chessie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We have been having odd problems with TV reception - odd break-up of pix from time to time.The OH has decided - because it's affecting the cricket coverage - 'that something must be done...'At the moment OH is on top of ladder, with a bucket full of soapy warm water in one hand, and a sponge in the other - vigorously washing the sahara dust and winter dust from the satellite dish.In the words of a famous sit-com - I'm wondering - 'Do you think that's wise, Captain Mainwairing...?' Tell me OH isn't going to cause more problems with tv reception...... or should the dish be left well enough alone - not touched.... Must admit it looks funny though; one of my comments - 'won't grow any bigger by washing it you know' - has not gone down at all well. Must remember to keep to my study this evening I think !!!!Chessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If, and I stress if, your problems are due to moisture getting into the LNB or the cable, then washing up liquid should "fix" it just fine. By adding a surfactant (washing up liquid) it will ease the ingress of water enormously and the odd break up could even become permanent. I hope I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not to mention what the washing up liquid will do to the copper conductors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
