Other than that, nothing else I can recall really stands out as being an across-the-board issue for many regarding DirecTV.

That's what bothered me most, storms impacting signals, when I decided against satellite. When we have a hurricane approaching us and conditions are getting worse and worse, that's when we need our signals the MOST. I don't want to be loosing my weather channels then.
