Having Directv for 19+ plus years, the weather had always been a potential locating signal problem. If after 19 years and not come up with a solution, I highly doubt they have solved it now. It seems that weather related issues are just a part of the shooting a signal from their satellite to your home dish. There are some factors, where the dish is located, signal strength, alignment issues, etc. involved where some subscribers will experience more weather related issues than others, but it still is what it is.
