I was a delighted Dish customer for a little over 2 years.
I moved around the first of the year and am stuck with Cox cable for the time being. My landlord is having the roof redone and doesn't want me to put a satellite dish on it, yet. Cable is alright, but I'm paying more a month for what seems like less. Not to mention the fact that Cox, at least in my area, doesn't carry FOX Sports Midwest and with baseball season starting up pretty soon that sucks. Some of the channels are problematic (bad picture et cetera) and it seems like they're working on it all the time as I'm subject to periodic blackouts of certain blocks of channels. My phone company takes care of my internet, so, there's no hassle, however, I can see how that might be a problem for some.
I've had Primestar, DirecTV, DISH and now cable and I have to say DISH has the superior product. Great customer service and I believe they're running a special on multiple room installation and DVR. Suffice it to say that in a few months, I'll be switching back to DISH. I've never really had a problem with signal strength. Right before heavy thunderstorms it would occasionally cut out, but only for a few moments. Ice could concievably be a problem, but as long as you have a clear line of sight they can install it just about anywhere. I installed one myself right off my front porch. And the guide isn't all that clumsy, it's just a new system to learn, no different than DirecTV or digital cable.
