Have had Directv in ohio for over a decade with very few problems. Wanted the same when we set up in he villages. When talking with the installer it seems thunderstorms usually affect HD first.....he set up our guide to list each station twice (one with HD and the other as standard). Wouldn't you know it that the next day we started to encounter our first tropical depression. When a breakup started to occur we switched the channel to standard and had dtv with no problem. Although the depression lasted two days we never lost service.
