re: Just ditched Cox for Directv and I feel free.

You'll feel even better when you drop cable completely

If your signal went out every time it rained then something was wrong with your set up. We only lost signal when a STORM was directly over our house. As soon as the storm passed it was working again. A normal rain shower would never cut out the signal, nor would clouds or anything else in the sky. It has to be a pretty bad storm.

And I 2nd what someone else said, you will feel even better dropping cable all together. We did it about 2 years ago and do not miss it at all.

See if it needs to update. Mine automatically updates all of the boxes, normally between 2 and 5am, maybe once every 6 months
