Has anyone used this on satellite dishes and does it in fact prevent snow from accumulating on the dish?

It did not work for me last winter. Before this winter I used a water repellent like Rain X and that has seemed to work better. The Snow and Ice repellent is good for shovels. I also spray it in the wheel wells of my car to keep slush from building up. If you do this be careful not to spray the repellents on your tires as it could make them slippery. Also, you can get this product at a lower price at Lowe's. Hope this helps.

I live in the south so I don't know about snow. I used this product for the first time this year as a barrier around a 12"x12" garden. I reapply after a heavy rain or about every 3 weeks. I live in an area with significant deer and so far my summer and winter garden appear protected.

I haven't used it yet. I got it to use for catching melting snow in my garage and didn't have any snow after I received it. Ill have to wait til next winter to try it out. Sorry

As I bought mine a few weeks ago, I don't have a full winter's use of it, yet. We've had very cold weather and relatively lots of snow in southern New Jersey. It's done the job. I put a water-resistant cover where the heater's plug connects with the extension cord. The less expensive deicers I've had in the past haven't lasted more than 2 winters, but this one seems much sturdier.

I have used the RAM mount is below freezing weather and I have not had any problems. The suctioncups have not had any problems in freezing weather, go for it!

Some Dish satellite receivers have a hard disk drive in them. These drives remain powered up even though the unit is turned "off". The unit also is receiving software updates when turned off. Most likely this device should not be your control.

It does a pretty good job of protecting the car from rain, dust, and the sun. I don't know about snow in Texas. I didn't have it for long. I sold the car and the cover went with it.

I used it for the winter in Wisconsin, during our many freeze-thaw cycles. I bought it to keep pooling melt water from going down the space between my driveway and house. It has worked well for one season so far.

In case anyone else sees this and is wondering about it withstanding elements - I used this last winter. I regularly heated up water in a tea kettle and poured it over the ramp surface to melt snow and ice. Worked beautifully without causing any damage.

I use the Bump Tek. I purchased this item toward the end of winter. The purpose was my old license plate protector broke due to the snow. I really like this protector.

The digital magic sensor just needs to be plugged in once the dish and wiring are installed. I find it reads about 5 degrees over where the satellites are but it is consistent so easily compensated for. I installed about 2 weeks ago and have not spent more than 2 minutes finding the satellites since. I've set up in 5 different locations in Atlantic Canada. Overall instructions arenot great for install, but it really wasn't hard. Took me 3 hours start to finish with no previous experience.

Yes. It has all the same requirements as a normal dish. This device just makes it MUCH easier to lock on to the satellite.

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

I did not have a problem with it, where I live I do not have a pile of snow accumulation on it, more ice and frost. It is a pain when it is windy if you put on by yourself. but once you get it on it works great. Least I do not have to scrap my windshield every morning.

It will stay on no problem. It uses a vacuum to stay on once you put a filter on. Look up Mitch Bergsma on YouTube to see more about the vacuum seal created. Plus I've used it snowboarding with zero issues.

IT DOES! We live in a river valley and just mounted ours where a Dish receiver had been, but we still get all the PBS Stations & Sister Stations in Oklahoma. I hope you can locate any glitch and receive yours!

It works fine on vertical surfaces. The snow and ice slide off my satellite dish and my snow plow blade. I don't know where you intend to apply it on the wood. I doubt it would prevent accumulation on horizontal planes. The snow would just pile up.
