for an aerodynamic skin-tight fit) and tough-tested durability to withstand the incredibly varied North American climate.
