@thebaldgeek I am betting you got a PLL #cband #LNB and it is sensitive to the cold. This has been a problem with these LNB's for a long time, as you can see from this article from 2016:

Are phase-locked loop (PLL) LNB’s a good idea?

(Note the last EDIT down near the bottom of the article).

I don't know how cold it gets where you are but I suspect you are going to have issues during any cold weather event. In theory you could attach some kind of heating element, like a small reptile tank heater (make sure it's waterproof) and turn it on a few minutes before you want to watch TV but IMHO those things are just poorly designed, even if they are being marketed as a solution for 5G interference.

Glad to say that we got a good result from the heated #LNB
overnight. No drop in the data rate with the cooler overnight temperatures.
I will run it for another 2 nights with the rough bubble wrap over the telescope heater band. If it works each night, then I know I found the root issue and can make a better cover and put a temperature sensor in there and automate the control side.

This, I think, is a great example of why this stuff is so fun, you just never know what's going to come at you!
