Might just be the area but roof mounted direct line of sight south and still half the time it has to switch over to "streaming" to receive the channel. Used to get DTV because they had NFL Sunday ticket but now that's on YouTube. Last thing is you'll be bombarded with sales calls telling you you can get Show Time or whatever free for a month or so and can cancel at anytime. The company they use are rude and obnoxious on the phone. I only have it as a convenience thing now.
