Doesn't matter is It's 40 degrees and cloudy or 80 degrees and sunny you can bet blocks of channels will be out. They are now charging me 92.00 a month for 1 TV, no HD, no internet, no on demand, no premium channels. If there is even a cloud in the sky channels will be out. Customer service is even worse. Plan to spend at least 40 min. or more on hold and good luck understanding them when you do finally get someone. Sometimes channels stay off for days. User's recommendation: Dont get Direct TV. They will lie to you when you sign up about pricing and then when you call they will say I'm sorry you were given wrong information but there's really nothing I can do about it now.
