<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: As Good as Cable?
According to Mike Bacon of edubook.com, "Customers report that their (Dish Network) reception is quite good, usually." According to Dish Network, the digital audio and video it provides is equal to that of digital cable.
On the Other: Weather and Position can be Hindrances
If the dish is not aligned in a direct view of the southern sky without obstructions, the images on the screen will not be clear. Weather can be another hindrance to the quality of Dish Network TV. Rain, clouds, ice, snow, frost and wind can all cause the reception to be fuzzy or not come through at all.
Bottom Line
Dish Network works incredibly well for providing a clear and high quality image as long as it is installed perfectly and the weather outside is ideal. Because of the conditions needed for Dish Network to work well, you might want to ask yourself if it is worth the money, installation time and hassle if it fails in the middle of your TV programs.
