So THIS is why satellite has so many critics.

It's a beautiful day, barely a cloud in the sky, very light winds, and my signal is coming in and out

I checked the dish and there is no debris or anything so maybe it's a solar storm or something like that

Oh! It appears to be back up again

I hope that we don't continue to have problems. Digital cable would cost us sooooo much more and regular cable only has about 16 channels

We have only lost our satellite like once in a blue moon- ... I mean almost NEVER!

YUP! That is why we got rid of ours, that and the two million channels we never watched! and of course the local channels we couldnt get!

thankfully we were able to get our local channels and a channel package that we REALLY like

It's working fine now so I'm hoping that this will be our once in a blue moon experience!

What kind of satellite service do you have?

We have DirecTV and it is wonderful. I have never had so much as fuzz on the screen. We just had an snow and ice storm and the reception was perfect the whole time. and they are cheaper than digital. At least in this area it is.

I have DirecTV too, and can count on one hand the times I've lost signal in 6 and a half years. Usually during very heavy rainstorms; snow doesn't usually bother it.

We have directTV as well- we get local channels and everything else.
