Snow issues with Dish? All you need to do is check your signal strength and aim your dish a bit better. In fact, DISH has much fewer digital freeze issues than Clunker TV. (Direct)
If you had snow, chances are your dish was moved a bit off signal or the installer did a crappy job. You can quickly fix that yourself with the built in signal aimer that Dish provides.
It could have been a crappy install but it was tight. All I know is when ever we had high winds we'd either lose signal or have snow issues. Once the wind stopped it would be fine.
That being said I'm happy as a lark with Direct.
