Anyone with DISH Network have problems on days like today...windy

rainy, snowy, etc ? Every time we have any of those conditions I lose the picture. Usually it's on Sunday when football is on

The only time I've lost signal so far, was the first snow back at the beginning of October...heavy wet stuff. Subsequent snows have caused no problems. The dish was completely coated with snow during the last storm and the signal was fine. Never had a problem during rain.

or possible tree branches blowing into the line of sight for the dish

to have good luck. I would say in 6.5 yrs we have lost signal a total 4 days due to weather, even during the blizzard of '03, we were only down for a couple of hours. But the wife was home with me................................
