This
HotShot Heater Kit was originally designed for the original 18" round
satellite dish systems, The HotShot element itself is approx. 16" tall x
17" wide. ( Spec Sheet , Installation Instructions )
The
HotShot 18" Heater Kit will keep snow and ice from collecting on your
dish and can also reduce rain fade by up to 75%. Hot Shot heater kits
are the preferred heating system of most satellite television installers
as they can be powered over an existing spare coaxial cable run. Simply
peel-n-stick the Hot Shot element to the front or back of your dish
(depending upon the application). Mount the transformer in a dry
environment next to a 110v electrical outlet. Run the included 100' of
low-voltage cable to the element on your dish and attach accordingly.
Plug in the transformer and your dish will be protected from snow and
ice buildup via the thermostatically controlled heating element.

The HotShot brand of satellite dish antenna heaters and heating systems have been around a long, long time. The first heaters went on the back of the dish during assembly, but the new models are built to just stick on the front of the dish, making post-installation installations simple and easy.
The HotShot is preferred by professional installers for residential and commercial installations to provide reliable and dependable satellite television service even in the worst of conditions. The Hot Shot will keep snow and ice from collecting on the dish, and optional arm and feed horn elements can be added on to the existing Hot Shot face element to prevent snow and ice buildup on the arm and feed horn of the dish as well if necessary!
The HotShot element is powered by 24v DC, so you can actually use a spare coaxial cable run to the dish to power the heating element. When we install the Hot Shots, we usually solder and shrink-wrap a 6" chunk or so of the included low voltage cord onto the coaxial cable center conductor and shielding on each end to enable us to connect the cable to the transformer and to the element. This prevents having another wire running up to or out to your dish, and allows us to mount the transformer in a utility room, garage, etc. or wherever the spare coaxial cable is hanging!
