2008 Sun Outages


For a two-week period in both the spring and fall, you may experience some degree of video interference, due to a phenomena known as sun outages.

For the fall of 2008, sun outages are expected between October 1st and October 15th. This interference begins at approximately 1:30PM and is complete by 5:30PM.

Sun outages are a normal consequence of satellite communications. Our programmers send us their signal via a satellite downlink. The interference is caused when the sun is in a direct line with a communication satellite. The sun's radiation overwhelms the satellite signal.

Related disruptions in service typically last about 15 minutes per day, per satellite. Some symptoms of sun outage include:


Video

  • static, sparkles or fading picture
  • frozen picture
  • black screen
  • snow

Audio

  • hissing
  • popping
  • stutters
