I have d2h HD DVR, and it was with a wide 90 cm dish. So during very heavy rains, especially which start suddenly, there is a minor disruption for 3-5 minutes, which gets restored very immediately. And that is the drawback for all DTH players. Btw, i have used on Videocon & not Airtel. I shared that fact about Airtel which has been said by the users of Airtel in this forum.
