I have had both Dish and DirecTV. They are NOT the same.
I first got DirecTV back around '94. I dropped my cable tv because it was absolute crap - picture quality wise and was only broadcasting in mono.
Very happy with DirecTV customer service and signal quality. Moved in 2005 and switched to Dish in order to get local channels (had to play some games to do it back then), but was very unhappy with the customer service.
When my Dish contract ran out - went back to DirecTV. Glad I did.
The "weather" issue with a properly aimed and mounted antenna is not much of a problem at all. I had more problems with my cable service than I ever had with either satellite company.
