We have Direct TV and have no problems. O, it goes off in thunderstorms, but I guess that's because the signal gets disrupted by clouds and rain. We watch network TV for our special shows like NCIS and CSI, but the Direct TV the rest of the time. I'd hate to have to give it up.
Also, we have two receivers. We have one package deal which is with one receiver, and the second receiver (in my sewing room) only costs $5 more a month and gets all the same channels.
