Yup. I got rid of Primestar back in the day because when a bad storm would wake us up in the middle of the night and we would turn on the Weather Channel to see what was happening; we wouldn't have a signal for all of the cloud cover. |

Broomall, PA | Well I still got Dish Network and it really takes a heavy downpour to make it go away. I got my Dish so well peaked using a spectrum analyzer from my work. |

i never had primestar but i have had dish and directv and i have never had it go our for more than a minute or 2 even during bad snow storms. maybe you had a bad install or something. and if all it took was a downpour of rain to block the signal there would no be so many subscibers to dish and directv. |
