Signal reliability of Dish Network?

whodatfever said

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.

I had problems with rain fade for a long time. I thought that's just the way it was. Everybody kept saying that the newer HD dishes drastically reduced the problem, but it happened to me frequently.

It was quite frustrating.

I called them out and the realigned my dish. They put a metal strap on it to keep it from shifting. Since then, it rarely, rarely goes out. To the extent that it's not even worth worrying about it, even during football season.

Factoring in how superior it is to Cox otherwise, it's an easy decision.
