I was a Dish customer for 11 years and during that time I was on the Western Arc. Last March I was contacted by Dish that I had to be migrated to the Eastern Arc and was done so, since that time each and every time it rained moderately my signal went out. Now prior to that I could count on one hand the number of times I lost signal over the 11 years I was with them. Those times were during violent storms where you were more importantly paying attention to if you needed to take cover and not worrying about my sat signal being out. DISH twice sent out techs to try and remedy my situation, which included the last time a new dish, lnb and cabling to try to bring my signal levels where they were suppose to be, but they could not improve them. The last tech could not explain why my signal levels were in the high 30's to low 40's during a clear sunny day with NOTHING blocking the dish. At any rate, with the wet weather we had this spring and summer and my growing animosity of paying for channels I never watch, I made the decision to drop my satellite pay account. I cannot say if my signal levels had stayed the same as they had been prior to my switching arcs, so I did not lose my signal during an entire rain shower, if I would still be with them, as I was already leaning toward pulling the plug. But, being without sat coverage for an entire rain shower certainly did push me to do it sooner rather than later.
