My dish usually goes out right before a heavy thunderstorm, but only for a little while; then it comes right back on. And that's the only time it's ever gone out. My cable NEVER had a success rate like that.

I've seen midwestern thunderstorms that were horrible. With cable, it would knock it out for hours. With the dish, no more than 15 minutes, and that's even long. Satellitle will never ever be worse than cable in regards of interruptions and interferance...NEVER.

Well that must only happen in the Midwest, not on the Eastcoast
