Is it possible that you have trees moving around causing the signal to break
up. A weak signal takes very little interference to drop out. When it starts
to degrade, you're already on the verge of losing the signal entirely.
The dish probably needs to be adjusted to get a stronger overall signal. In
my 5 years with DTV, I've never dropped the signal because of a storm. If
you can get a signal close to 95% to 99%, you'll experience little or no
downtime.

Subject: [DMCForum] satellite
Farrar-
I am not a TV person, I did watch the last episodes of Friends and I
watch Seinfeld and South Park whenever I have the chance, but I don't
own a TV myself, yeah weird...
So my roommates decide to get satellite, at the otehr place I used to
live, I had cable that worked just fine with my Tv tuner and it was
fun to record shows and edit them. When I moved I didn't watch tv
whatsoever since I didn't get the satellite.
As most of you can imagine I am a Michael J. Fox fan, so I decided to
watch "For love or money" guess what: "looking for signal", then I
said: hum Family Ties is on now too. Chage to TV land and there is
this completely different show on, even though the schedule said
Family Ties. Days later, my roommate says: hey they're showing Lord
of the Rings, before Frodo said a word: "looking for signal" only
came back 2 hours later.
Last, but not least, it was the story about the DeLorean documentary
and again that stupid message. I don't know if I am unlucky or
satellite sucks, every show I tried to watch I wasn't able to.
