I have the HD dish and when it rains heavly I lose the HD picture (has happened 2-3 times) but can switch to the none HD which will come in. Overall pretty good experience with it.

jimmy: the dish is on the eastern edge of my roof, pointing south, obviously. like tallguy above says, when it rains real hard (like straight down but heavy, the picture starts to “pixilate” and then I get the “searching for signal” screen until the heavy rain ends.

As I am buying a new Sony big screen, I am upgrading to the HD receiver/dish. I’ll make sure I tell the installer about the problems i’ve had w/ this one and see if it was the original install.

If it’s a decent rain, you lose reception, period. Anyone that says otherwise is smoking crack. The only good thing about the exceptional drought NC had was that I didn’t have to worry about losing reception. Plus I had to pay extra for local channels even though I quoted their national ad back to them. Direct TV is not god’s gift to television. Now I have cable, and while it’s not great, it’s cheaper(bundling is your friend), I never have reception issues, and I can use my computer as a DVR.

@ jpq1999:

i live across the state from you, st. petersburg. we have these little things called thunderstorms daily during the summer. i rarely have a problem. and i do mean rarely.

might want to check the installation. from experience and talk to others, if you are having a lot of disruptions, you likely either have a bad installation or the dish is not protected (i.e. on top of a roof instead of along a wall).

Although it is an impossible task, I would try to have one of their installers come out to take a look at the set-up. Also, ask for one of their more experienced installers. I live in a windy place in Utah and watched a ton of football last winter while it was snowing like crazy and did not have one problem.

is there something specific to tell them to look for or do they just come out and see if it is hooked up right. i did have a problem about a month ago with espn and espn 2 not coming in on only the HD channels…guy came out did a little work and boom, all good.

I remember in season 1, it was a toss up between Minka Kelly (Lyla) and the girl who plays Tyra for hottest on the show. Now, not only is Lyla by far the hottest, Coach Taylor’s daughter might have passed Tyra for second. I never saw this coming.
