Apples and footballs: DIRECTV is limited by the size of the antenna; chosen by cities and municipalities. That limits the feed horn assembly; rain attenuation and rain drop size causes disruptions. Mars is transmitting to enormous antennas in multiple frequencies.

It ain't the rain blocking the signal. It's the clouds. Use their streaming services. Problem solved.
