signal loss during storms

[dishfan82]

So the guy who installed my dads hopper system had his signal good but then there were trees in the distance that grew so that interferred with the signal making it weak. So he called and another dish guy came out and pointed it in the the other direction. Well that make the signal weaker. He said when storms roll in, its out 10 to 15 mins. He likes the hopper system but should he call dish and get someone out there to realign his dish to fix it? It doesnt sound like hes had techs that don't know what they are doing.

Someone needs to get that pointed right or you have something blocking the view. May also want to check the dish and make sure it's not bent. We've run into that before.

My dish service goes out everytime we have a storm. I live in South Carolina. It's a pain.

My Dish service only goes out during the worst storms, and then usually only for a short period of time. I had worse weather-related outage issues with TimeWarnerCable.

A six year old thread comes back to life! Now that's longevity.

...and a 12 year old thread on the same topic revived on the same day!

There should be a time limit on reviving old threads. Sometimes, I read a whole page before I realize that it is from 2013.
