Pros & Cons
Pros
Unlike the mat, it is very simple to install and plugs into a marked and dedicated sae connector-type plug on the heater mat. Just 4 bolts and the dish is easily removed.
If your tired of brushing the snow off your dish buy this. No more running out in the cold to brush off the snow every hour or so.
The photo is the proof. Second, is aesthetics. A big load off my mind for the future.
It is awesome! This works great and completely solved my problem. All in all, i'm very pleased with the way this all works.
Cons
Directv hd dish heater is non-functional. No on/off switch or indicator light when the unit is heating. Appears to be a thermostat problem.

It worked great for about three years melting the snow and ice in no time really not letting it accumulate in the first place
Despite the fluffy nature of the snow it caused the signal to drop enough where i lost reception
Price
I decided my health and safety were worth the price of this dish heater
2nd best money i ever spent behind my snow blower
Hands down the best 130 bucks i ever spent
I switch the transformer on only when it is snowing so as to save 145 watts per hour on the utility bill 0
Shipping
Order and installation were quick and easy
Called satellite oasis and they immediately shipped a new one along with a paid return shipping label
I was then pleasantly surprised when they did if fact ship another warmer to me
They commented that it was extremely rare that the element was bad because they are tested before being shipped
Packaging/appearance
The heating element is packed up in its box such that its folded over a couple of times

Prior to installing the hotshot satellite dish heater i would have to frequently clear snow off the satellite dish especially if it is wet heavy snow

Was a simple install just 2 bolts and the dish part comes off and no need to get realigned or anything like that
