Signal reliability of Dish Network?

I was put off when it rained Sunday at the bar I was at and we lost the game for 30 minutes. I won't go with it. I generally never disagree with buzd on technical matters and I have no agenda here. Just do some research on it. My wife refuses to let me get it cause it went down during Big Brother at her friends house when it started raining. It also left a bad taste in my mouth that the vultures at Sams Club swear that that issue has been fixed. I was very close to signing that day.
