the signal problems, it's the interference in the air."

Actually, it's a little of both.  However, a well placed dish will 
eliminate almost all of the problems, IF you aren't in an area prone to 
electrical storms.  (I.e. some of Florida, etc.)

This is most likely why to had different results with two services on 
different dishes in the same house.

Like I said, I can count on one hand how many times I lost signal in the 
past 10 years.

I also install Directv on all my rentals (and provide it as part of their 
rent).  Aside from the occasional receiver glitch, I've never had a 
problem.  Also, they have great customer service.
