[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2661774, member: 26737"] Sounds like they both got lousy installers. I installed my own DirecTV dish back in the '90s, and I [I]rarely[/I] lost signal; when I got an HD DVR, they offered free installation of the new HD dish, so I took them up on it. The guy who did the work was worried about the big freaking oak trees surrounding my house, but I almost never lose signal--even during the Christmas blizzard a few years ago, not to mention the ice storms, I had no drop-outs at all. And I'm pretty sure none of the major cable companies offer true a-la-carte programming, either--the contracts with the content providers don't generally allow for that. ("Hmm, you want ESPN, Mr. Cabletown? Well, you have to take Oprah Deportes, the Almost Good Enough for Lifetime Movie Network, and MTV 32 along with it.") [/QUOTE]
