Yesterday I got a good taste of what satellite reception is like during a heavy rain storm. We were down at Beef O'Brady's in Colony Plaza watching the usual Sunday football matches when a heavy rain came. All 15 or so of their TV monitors went blank because of the loss of the satellite signal. It took the better part of five minutes for the satellite signal to be reacquired so that we could continue watching the games. Needless to say, we missed a key play or two during this outage. There may be some advantage of satellite over cable but reliability isn't one of them. Contrary to what some posts say, satellite signals DO drop out during bad weather.
