Has anyone tried this on satellite dishes? I have a problem with snow sticking on my two dishes and I want to eliminate the problem.

Sorry, no satellite dish and no snow here in our climate, but it does work well to repel the water off of our windshield. I have seen a product sold by home improvement stores (and probably here, too) that is designed to repel water and keep things dry on outdoor surfaces. It looks impressive, but I doubt it is "green".

We used it on a tiled counter top that is exposed to rain and sun, so can't help with the snow. However, the product leaves quite a rough surface on what you put it on, it can be scraped off if you're not careful, and it completely dulls the surface. I can see us having to scrape the counter completely down at some time in the future, not a job I'm looking forward to. Would I use the product again? No, they really need to work on this.

I have DISH satellite and it works like a charm. I assume since you need to set the azimuth, elevation and skew no matter what brand of satellite dish you own, this should work for any dish setup.

Late response, but it might help someone else. My 360 started losing satellites after being on for just a couple minutes. An external antenna fixed that problem nicely, only cost $11 from Amazon.

my dad placed a dinner plate on it and it fell off. I don't know how he did this. I've never had this problem. Maybe if you place large plates parallel to the drainage channels, it would help. I only use this for the incidental items that I don't want to put in the dishwasher.

I've heard others speaking of adding this to the blue stuff you find at service stations and they end up with an anti-freezing windshield washer with extra cleaning power. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let us know what you discover either way please.

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

I haven't tried one like that. We waited too long to get this and had to use it on 3+ feet of snow on our roof. We dragged away the snow from the top, about 9-12 inches at a time and it did the job.

It actually helps when you tip the snow out. I'm not an ergonomics expert , but it gives you a better grip when you turn the scoop upside down, or twist it sideway to get the snow from the scoop.I really like this product it has been a reliable and quick snow removal tool for several winters now.I see several others users agree ..good I like the company!

What it will do is improve your incoming tv signal quality. My experience is with digital cable signal and depending on the source of your incoming signal, digital or analog as in over the air tv signal. So if you have a cable feed for as your tv source it should improve your overall signal quality. It will not work with a satelite dish signal. Good luck!

My problem was white powdery substance on dishes, utensils, etc. Entire bottom, sides and back of dishwasher had white residue. Called appliance company and this product was recommended. Additionally, I was told to try liquid Cascade. This worked fabulously. The dishwasher and dishes are sparkling clean. I have not had a problem since using Glisten just one time. Long story short it cost $65.00 (no repairs needed) for this information. Hope this helps!

Absolutely!! I have two on the back side of my DirecTv dish and they work great. My house is at an altitude of 7,100 feet and we get serious snow. Recently, during a 48 hour blizzard I had a clear signal while many of my neighbors had no reception at all. I turn them on when it begins snowing and turn them off when it stops. This is my third winter using these heaters and I am most pleased with how well they work.

Like the other posters, I use a heavy duty (orange) outdoor extension cord and the dish and cord are on a covered porch and I have had no problems with it. A great product and we have had temps in the below 0 range and I do not have to worry about our outdoor cats having fresh (not frozen) water at all times.

I use it on the oil pan of my diesel pickup to aid cold starting. I have no idea why you would need to heat a satellite dish but I would think it would over heat in short order.

No. I do not have one and mine works just fine. Make sure you have the right degrees, elevation and asmyth for your area. If you have a smart phone, they have an app for this. I use "Dish Aline" and it works great for me. Hope this helps.

Bonnie, I'm sorry but we never have HEAVY snow here in Texas where I live. I have had one of the signal balls for about ten years....this is my second one, and the only problem I have had is "high winds" dislodge it once in a great while. My first one had to be replaced after many years because the Texas heat finally made the plastic break. I really love it though. I'm 86 years old and it saves me unnecessary trips out to the mailbox. Have a good weekend! Sue Milliron, Marlin, TX
