Summer is here, and it can cause potential reception issue with your satellite TV reception. In fact it can also cause reception issue with your digital Spanish TV channels also, as shown by problems from last year.
Reception of UK TV by satellite is already tricky. Many UK TV channels require a "big" satellite dish, like the 2.4m Famaval satellite dishes from Portugal, as the signals that carry these UK TV channels are very weak.
An increase in heat and humidity can cause a drop in reception, as the signal is weakened by the humidity in the air.
This had a great affect on Spanish digital terrestrial TV last summer (2010). Many areas had a reduction in reception of their channels due to the heat, so many areas had to have repeater stations installed, and that relayed signals from the main mast to areas affected.
Unfortunately this "repeater" process cannot be done with UK satellite TV, and it may be a case whereby you may have to live with a early drop in signal reception and loss of channel in the hot summer....
But then, there are so many other things to go out and do in Spain on a hot summer night rather than watching Eastenders isn’t there...?
