Okay, mark this one as the oddest thing I've ever seen. The storms from West Texas/New Mexico have made their way into Tyler... It was just barely coming down and Voom just froze. It was sitting frozen and pixlated for 10-15 minutes, then it started coming down like a cow pissing on a flat rock, and the PQ is as good as ever. What gives, it it can withstand this kind of rainfall, why not a little drizzle?

when it rains i hate satellite..never knew how bad this could get. should have believed the cable commercials. i cant watch even if its the slightest rain. thank God for high speed internet..so i wont be that bored.
oh i forgot to mention..i get free basic cable (75 channels). so i guess i wont be "vooming" when it rains.

Had these storms a couple of days ago... never lost my signal on E* or D*, but part of that time I was at work.(had 3.25") in my gauge
Last week we had a steady rain one day, and my picture on Voom kept going. Then one day a big black cloud for a few minutes and no rain at all showed up and there was no picture for a few minutes.

The weather conditions directly above you aren't necessarily the same as what's in your line of sight. Your dish doesn't point straight up.
I have had no problems in the rain with my 24" (got 76 signal on original software, 98 now).
You could always install a larger dish.

You might never see the rain that causes you to suffer from rain fade.
I do have to admit that my dish network has been rock solid in all but the most torrential squalls. So in that respect, cable companies can [insert favorite disparaging remark].
