We have sat tv up there .. so angle for that not an issue unless sticky snow... There is a long handled broom (10ft) that works well.. The Starlink dish is a much lower degree yes.. I am thinking blower is better than melting .. So rig up a periodic air sweep so to speak.. Mechanics should be simple.. Just need to find an electric powered blower with force as good as my Stihl gas leaf blower .. that clears Anything almost :)

Loss of tv signal never seems to be gradual.. but rather binary .. Kind of like heart failure.. at 60% blockage you may not even be bothered by it.. then at 80%.. situation critical.. .. At a certain point it is just one flake too many .. time for the broom.. so if Elon's system is similar.. Maybe just a remote push button affair .. or a broom LOL

Snow definitely an issue though... Heavy storms.. would be enough floating flakes to compromise signal irrespective of clearing dish itself I figure... The price of solitude ... Check the weather and download some netflix to the laptop or cell ahead of time :)

after a time cellular or land transmission will catch up to the locale... nothing is forever.. the older we get the more we need realise that.. and we are in a time when that holds even more true than ever.. The 50s are gone :)
