Could be several things adding up. An older set of LNB at 0.6 or 0.8 dB that can be replaced with 0.5 dB, signal loss from cheap or old coax or connectors.

But the very best thing to solve the problem of rain fade - a bigger dish. The Dish 500 is like 20 inches, get a 30 inch dish or a 36 or 39 inch dish and the problem will go away.
