I just got Directv for a couple weeks now. It stormed pretty good out a couple days ago and I lost the signal about 10 times in a half hour. I could understand it going out during the heavy heavy rain but it even went out when it wasn't raining and the sun was out. I called up Directv to ask them if this was normal because I was told the only time I would lose my signal is if it was a big storm or heavy snow. The lady told me that if its raining hard, even a couple counties over that I still could lose my signal?? Outside of that day, I have been very happy. Although, it hasn't rained since so I haven't had anything else to compare it to.
