According to my NOAA meteorologist friend, you are right, IF the base of the clouds are at the same level. Just being taller (higher) doesn't mean they have more water.
Any plans for DTV to release new mini genies?

A high cirrus cloud is just a high cloud with little water in it. A towering cumulonimbus cloud could have a base at 1000 feet but go up 70,000.
That also explains why you can lose signal while not having a storm in the area ... in most cases the Sat signal is to your Southwest ... and in most cases our weather comes from that direction, if there are tall clouds via a storm miles away it could be cities away raining and THAT storm is blocking the signal to the dish, while the sun may be out at home.
If you are east of the Mississippi, yes. If you live on the west coast then no, the signals are from the southeast.
Really, I didn't realize there was That much difference ....
I would have thought SW and South if I were to take a guess.
Then again, if I had a reason, I would look up the co-ordinates and see the difference ...
The look angle from my house in central CT to 101 is 233, from San Fransisco it's 134.
Which explains why the elevation is so much higher down there in South Texas as well.
I'm roughly 220* in NW Ohio ... its been awhile since I had to line one up or I would know the exact numbers.
and that is why there need to be a way to get Dolby Digital Plus out with needing your SOUND box to have 4Kp120
