Introduction
SOLAR INTERFERENCE
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the DISH Network satellite as
it orbits the Earth. The exact time of the year that this occurs varies, depending
on the location, but it is near the beginning of spring and again near the
beginning of autumn. The period of solar interference lasts for a few minutes at
about the same time everyday for a few days during the spring and autumn, so
do not be alarmed when it happens.
This is an unavoidable natural event for all television involving the use of
satellites and has an adverse effect on many program providers. During this
period, you will not be able to see programs on DISH Network. Once the sun
has moved from behind the satellite, the programs will reappear.
