I'm not sure what is meant by MASSIVE, but here in Chicago a moderate drizzle will hose DirecTV to the point where all I get is the "Searching for Signal" message. I don't live in a glass canyon, and my dish has a nice clear view of the southern sky...
Snow will do it as well, of course, and I've noticed that even light precip. will cause artifacts on the video and those horrifying chirps on the audio.
I'd be wary if looking at any ISP that relies on satellite tech.
