Does Direct tv satellite give problems with reception during heavy rain or snow?
by admin on Nov.30, 2009, under Uncategorized
I've had Direct Tv for almost 7 months. This past week we've had rain and the satellite goes out on a few stations. Comes back. Today, we had to reset everything during a heavy rainfall. Is this a common thing to happen to Satellite tv?? Should I call the company up and ask for credit on the days we had problems?
Yes, heavy rain and snow can interfere with the TV satellite signal.
Driving rain can also move your dish slightly making your reception degrade or even requiring a reset. To avoid this either tighten the clamps holding it in place or add weight to the stand alone bucket that supports the dish.
You can call the company for a service call and have them tighten the connections for you.

I own and use Direct TV with a stand alone stand to support the dish. A stand that I had to add weight to to prevent it from moving.
