Any body ever use one of these things? And do they work? I was in the middle of watching a game and first only that channel went out and about 5 minutes after they're all out.
It's a little snowy and rainy over here, last huge snowstorm nothing went out all night.
Anybody have the score of the Laker and spurs game?
Nevermind - got sportsline up - what about the shields?

also,

although all I can find is alot of places that sell them

there is a company called Hot Shot, that makes an actual heater that sticks to your dish. It has sensors built in to turn it on

it's AWESOME...albeit more than any dish!

Thanks for the info - do they make that much of a difference? I'm assuming the worse the weather the less the protection?

When I saw the header for this post, all I could think of is some movie where a bunch of geeks were sitting around with aluminum foil cones on their heads....

Not something that there is a great demand for here in Sunny AZ....
