Dish having transmission issues?

[NYDutch]

With the screwy weather patterns we've been seeing lately, I've added Gilbert, AZ and Cheyenne, WY to my weather app presets so I can do a quick check when the signals go bad and it's clear where I am.

Weather is beautiful in Gilbert now. Excited it's finally under 100. Going in October.

I just lost MLB network for a second.

Looks like it is storming in Cheyenne.

So, is it technically feasible for Dish to upgrade the Gilbert facility to be able to transmit through the storms?

Considering that the incidence of storms, historically, is very low in Gilbert there is little need to do anything at all....

These were the two worst storms in Arizonans recorded history. I would say dish chose a fine place to put the uplink center.

They just need a Bigger sat dish at their uplink center to beat the rain fade.

Haha. They have multiple GIANT satellites. The whole uplink center is awesome. Definitely a fan.

I suspect Gilbert Az will change into a tropical rain forest in a few hundred years.

They ought a copy that dish in Puerto Rico!

Technically, I suppose they could set both Gilbert and Cheyenne up to feed both arcs, and then switch between them as needed for weather conditions. Economically, that likely wouldn't work at all.
