- I believe you will. I had DirecTV for about 8 years, and virtually all electrical storms will negatively effect your signal, to the point of being unable to watch TV. Heavy snow and rain, likewise. I

- We have DirecTV now. We had Dish. Between the two we had Comcast. Comcast was easily the worst in terms of signal delivery--constant pixellation, dropped signal, etc. For all the crap cable companies
