Oklahoma's storms are more intense, but you also have to consider that Ohio is farther north, so you're shooting through more atmosphere to get from the satellites to the dish. You may also have had a lousy installer...
Dishnet with the Hopper here.
I've had DN for 6 years, I just upgraded to the Hopper. I think new customers get a free I-pad too...
and if you use me as a referral, we both get some kind of discount.
Pm me, I give you my Deetz.

We switched from Cox to DirecTV when we moved. Get a lot more channels for less. We use an under-eave mount for the dish (screw letting them mess with my roof) and very rarely lose reception even is 50+ winds. We kept Cox for the internet only.
Dish here, seldom any problems.
My Hopper connect to the internet, so I still have weather through my broadband on the TV for the few times a year my satellite is affected by storms. Always liked Dish's interface lots better than DirectTV's.
And we can record 3 things at once, plus every major network's PrimeTime every night from 6-10 (this part only stores for a week).
We like it.

Direct TV for us on the southern plains - had a service call once and response/service was great. We don't record anything, so it is fine for us.

We've had Direct TV since 2003 and have been happy with them. As for loss during storms, I'd say that percentage of time is way less than 1/10th of 1% of the time. Our situation is somewhat different in that we live in an RV. We bought our own satellite "antenna" and Direct TV put in the receiver/dvr for us on our last move. On the rare occasion that we've had a problem, Direct TV had excellent customer service when we called in.
Of interest to me, but not to anyone in Oklahoma, when I did some research for our move to Colorado, I found that Direct TV's rates in Colorado are way less than rates in Oklahoma. So, when we get to our new "home site," I'll be setting up my satellite and calling Direct TV with the hope/intent of getting the lower rate. If they refuse, I can cancel our account and the owner of the RV park can set me up with Direct TV for the Colorado rates.
Either way, I'm good.

I've had both, for years. Dish Network has a lot better deals.
I have had both. Started with Direct and switched to Dish. I think there are small things that draw a person to one or the other. Both are susceptible to blackouts or channel price negotiations. Dish is cheaper after the perks wear out, but I have always been able to call them and say hey direct is offering this or that. Dish always throws a few months (usually 6-18) credit on my bill to stay w/o renewing contract. For me it is a which offers more to me for the money = dish. If you sign up pick a buddy from here (or wherever) and you will both get benefits for the referral (don't think anyone mentioned that).
Pretty sure you could get both if you choose and try them both out, as long as you cancel within 30 days. Look into that bc I am not 100% sure.

About six posts up. DirecTV does the same thing.
One thing that's annoying as hell on both is that neither include Fox Sports Southwest/Oklahoma in their base package.
