DishNetwork here for 14 years. The worst storms will knock it out, but I have 6 local OTA channels so I usually resort back to them or the DVR when the storms happen. Mainly a summer thing when the big thunderboomers are cruising through. I unplug the TVs anyway when they're around. My sister/BIL have DirectTV and they seem to like it, also.
Mention me and you get $50 off and I get $50 off!
