Why does Dish Network go out every time there is a cloud in the sky?

Question

I swear it goes out all the time. Whenever it rains, we lose our signal. Anyone else have this problem? Makes me wanna go back to cable.

Answer 1

lol,,,,I don't have dish network BUT,,my cable is the same> all we need is a slight breeze and we loose not only the cable but out power too!!!

Just got our power back on yesterday and it went out Sunday after a BAD storm ( that I understand ) but a breeze?

>>Good Luck & choose wisely<<

and the worse part is we pay $150.00 a month for cable and internet!

thats why I watch so much TV and play on here so often>>>getting MY money's worth ( joke )

Answer 2

its because it is the cheapest brand of satellite buy a better brand

Answer 3

I've had both as bad as Directtv is it's better than dish

Answer 4

direct does the same thing, trust me  and it is over priced

Answer 5

really? i never have that problem, in the 3 years i've had it, i think it's gone out maybe 3 times!

call dish, maybe your dish is in a bad spot and moving it would help!

best wishes

Answer 6

I was told it was because the thickness of the clouds and the wiring was not hooked up right. We switched to directv and could not be happier.

Answer 7

I have had Dish and Direct...and you are right ...they go out ..A LOT

If you have the option you should go back to cable!

I moved and now I have Time Warner and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

I have Showtime and Cinamax ON DEMAND as well as a lot of other "on demand" channels like A & E, ect.  there are lots of choices when there is nothing on...it is like having a library full of movies, shows, etc.

PLUS, I have RoadRunner (which is awesome), and telephone with them...that I can call long distance any where with only a monthly charge!!

NO, I do not work for TW...I have never had cable before 18 months ago and I AM A VERY BIG FAN=)

Answer 8

yes, that is whyi was forced back to the expensive comcast!

Answer 9
