Have they fixed the problem with loosing the feed from satilite every time it rains? I had Dish Network about 10 yrs. ago and I would loose the feed every time it got cloudy. So I went back to cable. Also I find it a lot more cheaper than the dish. On some things the dish was great until you lost the feed. Also you do not get real satilite feed on the dish at least we didn't then we had to mount an outside antena to recieve local tv.

very outdated, i have had directtv since the week after Katrina. my sat goes out less than my cable did. In fact with a generator, i watched sat tv the entire time during Gustov. I get all the local channels (other than CST as it is cox owned) and i think it is cheaper than cable. the biggest advantage is the sports coverage, like the masters this weekend. DTV has 7-9 channels that will be the tour only in HD. 1 for the leader, 1 for amen corner, 1 for hole 1, one for hole18 1 for cbs coverage etc....they do the same for all 4 tennis majors, and the olympics. NFL sunday ticket is unchallanged as a must for any fan of pro football.
