I install DirecTV and the HD quality is superior to any other service out there. 720 is what comes off the birds. There are very few transponders which can handle 1080

Curious how DIRECT TV handles weather? I had DISHNETWORK for a couple years. What a disaster! Every time the wind blew hard (which it does at least 365 days a year!) I got pixilation. This of course means system must re-establish signal. About 3 minutes total of loss of pic/sound. Never a good thing.

In frustration, I went back to cable. Much better. More stable. However, sound/video still not as good as it was with satellite. DIRECT advertises they maintain signal 99% of the time, or some such boast.
