said by Snakeoil:I have read this all to often "I'm dropping satellite TV, because heavy loud cover knocks it".
Nonsense. Around here we have heavy cloud cover 8-9 months out of the year, and it never affects satellite TV.
Anyone whose SatTV reception is affected by cloud cover has a poorly aimed dish or some other installation problem (wrong cable, cable too long, etc.). They need to get someone who knows what they are doing to do the installation.
