There is nothing more frustrating than sitting down to watch your favourite television program and to find out that the signal is being disrupted due to continuous rain and bad weather conditions. Aerial signals are vulnerable to bad weather conditions. If you are using a satellite TV, you might face the problem of blocking pictures and sudden signal failure messages on your screen if the weather outside is not favourable. 

What can you do to stop this? Although the rain-fade problems cannot be avoided, you can take precautions to reduce the negative outcome for the same. Hire professionals to fix aerials in Horsham if you continue to face rain-fade problems for a long time. 

What is the rain-fade satellite problem?

Due to poor weather conditions during monsoon when the satellite TV signal goes off, the situation is termed as rain fade problem. For the TVs to get signals through the satellites, The signals need to pass through atmospheric conditions such as rain, ice and snow. Hence when the amount of rain is high, the signals cannot pass through the atmospheric layers and reach your TV. That is the time when you will find a poor signal message on your TV screen. In the case of satellite TVs, very high frequencies are used with tiny wavelengths, and hence the signals get more affected by rain than the Terrestrial TV services, which use a lower frequency. 

How to improve the satellite signal for TV during rain?

Out of the several methods available, you can avoid the issue of rain fade signals by improving or boosting the transmission power of your satellite signal. This helps to compensate for the loss in the signal strength. This approach, in technical terms, is known as uplink power control. Installing and applying power control will help monitor the signal’s translations during the reign. If the signal is being disturbed by rain, then NO2 power levels are automatically adjusted to compensate.

Site diversity is another simple method used to improve the signals during monsoon seasons. In this method, the satellite is connected to two or more surface-based stations simultaneously. Thus if the rain is interfering with the signal in one station, then the signal is sent to another so that the satellite signal is not disrupted.
