Dish Peak Methods


Several of my dish es will drop programming with even a 2-3" of snow on them. This seems premature as I know of other systems in this area where it takes 12"+ to create any issues.

Where are some specifics;
9' and 12' dish(s)
each dish is only going into a -8db drop splitter to receivers
18V LMBs
location is Colorado

With only a std signal meter is there a method to peak these dishes to make sure that is not the issue and what would I be looking for from a receiver to help peak them?

Are there dish/LMB amplifiers that might help?

Any insight on how to peak a dish is done without special equipment or what I might need to do to lessen the affect that light snow makes on the reception before I have to go out to sweep? i.e using a receivers sig/bar reading,....

I get high winds and I would like to be able to peak these as I need to without spening cash on outsourcing.
