Why Connect to a Phone Line
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellite as it
orbits 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 Network.
When the sun has moved from behind the
satellite, the programs
will reappear. This is
an unavoidable natural event for all television
involving the use of sate
llites and has an adverse
effect on many program providers.
