Never had a dish. Never wanted one. Been in enough sports bars during rain or snow storms to know that I’m not interested
Satellite signals being susceptible to weather is a major drawback for sure......or obstructions like trees and buildings for that matter.
When I had directv I installed an HD antenna in my attic just for that reason....at least I could get over air channels when the signal went out.
That led me to noticing the over air signal was actually a sharper clearer picture than the expensive directv signal (i suspectthe coax cable was the weak link)......wasn’t long after I took the dish off my roof.
