New member to Direct TV and like it so far. With that being said..Should I have a back up plan to watch the Cowboy game with a 70% chance of storms that afternoon? How bad do storms effect the signal?

There's no telling. I don't think there is any consistency to it. Some storms effect it some storms don't.

Big thick thunderstorms in your area may possibly affect it. It certainly does ours.

It can certainly be an issue and it seems to happen when you least want it to happen.

I'm a Dish user but Direct has to be pretty much the same. For me it takes a pretty good storm to knock mine out. Even then the local channels will typically tune in when the cable channels wont. That said the last forecast I saw showed the storms mostly moving in later Sunday evening into Monday. But I'm no Hop, so it will probably snow all day Sunday.

That's why I dropped the satellite companies, too much disruption from weather. What little times it did snow and I wanted to watch Tv I had to get on the roof and clean the damn thing. Storms would disrupt it just about evrytime. Maybe it has gotten better but I am good with uverse for now

There's no telling. I don't think there is any consistency to it. Some storms effect it some storms don't. I have it. Some times I loss service until storms moves past. Some times it will last 20 minutes or so. But dish is no better

If it's just rain you will be fine, it's usually only the bad storms that we lose signal for any time, typically 15 min or less and those are few and far between.

Cable people, no need to reply..........Go back to uninterrupted service and enjoy the game Down load the Fox Sports go ap and you can watch it via wifi. IPhone had a HDMI cable you can purchase. I use it on the go in hotels to stream Netflix to the TV
