Yes, we live in a very windy area and had no issues. We are still having issues with the multiple recordings, but we are waiting for an update. When we reviewed all the other cable/dish companies...Dish is still the best programing, customer service, price and nice to deal with. The update on the hopper issue is coming out in a couple of weeks, so we are hanging in.

I would not recommend the Hopper at all, in any weather. Have not had trouble in weather conditions and I have snow and some rain this time of year. Have only had it since January and I dislike it immensely. The worst system I have ever had in our home. We do like the amount of hours of recording because we are not home to watch and we can record as much as we want and I can record all of my husband's football, golf and baseball without worrying about time left on the recorder. I just can't warn you enough. They have a lot of work to do to make it better in any way. Good luck, Carol

I live on the Oregon coast. About 50 yds from the Pacific Ocean. We get major storms off the ocean in the winter. I've never had trouble with either Dish or DirecTV. It never bothers the signal.

Pretty much so. I used it in in the high Sierra at above 11,000 ' this past spring and encountered a hard rain and wet snow. It did it's job well. It's also a very good windbreaker. At some point, all rain jackets lose some of their repellency. I've only had it about a year so i cannot tell how long it will work without leaking, but my expectation is that it'll work well for a few years yet.

It works great in big rainstorms. The reason I bought it was because my friend has had one for about 5 years And it's still holding up.

I having been using this product on 3 cars for over 18 months and it is still as reliable as day 1. It has gone through many car washes and bad weather.

Mine has held up well in NW corner of NJ. We had below zero weather snow, ice and rain and it did OK.

Yes. Been thru some really bad storms with high winds and some large hail, not a sign of any damage.

I have had mine for a couple of years now and I live in South Florida. It has held up much better than I expected in the sun, rain & wind. I would not hesitate to purchase one again when mine finally dies.

I have to say I was worried about the warranty, etc. We purchased in the spring and have had no problems this summer even with wet weather. I would recommend it.

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

I wouldn't use it AT ALL in any weather! Mine was CRAP and failed to lock. Very flimsy. There are better alternatives.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.

Mine is. Has survived a daily monsoonal downpour (I live in Malaysia) no problem. But it's still very new...

Hey Brad, yes it's perfectly safe to leave outside in all weathers, ours has been on the pole under an umbrella now for a long time & works like it did from day one.

I have been using it outside, simply because it's so cheap. 1.5 years later it still works. When it was under a roof overhang, it never failed, ever! Since then I've moved it to a tree and it has been through rain, snow, and freezing rain. The only thing that stopped working is being able to pan up (down and left/right still work), but that might have happened from being dropped.

I live in Florida and it works great. Dont think the cold should affect it but maybe salt? I've no problems with rain and for the price I have no complaints.

Everything seems to be weather resistant as far as I can tell. Mine has been left out in the rain a couple of times and is showing no ill effects from it.
