This week and next week will be the peak of the solar outage season for this fall.

C-band customer’s will experience periods once a day , lasting approx. 20min. when all the channels on a particular satellite will become scrambled with different colors or go off completely. This is caused when that particular dish is directly aligned with the satellite and the sun. The satellite signal at that particular time is overwhelmed by the radiation from the sun until they move out of  alignment. The outage will occur on that same satellite at that exact time every day for about a week.
