I have had an EA dish since Feb. 2008, and somewhat recently I have noticed that rain fade seems to be getting more severe and much more common (than it has been been in the past). Could some action by DISH -- like lowing signal levels and/or cramming more channels in -- potentially be the reason? It is about to the point where I'll strongly consider leaving DISH when my contract is up.
Perhaps the dish just isn't pointed as good as it should be. If it is that, I know I can call them and get someone out -- but won't that cost me a pretty penny? And no I don't have their service plan -- seems absurd for me to pay that when it is THEIR equipment (that I'm leasing). I was with DirecTV for 8+ years and never had rain fade (and/or dish pointing) issues like this with them.
