How long have you had it? Price and weather are my two concerns. I used to have sattelite TV back in the day and remember losing it during bad weather which is when I'd be most likely to use it since I'd be stuck inside.

I'm also concerned with Musk being an unhinged narcissist.

I've had it since spring 2022. Only experienced interruption a few times due to rain, and only for a few minutes at a time. It is likely accumulated water on the antenna face itself that causes the issue. Antenna looks nearly due north from my place (Fairfax) and the face is not at a steep angle. I need to install it on my roof so that may change the angle and fix it anyway. Not sure how it will perform in a three day blizzard, but I suspect quite well as long as the antenna remains clear of ice/snow. It could also be signal strength not making it through the cloud cover, but I doubt it.
