What a downgrade dude ! LOL . I just love when a storm runs through my area and I lose my TV service for hours at a time . Screw DirecTV and DishN . LOL . I'm hopefully moving to an area with FiOS.

No, Fios just pushes faulty firmware upgrades that knocks out all your guides and features of all your receivers for a couple of weeks. Nothing like rebooting 6 receivers on a daily basis. Not laughing here.

I have Dish Network, and I've heard about this over and over and I've found it's INCREDIBLY RARE and only during super bad storms AND it lasts only a few minutes, tops.

I've heard of people talking about it going out at the drop of the hat and staying out for hours or most the night. Frankly, at least with Dish Network (I haven't tried DirecTV) it's not accurate. I wonder if a lot of these people suffer from poorly aligned dishes and low signal strength to begin with.
