Would snow cause totally missing recordings?
Both week 10 Apprentice and also You're Fired series recordings are missing. Not failed, totally missing. They are recorded on different days. No being able to think of an obvious reason I wonder what would happen if there was no signal due to heavy snow. Would that give a failed to record "unknown reason" (everybody's favourite message

I believe Yes if there was no signal at the scheduled start time.
You only get a failed recording if something interferes 1/2 way through. I lost channels 135 upwards briefly yesterday in the densest of blizzards, (cured by knocking a little snow off the LNB which upped the signal enough to restore them). However, my lower channels were all perfect. I've said this on here many times before, best way to achieve weather resistance is a good LNB and a LARGE dish. The larger the dish, the better it is at pulling in weak signals. I'm on 85cm BTW (in Yorkshire). I'm currently on a clear dish but think next time I might switchover to a Orbital Aluminium dish as I've heard these may have the highest gain of any dish on the market ( available in 80cm & 1m). |

Only the "wrong" type of snow
