When I had DirecTV, outages were daily during rainy season - at least 30-50 times per year. Even if it's only a few minutes, it sucks when you recorded a game, and then the picture is out on the recording for minutes at a time.

NFL Sunday Ticket is about to move off of DirecTV within the next year, but I've found other ways to watch all the games I want at home.
You probably had a weak signal, maybe the dish was not aligned properly? Did you ever get it checked? A weak signal would reduce your margin for signal loss so a minor storm would knock you out when it shouldn’t have.
