I don’t get it. I have Direct tv too, I live in da UP and we have 175” of snow so far. I hardly ever have any problems with getting programs in. The only time they get messed up is if the snow piles up on the dish. Course the wind blows here all the time. And it’s so cold the snows light and fluffy most of the time.

I’ve never had snow build up on my sdish. But occasionallywhen the most intense part of a storm is directly between my dish and the sat...I’ll get signal fade, but it doesn’t happen that much, or usually for very long.
But with this particular storm, moving in line, I expect that the worst part ofg it is no just going to be a quick poke throug, but more like beig on one side of a passing train, and the sat on the other, and this storm is several states long.

So far the only thing that has knocked out my DirecTV is a heavy wet snow that formed ice on the dish. Once we knocked that off, and reset the receiver, it worked again.
