DirecTV satellite dish remained intact


DirecTV Weathers the Storm

How well did DirecTV manage the hurricanes that recently blew through Florida? With flying colors, stated one customer of the satellite TV company.

A subscriber in Palm Beach wrote DirecTV about the service before, during and after a recent storm. The customer had a DirecTV system hooked up to a generator, which allowed for TV reception of critical news and information and (more importantly for the viewer) access to HBO. The customer reported 115 mph winds blowing through the neighborhood, as well as trees falling to the ground and debris traveling through the air.

During the entire time the hurricane ravaged the area, the DirecTV satellite dish remained intact on the roof. "Let me tell you when they put that dish up its not going anywhere," the customer wrote DirecTV.

That's great news for satellite TV viewers in the Sunshine State. The not so great news for cable customers: According to the Florida-based DirecTV customer, cable service in the area is still out and may be out for weeks.
