It rained really hard the other day and there was about a 5 second interruption in picture quality.I've had Direct TV since 1999 and they've come along way with weather interruptions.We also use cell phones (Verizon) and have no need for a landline except for internet.We have Century Link DSL ..they ran a phone line to my computer and we haven't had any problems.We go north for 4 months a year and both Direct Tv + Century link are very accommadating.Century link allows us to put our service on vacation mode for a minimal fee and Direct Tv service continues when we go north.We just call and tell them where we're located so they can send the local channels to our boxes.

Once again Congratulations and Enjoy!!
Thanks Bosoxfan.... We can't wait to get to TV! We're dreaming of a GREEN Christmas.

Good info on DirecTV...thanks. the weather issue just makes me a little nervous, but it sounds like it isn't such a big issue any longer...

We do a lot of video streaming... I'll look to see what type of service (bandwidth) Century Link provides...

Thanks again....
