Well i know that many people and including myself have faced signal problems with Tata Sky when it rains. Is this the same problem with Dish TV viewers?

Can you explain throughly, I mean is there no signal at all, or the quality gets poor, and how much rain we talking about that affects the service.

Rain effect is equally applicable to all KU Band communication

Dont know about dish tv but for the first time ever I had no signal for about 15 mins during heavy showers at night here in Delhi and I assume that it was due to rain... it was extremely annoying and frustrating... I have never experienced with my sky connection in UK and I think the reason is that in UK it never rains so heavily as it does here in India.

The signal quality depends upon the rains.

During very heavy rain and thunderstorm, all signal is lost. During medium to heavy rain the TV picture shows some disturbance with choppy video. From light rain, there is small interference lasting 1~2 seconds but could continue for a while.

In Delhi, you will have less of this problem because it does not rain that heavily. Anyway the distortion is only during very heavy rain accompanied by thunder.
