Snow stuck/frozen onto sat. dish.
Has anyone ever tried any spray that would keep snow from sticking /freezing onto their satellite dish?

Seems like a good idea. But for now it's a broom tied to the end of a pipe for me.

There are silicon sprays we use for antennas. You can use hard shell wax( may to cold to apply right now) I have used that on my non-heated mirrors for ice and water spray.
Problem you may need to warm the dish before you can apply anything. You can also wash the dish. Dirt and grime will give snow/ice something to grip. Remove the dirt and then apply a coating.
Good luck..
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

When it's snowy,spray it with a light coat of WD40. I found it works OK most of the time except in freezing rain. Really,that's the downside of a satellite dish. They're useless in crappy weather.

I use SC1 on my snowblower and nothing sticks to it.
Never needed it on my dish, but that is what I would use if needed.
Its what we use on ATVs to keep the mud from sticking inside fender wells.

Before I got rid of it in favor of an indoor antenna I considered simply attaching a magnetic block engine heater in the 200 watt range on the back side of the dish and plugged into a long extension cord. Simply plug into an outlet a few times in the winter as the weather dictates.
This one goes on sale once in a while at Princess Auto.

Did say you are trying to keep snow off it or cook on it.
