Does Direct Tv or Dish mess up during storms?

I have WoW cable and it's so crappy.. It keeps messing up so I want to switch to direct tv or dish but someone told me that during storms it messes up and u have to go fix it every-time.. Is it true that satellite tv services mess up from slight storms or snow?|||Yes, during a heavy downpour it will "mess up". Though not all the time. However, you do not need to do anything to fix it, once the storms pass it will be able to find a signal again. In snow, you may have to remove it from the dish after accumulation. There are certain sprays you can apply to the dish to lessen this.|||Worrier is right; heavy rain and storms cause a loss of signal (no, you don't get a credit for no service). We finally had it with DirecTV, and switched to Verizon FIOS service. It works flawlessly.|||Some time during heavy storms.

  1. I think that most cable systems would have some problems in large storms. I haven't used either network but I am in a similar situation. My husband and I are trying to decide if we should get Dish network. I have been doing some research to learn more about it. I better keep researching so we can make an informed decision about whether to purchase it or not.
