iPhone. A vast array of weather applets - I generally multitask NOAA (the official word), The Weather Channel (great moving satellite imagery that shows cloud locations and rain), and My-Cast (by far the closest radar to real time, never more than about 15 minutes behind at most). Runs on batteries and surfs on the cell system.

We're thinking hard about Dish and DirectTV, both of which seem to be popular in our neighborhood, judging from the number of antennas I can count between here and Heine Bros.
I'm interested in personal experiences, though, if any of you have tried any or all and have personal experiences to compare. How about pricing, signal quality, reliability (what happens in rainy/snowy weather?), and, not least, quality of customer service.
Tell us your best, and worst, experiences as I ponder this life-changing decision.
