Is it true that heavy rain affects traditional satellite TV signals?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources report that rain causes attenuation of satellite signals, particularly in Ku and Ka bands, which can make signals unavailable. However, these sources address satellite communication links generally rather than traditional satellite TV reception specifically, so they support the underlying mechanism only in part.
