Every spring and autumn, the sun passes directly behind our satellites causing solar noise that interferes with our satellite signal. During this “sun transit” period, you may experience loss of signal and/or loss of picture for up to 20 minutes, once a day, up to 14 consecutive days.Sun Transit Schedule
