The biggest complaint I see posted on here is about twice a year you might lose reception during a heavy downpour for ten minutes or so. You have two options, most people aren't aware of this. The easiest is to put on a recorded program on your DVR, I have about 80 movies right now, or switch to the backup channel, the SD Standard Definition. Let's say you're watching TNTHD on Channel 245, bring up the on-screen guide, then select all channels and the channels that you have hidden will reappear. Chose channel 245 that doesn't have the HD after it, and you'll get a slightly less clear version of the channel 99% of the time.

Agree 100%. Also, the new customer deals are great!
