I’m glad this thread is here. I am one that loves my DIRECTV, I started with Dish about 17 years ago and moved to DTV about 10 years ago. I’ve heard of rain fade but never experienced it. We average about one thunderstorm every two years in Seattle so that’s not an issue either. Over the years I’ve become very comfortable with their DVR. I rarely watch a show live, always watch a program after it’s recorded. I like to fast forward thru commercials.

FL seems to be a different animal when it comes to Satellite TV. The signal would be lost in heavy rain and when a thunderstorm is overhead. Looks like cable is the only way to go for uninterrupted service. I will miss DTV but I’m sure centurylink has a fine DVR. Right?
