No Directv During Rain - Page 2

Not sure but it could be related to the type of receiver. The complaints I heard about Directtv are from Argentina and Trinidad, I never heard anyone in the US complaining about it although it is known that any service that requires a dish seems to be affected by the weather somehow, just Google the words and you will see.

Comments: We have had Direct TV for 2 years in the Dallas, Texas area (we rarely get snow) and every time someone spits in the wind our boxes go out. It takes more than a minute to reboot and when you are in the middle of a crime show or movie that can be pretty bad. We have had storms knock out the system for 30 min or more. But if you have shows stored on a DVR you can watch those. Yet that in no consolation when you missed the ending of a Who Done It.

This is a big reason why I do not get Direct TV. I would rather stay with my cable and be able to watch my shows in snow or rain.

Rain Directv No

Name: Sharalyn

Comments: We have Direct TV. If it rains, the signal goes OUT. And it is NEVER less than 1 minute. Sometimes it is HOURS. A nice heavy summer rain will do it every time. I'm not talking tornado weather...just a heavy rainfall...more than a mist, knocks our tv out every time. I've heard of "rain shields" that will fix the problem, but I have no idea what that is yet...still Googling that!

Comments: [..] To all the people that said:

I completely agree and would have never guessed. But I have had DirectTV for several years and you get rain harder than the squirt from a passing bird and you start getting the chirps, squeeks, pixilation, terrible distortion then within about 2 minutes, complete black screen. And this will persist for the entire storm, even shortly after the rain has stopped if there's still heavy cloud cover.

I do have two receivers, and the "extra" one goes out first, it is the one provided that had no TIVO features and different software; but the main unit goes shortly after.

I wonder if anyone has a rain shield on their direct tv and if that stops the rain or other weather from effecting the signal?

Comments: I have Direct TV, and when it rains, the signals are gone, whether it's light rain or heavy.

I'm watching World Cup final, and it started to rain, not heavy at all, and the signal is completely lost.

This is their world class quality service?
