The biggest issue that I have with sat is with bad weather, just a bit of rain can kill your signal. Sure, it'll be back up within a few seconds but if you are watching a game or something nothing will piss you off more than that. Strangely enough medium rains won’t knock out my sat, only light rain and heavy rain will… oh yeah and the occasionally jet that flies overhead.
Other negatives: Not sure if this is the same as with DTV, but with Dish Network occasionally they will have qualms with various networks over money and will sometimes lose that channel. In the channel's place they'll plaster a message about how you need to do their work for them and call up or write whoever and tell them to submit to Dish's demands lol.
Another negative: Some places (depends if you rent/own) won’t let you install things on the roof, if that’s the case you’ll have to ghetto-up your yard by putting the dish on a tripod or pole.
Big negative with DTV: Not easily hackable like Dish Network, so you can’t use FTA units and the like with it.
