The Mainland TV suffers picture breakups at times due to heavy rain over Mt Arthur affecting DW and 5 G phones driving past our main 4 metre dish on Waimea Road Nelson.

DW broadcasts on Asiasat 7 satellite at 105.5 Deg which is over the Indian Ocean.

It is only about 2.8 degrees above our horizon so when ever there are heavy rain clouds over the Mt Arthur area the satellite signal is attenuated and the signal breaks up.
