I am thinking of using two on my satellite dish. Looking to stick them on the back of the dish on both sides of the bracket. Will they be too hot?

Not as far as I can tell.I have actually crawled under my truck where I have one attached to the oil pan & could lay my hand on it without burning it.If it got too hot,it would be boiling the oil,but this pad works great.I am assuming the sat dish is metal as is mine,so it should be fine.

these peak at just under 300F when they are on. the dish itself is a sort of sheet steel meant to reflect radio waves back at the antena. the steel will glow red hot around 1000F. too hot for the material... maybe not, will it cause damage to electrical components or interfere with reception... i dont know

I honestly think one would do it. Get one of the bigger sizes and put it on the side that gets least amount of wind so the dish will heat up better.

I have the same dish. The heater works well. You will need to place the wires on the front of the dish rather than the back side.

No, I attempted this. My old dish mount only has about 2" of vertical on the j-shaped tube and it is about 2" outside diameter. I could rest the new antenna mast in the tube but it is loose, and with only 2" vertical to mount to, I'm going to remove the satelite dish mount and install a couple of regular mast mounts to the board.

Absolutely!! I have two on the back side of my DirecTv dish and they work great. My house is at an altitude of 7,100 feet and we get serious snow. Recently, during a 48 hour blizzard I had a clear signal while many of my neighbors had no reception at all. I turn them on when it begins snowing and turn them off when it stops. This is my third winter using these heaters and I am most pleased with how well they work.

They do get hot. We have one in a cabinet that I do not put anything on top of but one on an open shelf that I do stack on, both work fine. I would avoid stacking components on one in a closed cabinet with no ventilation. I don't know how hot is "too hot" but they do fine used this way for us.

This would not be a problem. These are made of tempered glass, like Pyrex, and can handle quick temperature changes, in my experience. Barring a particularly faulty bowl, this would not be an issue.

I could be mounted but I suspect the space between thermalpane glass would be a huge loss of signal to maybe no signal at all.......you will also see a few guys that have had the same problem as myself in trying to keep the antenna on the glass without falling off.....I tried 4 times, two different antennas and was eventually not successful ......I tried 3 different glues and scratch sanded the spot where the mount would be.......still no success....I don't know why there aren't more people having the same problem but the few I can see are a comfort to me.....With my past experience I would not take the chance on mounting this antenna on your RV....sorry bout that...............

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

I think I read that they would get too hot in this grille. Would probably just use it the way it came from the factory. It's a great little grille!

I bought one for a battery box that i built to work on a telescope. I've had mine on and working at about 20F. Wasn't out that long that night though.

This is a flat battery pad heater, designed to be placed under an automotive battery in a car. It appears you intend to use it for a purpose other than that for which it is intended. This heater pad was not designed to and will not lay flat on a convex surface like the back side of a satellite dish. I don't believe it will work as you envision. Also, since it has an electric current flowing through it, have you considered the possibility it will interfere with your dish's reception?

Nope, i would agree with the 45 degrees. I have a 70 incher and its about 30 degrees. Great mount though i will buy the same one when i get my other TV.

They are LEDs so you shouldn't have a problem. I didn't notice them getting all that hot. Granted, I haven't left them on for hours at a time and then tested.

Actually, we gave those dishes to our granddaughter. I believe they aare supposed to be safe in the microwave, but I have no idea if they get hot in the mw. They are really pretty, and we've not heard any complaints from her!

Not sure I would try that in that the unit gets warm to hot, and if the lenses were in contact with the metal container, might damage them. Also, I have had two of the units fail. Hard to tell unless you listen quite closely. Found out when my contacts started bothering me. Now use a different system.

I've got two of these I use. They work great. They can withstand high temperatures on the stove. That is not the issue. You must always remember to turn the stove on low and then slowly bring it up to desired temperature. Can't place these on a very hot burner. Will damage. Must start low and slow and then bring up. If you do that - they are great cooking vessels.

I've only used them to hang pottery plates/platters, some quite heavy. I have always used just one and had no problems. I think you will be fine with two disks.
