I've only had Activ8me for a bit over a month now, but yesterday with shade temperatures over 44c the system kept losing contact with the satellite.

Not surprising when you think that the dish is designed to focus on the LNB. And once a day the sun is almost directly in front of the dish.

Addition:
I've been thinking that if this becomes a problem I might make a 70% shade cloth sock for it.
