How bad the weather affects your reception is also based of how well your dish is aimed in the first place. See what kind of signal strength you get on a clear night. If it is already weak it doesnt take much rain or snow to cause problems.AVR: Onkyo Tx-NR808

I've been on DirecTV for many years, basically since 1080HD started. What I've noticed: 1.) Resolution is excellent. Sorry cable. Have not seen a cable feed to date that can match resolution on every channel. Have not seen Uverse on a good TV. 2.) My reception goes out maybe 2-3 times a year for about 3-5 minutes. When I had cable during every severe store, reception was lost for 20 min - 1hour. Whole house DVR is awesome. You do have to record the show on a non DVR receiver to pause and rewind. For $30, I bought their wireless connection kit. I can stream videos and music from my computer to all receivers in my house. Can you say music in every room and outside for $30. This is a very nice feature. Why'll no service is cheap. I pick them for picture quality period!_____________________________________________________________________________________________
