Introduction
SATELLITE SIGNAL QUALITY
RAIN AND SNOW FADE
Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can
reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt
your programming service. Your service will
return after the weather condition has passed.
Aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest
signal during installation helps prevent rain and
snow from interrupting the signal.
SOLAR INTERFERENCE
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position
behind the DISH satellites as they
orbit the Earth. This event occurs during a
few days at the beginning of the spring
and the beginning of the autumn and lasts
only a few minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be
able to see programs on DISH.
When the sun has moved from behind the
satellite, the programs reappear. This is
an unavoidable natural event for all television
involving the use of satellites and has an
adverse effect on many program providers.
