My dish has been installed for close to 4 years now. With the occasional needed adjustment, it has not given me any problems for quality of reception. No fading or degradation either. We get a lot of rain (no snow), and a lot of sun, so I would say that it can stand up to weather pretty well. I think there's some type of warranty with dishes also, I'll try to find it later, gotta run for now.
Get Direct TV with a Tivo, you'll never go back.
