If a snowstorm can get your Satelite down, then it was already flying
_way_ to low. You should adjust the orbit to a higher altitude - it
also reduces the trasportation costs, siche you don't need to bring
up a new one two or three times a year, but it rather says for 5 and
more years !

Serius, you realy must live way outside civilisation to go thru this
effort to get TV !
