Rain Fade

What is "Rain Fade"?

If you have satellite TV you have certainly experienced "Rain Fade";  you're relaxing, watching television, when outside your window an ominous shadow falls over your house. Rain begins to lightly tap on your windows before turning into a torrential downpour. Suddenly the picture on your television begins to scramble to the point of being unwatchable, (usually at the precice moment of expectation in a movie).  This is called "rain fade".

Rain fade occurs when the satellite signal is disrupted by droplets of rain, snow, fog or even heavy cloud cover. While this is only a temporary condition, it seems to occur in the most inopportune times - while you are watching your favorite show or downloading important files. Because of rain fade, satellite has been considered disadvantageous to cable for television or the internet. But what about when cable or DSL is not an option?
