I dropped cable many years ago and have four DirecTv boxes in the house so I can record multiple things at the same time and watch different channels in different rooms. Channel lineup is important to me. My favorite channel, Tech TV (with The Screen Savers show), is only available on DirecTv in Indianapolis.
A heavy, wet snow will sometimes pack in the dish and I have to sweep it out. A heavy thunderstorm can sometimes black the signal out for a few minutes. The picture is typically better than cable. The DVR version required a dual-LNB dish and two cables routed from the dish to the box. Enjoy!
