Introduction
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 satellites and has an adverse effect on many program providers.
