Lose HD channels when it rains

When it rains, I lose HD channels with error 771; standard definition channels still work. Loss of the HD channels continues several days after it stops raining and there is blue sky.

My TV freezes whenever it rains. I have tried rebooting, unplugging, and nothing worked.

Our tv keeps freezing up distorted. It's cable but acts like satalite when it rains. Tried everything including restart, unplugging and nothing helps. Fees went up but quality went down.

Signed up, then went and did some additional research before the install was schedule and realized its satellite based and Uver
