[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1066246, member: 369937"] Well I'm not in the UK but I have installed several dishes that were heated in the Lake Tahoe area, they keep the ice buildup to a minimum, they also sell heated LNB's. A cheaper way is to use a good high quality [U]black[/U] lawn/leaf bag big enough to fit over the dish and be closed up at the bottom, this will help shed the snow, anther thing to add to this is a low wattage drop light, you put the drop light inside the bag out of the way of the LNB. Also I used an external rated thermostat rated to handle the AC power and wattage needed to run the drop light. A plumbing supply house may also have pipe heating tap, these tapes may also have a thermostat as part of the setup, it will come on below freezing and go off above freezing. Pipe heating tape....[URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Easy-Heat-AHB-130-Heating-Cable/dp/B0000DGAJS[/URL] [/QUOTE]
