We have had DirecTV for several years in VA and chose to have it here in TV. Ours is roof mounted and there is no issue with pic due to wind. When we have storms like Debby yes lost reception but generally if you change your stations to SD instead of HD during the storm chances are you will not lose the reception. It works for us. BTW, we had heavy rain yesterday afternoon and no loss of pic in HDef. According to my hubby, if you like sports then DirecTV is the winner over Dish with way more choices. Good luck with your choice and welcome to TV.
