ECEPTION
Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio
programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface
of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to
follow it.
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 will help prevent rain
and snow from interrupting the signal.
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the
DISH Network 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 Network. When the sun has moved
from behind the satellites, the programs will reappear.
This is an unavoidable natural event and has an adverse
effect on many satellite program providers.
