I believe you will. I had DirecTV for about 8 years, and virtually all electrical storms will negatively effect your signal, to the point of being unable to watch TV. Heavy snow and rain, likewise. I

We have DirecTV now. We had Dish. Between the two we had Comcast. Comcast was easily the worst in terms of signal delivery--constant pixellation, dropped signal, etc. For all the crap cable companies

I think you're supposed to qualify the question by claiming the TV is in your shop ;) I've had Dish for 9 years and been pretty happy with it. Decent customer service (people that speak English and a

Neat. I'm in western North Carolina on a 40 degree or so slope with major tree cover. The dish is actually on a 100 foot coax run across one neighbor's yard, into the second, where it's a cleared hor

The first thing installers say when they get to the house is, "Yeah, this isn't going to work." But it's never been a problem. One of the Comcast guys (on one of their dozens of trips to the house) e

I installed the TV dish myself, twice, and it was mounted and aligned as well as it could be. The bracket was originally lag-bolted through cedar siding into the studs on the corner of my house, unde

I've had Directv for years now and I LOVE it. There is no way I'll switch back to cable. As for Dish vs Directv, Dish seems cheaper, but I'm not sure what the difference is. I believe they offer less

The results really weren't very different. The internet signal was slightly more reliable, but the huge majority of the time, they were either both out, or both on. I did have to build a ~15' brush t
