Unfortunately dan, satellite its still judged today by it's early incarnations or by the absolute worst install qualities (gigantic old C-band dish or losing signal at the slightest rain our bad weather). I was actually listening to a radio add from the omaha cable company (cox if I recall) that simply bashed satellite solely on bad weather. I can't count the number of customers I install as a dish technician & I get to hear their horror stories of the cable guy doing horrible quality work or just being a terrible tech all around. I learned early on that if I saw existing lines from the cable company that I would probably have to replace it (59 wire, too many splices, ugly cable run, etc).
