[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1113543, member: 176704"] Something mounted above the LNB, [I][U]but with air/ventilation space between the t[I]wo,[/I][/U][/I] and not intruding into the signal reflected by the dish - and preferably coloured/painted white to reflect the sunlight, whereas as a normal black-bodied LNB will tend to adsorb sunlight and so will heat up (causing the problems mentioned above). Also sometimes referred to as rain covers as they can be used to prevent rain etc., collecting on the cover over the front of the LNB. People have used various things like plastic bottles/yogurt cartons with holes cut in them - personally, I'm going to try to use a short section of uPVC rain water guttering, but I'll have to make up some metal brackets (from strips of aluminium) to attach the cover to the feedarm, just below the LNB, because the sunshield needs to be firmly attached or else it might be blown off by strong winds.
