Other than smog, do you get any weather in LA? Apparently LA, from The Day after tomorrow, you don't get a single cloud that's naturally produced.

I've had my signal fail three times in 4 years...each time when the California weather was so severe that I was less concerned about watching TV and more interested in how quickly I could dig a basement under my home. Yeah, it happens out here and when it does it's monsoon time.

My advice is this. Get the DirecTV Tivo receiver package. Sell your car if you have to. Rent out the wife or girlfriend on an hourly basis if you need the extra cash. But get it. Because as sad as this may sound on the surface, it'll change your life.

Getting rid of your significant other or getting DirectTV?

Do you have HDTV? If you do, you'll get so mad you will end up on the roof with a hockey stick and the cops will have to be called!

[BengalByTheBay]

It looks like you have the info. you needed, but just in case -- DIRECTV with TiVo kicks much ass. Plus, it's the only way you can get Sunday Ticket.

ive got the same intentions bro

[Kazkal]

good deal,

Though DirectTV seems kinda spendy hehe 220dollars+51dollars a month

Then a 150 dollar fee if you don't keep it

I got Direct TV with TIVO and Sunday Ticket last year and it is fantastic. I will never go without it again.

Living in Indiana I do lose the signal sometimes during thunder storms but the benefits more than outweigh the inconveniences.

I live in newport oregon the only weather we have is rain <but no heavy storms>

Does any one know a good place to look for TV's?

Fredmeyers / walmart where I live only have 27inch and smaller

[ShulaSteakhouse]

And don't forget you get NFL Network also and VH-1 Classic - best stations ever.

You may have problems during heavy snow storms or if the snow accumulates on the dish. I had it in Ohio a few years back. Not too much problem at all.

On the TV front, go to Circuit city and look for open box specials.

I've had both cable and satellite.

With the satellite, make sure you get the antenna "tuned" by someone who knows what they are doing so that the transponders are all above 70% (higher the better). When I first got my satellite, I had troubles with storms. Once I had it tuned, I did NOT have problems with storms.

I now have cable, because I wanted high definition without all the extra ($$$) equipment. I even have problems with storms -- now.

I would have gone back to satellite for the VOOM high definition system, but I have too many trees that block my view to the south and they could NOT mount the HD antenna on my roof.

So, if you have good clear access to the south -- go for the satellite and have them show you how each transponder is rating.

Hmmm I was looking at the 20inch wide screen LCF diden't seem to bad just wish it was alittle bigger. <<<My pc has 19incher>>>>

Satellite since 1996 with DirecTV. Probably been down a total of 1 hour due to weather in all those years.

Cable? In that span, with limited basic for awhile missed about one month. This one is a no-brainer.

I've had direct TV twice and had dish net once. Have had zero issues with Direct tv. dish on the other hand went out all the time. Also have DIVO and love it. You can pause, rewind live tv. Fast foward through commercials, etc. It's the bomb. Oh yea, you can tape one show and watch another one at the same time.
