No real reason for that question really, i'm just curious.
i always wondered that myself but heard such an array of different answers i came to conclusion that there must be a number of different reasons from electro magnetic interference during thunder storms to ice on the dish in winter .I do know that putting a plastic bag over the dish does not work as was suggested to me
