I have had no problems with my dish since I had it..and it's been years. The only problem occured today when we were watching the Steeler game. The last 10 mins., the signal went out for the local channels. We called our buddies down the street who have direct tv and his channels are out too. I don't know what the heck is up with these cable and sat. places, but when it comes time for you to pay your bill, they are holding out their hand. I'm calling them and getting a credit for this day, this is ridiculous!!
